I am trying to add an additional screen to my application which is running qt, however I can not get the screen to display unless its in the same group as the qt screen.

Is there a way to determine the qt screen group, either by using the handle to the window or some other method?

Changing a windows zposition will work in making the window visible, but I dont think its the correct way to have my window made visible as then I would be acting as a window manager.

What does work is if I just get the winId() and join that window to a group, then I can join a non Qt window to the same group. However I was under the impression that Qt was already adding the window to a group and that its best to use that same group.

If you are using blackberry.so as the plugin, Qt indeed created a window group.

But if this is the case, the group name is thus created by QUuid::createUuid, so it is kind of random (the intention I think is that the group name is unique regard the apps on your device).  Also the group name seems not be a property of any window, so you are not able to retrieve it even if you have a handle of window.

So simply put, I didn't know a way to do this without modifing the source code of the plugin (to let it set a group name you provide, or let it save the group name it uses so you know...).
