Combining widgets

[TETTRA]

@mrjj Sorry, but I'm new, could you give me an example?

[mrjj]

@TETTRA
Example on ?

[TETTRA]

@mrjj Yes

[mrjj]

@TETTRA
sorry ?
you just include the .h file and then u can use the class

//somefile.cpp
#include "mywidget.h"
then you can do
mywidget * w= new mywidget();

[TETTRA]

@mrjj It doesn't work out for me.

DockWidget:

#include "dockwodgets.h"
#include "stylehelper.h"

dockWodgets::dockWodgets()
{
    layer = new QDockWidget();
}

Connect:

//docks
             docks = new dockWodgets();

[mrjj]

@TETTRA
you must give more details.
what is error ?
what does not work ?
I cant tell anything from that code :)
seems fine.

[TETTRA]

@mrjj
DockWidget

#include "dockwodgets.h"
#include "stylehelper.h"

dockWodgets::dockWodgets()
{
    layer = new QDockWidget();
}

MainWindow

  //docks
             docks = new dockWodgets();

That's all I did. My program is running, but the "docks" isn,t shown.

@TETTRA
make sure to show() on it.
layer = new QDockWidget();
layer->show();

[TETTRA]

@mrjj This widget simply opens. I need him open already and attached to the main window.

[mrjj]

@TETTRA
You also need to add it to the mainwindow with
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmainwindow.html#addDockWidget

[TETTRA]

@mrjj like this?

void QMainWindow::addDockWidget(Qt::DockWidgetArea area, QDockWidget *dockWidget, Qt::Orientation orientation){
           dockWidgets *docks = new dockWidgets();
            docks->show();
}

[mrjj]

@TETTRA
no ?
The function already exists.
so you just need to call it. not define a new function.

QDockWidget * mine== new QDockWidget;
addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, mine); // this is build in function.

Maybe you should try the dock sample first
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-mainwindows-dockwidgets-example.html

[TETTRA]

@mrjj I wrote,

dockWidgets *dock = new dockWidgets;
             addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, dock);

but I didn't get anything done

[mrjj]

@TETTRA

Cant explain.
Try the sample first to get friends with Docks.
also
is dockWidgets
a QDockWidget?
the (s) is confusing.

@mrjj said in Combining widgets:

So I have it in another (. Cpp) file!

@TETTRA
well as long as the class inherited QDockWidget it should be fine.
