    Description

      ...unless private QQuickWindow API is used, like in QQuickWidget::show() and hide().

      qquickitemgrabresult.cpp contains this code:

      {{
      if (!item->window()->isVisible())

      { qWarning("Item::grabToImage: item's window is not visible"); return 0; }

      }}

      that makes it impossible to use grabToImage() on a hidden QWindow. This window, however, may be a hidden window that QQuickWidget uses internally to render results into a framebuffer object. The example "rendercontrol" also uses such a window. This makes it impossible to grab items, that are visible, but contained in an internal, hidden, QWindow, effectively disabling a part of Qt functionality.
