QDockwidgets dissapear when MainForm Minimize??

zeroptr

Hi All,

I'm writing a new app with two dock panel, when I run the machine and minimize it dockpanels dissapears.. I tried it on windows and linux same behaviour.

I saw on internet that many people have the same issue... Maybe this was fixed by QT or do you have a simple solution for that?

Hi
Its not a bug. its pr design.
There is no good solution to avoid it but it seems reparenting can make it stay up

Hi,

As @mrjj suggested, you should extract the widget contained in your floating docks when minimizing
your main window and put them back in place after that.
