QDockWidgets normally live inside a QMainWindow dock area when they are not floating, so the nature of your program is a little bit unclear.
QWidget::focusWidget() or QApplication::focusWidget() will tell you where input focus is. If that is inside (a descendant child) one of your dock widgets then you have your answer.

Adding to @ChrisW67:
QApplication::focusWidget()tells you the widget (if any), that currently gets input focus.widget->focusWidget()isn’t static, has to be called on a widget. It returns what has focus, ifwidget->window()got activated.
