how to set QDockWidget location

Daniil S.

Hello everyone, can someone tell me if it possible to place dockwidget like on pic

control panel can be placed on the left or right side, but it must be up to the bottom
work panel can be placed under the central widget or above, or floatable

now i have the code:

control panel:

setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
setFeatures(features() ^ QDockWidget::DockWidgetClosable ^ QDockWidget::DockWidgetFloatable);

work panel :

setAllowedAreas(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea);
setFeatures(features() ^ QDockWidget::DockWidgetClosable);

and mainwindow:

setCorner(Qt::TopLeftCorner, Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea);
setCorner(Qt::TopRightCorner, Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
setCorner(Qt::BottomLeftCorner, Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea);
setCorner(Qt::BottomRightCorner, Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);

addDockWidget(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea, work_panel);
addDockWidget(Qt::DockWidgetArea::RightDockWidgetArea, control_panel, Qt::Vertical);

and its dont work, any ideas?

Hi,

AFAIK, no.

You might want to check KDAB's KDDockWidgets.

@SGaist code above works with minor changes, but only in the mingw 5.15.2 x32 compiler
changes:
control panel:

//setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea); all areas 
setFeatures(features() ^ QDockWidget::DockWidgetClosable ^ QDockWidget::DockWidgetFloatable);

of course it work not fully right, control panel can placed at any corner, but i think i can connect to QDockWidget::dockLocationChanged and place it like i need after drag
