When a dock widget is floating, how to reset it back to its initial area when a button is pressed?

[A Former User]

Hello everyone, hope all is well! Currently I want to create a function that moves all dock widgets back to their initials places if a certain button is pressed. I am currently using the isFloating method to detect if the dock is not in its initial area. However, I am still trying to figure out how to have the program place the dock back in its initial dockWidgetArea when the button is pressed. Any advice on how to do this?

Hi,

One way would be to store that information when your application starts or ends for the next usage and then reload that configuration.

@SGaist Would I be able to save multiple configurations?

Well, I don't see a reason why you couldn't. Implement the saving part in such a way. You can use a key value approach with the name of the "layout configuration" as a key and your widgets configuration as the value.
