Maya 2014 placing Qt Widgets on top of viewport

[Grant Bartel]

Hello,

For a plugin I am trying to make I want to be able to place Widgets on top of Maya's viewport so that I can subdivide the viewport out in to regions however whenever I add a widget to the viewport (making it a child of the M3dView) the viewport does not draw anything in the region under the widget or if it does then setting transparency does not seem to be working.  If anyone has any ideas of a way to do this effectively then it would be much appreciated.  This is the code that I am currently using to test: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7075799/

Thanks,

Grant
