How to disable snapping/docking of QDockWidget to the centeral widget ?

[QtVik]

Hi,

Basically i want all my QDockWidgets to remain floating(unDocked) always and shouldn't snap/dock to the central widget when I try to reposition it dragging using titleBar.
How to achieve that ?

Thanks

Hi
you can try with Qt::NoDockWidgetArea
dockWidget->setAllowedAreas( Qt::NoDockWidgetArea );
but not sure they can be there from start.

Why use docks when you dont want to dock them?

@mrjj Basically I want an option to set the dock widget to behave floating(unDocked) when i force it to remain unDocked irrespective of the position/movement .
But i need an option for dock widget also if i want it to be.
