    example code
    @connect(ui->checkBox, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), ui->dockWidget, SLOT(setHidden(bool)));@

    of course you should adapt the widget names to your needs.

          Heh, awesome, thanks for the help, that worked, sorry, I should have known this, as much as I've been studying Qt, you'd think, by now, after 3 or more months, I know it all, hahaha.. Honestly, I don't, it's due to my laziness and not doing anything other than Menus and QTextEdits, decided to try something different for a change, and so far, heck yeah, =). Thanks again.

              Looks to me like almost all things in Qt requires Sigs/Slots..

                  Heh, have to write more codes it appears, when a user clicks the X, the Checkbox doesn't automatically Uncheck. Also, having an issue with getting the DockWidget to stay small, I did get it so it stays at bottom, but now it's onto learning how to make it resize, tried the dckwidget->setGeometry(0, 150, 1024, 100); but it didn't appear to do anything, =/. It still stays just as large as the parent window.

                    You need to emit a signal from the dockwidget and connect it with a slot of the checkbox.

                        It's not that difficult.
                        Hint : Use the same approach as before. Look for a signal and slot with a bool argument.
