qdockwidget

In Qt, you can tabify dockWidgets. If I do that, the tabs show on the bottom of the dockWidgets, as is shown in the left sketch. This is the behavior I get under Windows 7 with the latest Qt4 and PyQt4. How can I tell Qt to place the tabs on the dockWidgets top as shown in the right sketch? default: tabs on bottom I want: tabs on top +--------------------+ +------+-----+ | dockWidget1 | | tab1 | tab2|-------+ | | | | | tab1 | tab2|-------| | dockWidget1 | +------+-----+ +--------------------+ You can call QMainWindow.setTabPosition (self, Qt.DockWidgetAreas areas, QTabWidget.TabPosition

I am developing a tool which will have some variable sized windows. I am able to achieve this using the QSplitter horizontal & vertical. Please see attached image. Now, how to make these individual windows detachable/maximize/close? How can I add cross markers at the top-right-corner of each window so that they can be closed maximized or detached from there?

I’m trying to make an application consisting of a QMainWindow , the central widget of which is a QToolBar (it may not be usual, but for my purpose the toolbar’s well suited). Docks are allowed below only. I added a QDockWidget to it, and a QAction on the QToolBar toggles the QDockWidget on and off with removeDockWidget() and restoreDockWidget() . The default size of the QMainWindow is 800 by 24, QToolBar ’s maximumHeight is set to 24 too. Right after the removeDockWidget() is called, QMainWindow ’s geometry is set back to (0,0,800,24) with setGeometry() . What I want to achieve is to resize

Win 7, Qt 5.3 I use a QDockWidget with my application. Works as intended. Now I hide the title bar by setting setTitleBarWidget(new QWidget(this)) to a default constructed widget. This is the standard way according to Qt documentation. Also works, title bar is gone. In order to undock my widget as window, I use myDockWidget->setFloating(true) (in my own slot). But now, when the widget is undocked, the floating window has no longer borders (hence cannot be moved). If I comment out setTitleBarWidget , also myDockWidget->setFloating(true) works. So the original title bar seems to incorporate some

I have a question regarding dragging QDockWidgets between QMainWindows. I have an application with different "DockAreas" which have a QMainWindow member with one or more QDockWidgets. Additionally, I want to make QDockWidgets drag-and-droppable into other, already floating QDockWidgets (not tabbed!). To have the nice hover-effect upon drag-and-drop, the floating QDockWidgets are embedded in a new instance of my DockArea with the QMainWindow member. Now I intercept the mousemove event of the dragged QDockWidget and change its parent when it hovers over another QMainWindow of my DockArea.

I am using QDockWidgets and placing two of them on the left side of my application so that tabs can be used to select between them. However, Qt's default behavior for this looks horrible and is unintuitive. Instead of being able to drag the tabs to move the widgets, it places another bar below the selected tab (with the same name) that must be dragged instead. As a user, it would be hard to figure this out. (My QDockWidgets are "Attributes" and "Library") Is there a way to get rid of this second bar and make it so I can move my QDockWidgets by dragging the tabs themselves? If you are adding

I've just started working on a new C++/Qt project. It's going to be an MDI-based IDE with docked widgets for things like the file tree, object browser, compiler output, etc. One thing is bugging me so far though: I can't figure out how to programmatically make a QDockWidget smaller. For example, this snippet creates my bottom dock window, "Build Information": m_compilerOutput = new QTextEdit; m_compilerOutput->setReadOnly(true); dock = new QDockWidget(tr("Build Information"), this); dock->setWidget(m_compilerOutput); addDockWidget(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea, dock); When launched, my program
