[SOLVED] QDockWidget missing title text

xcoder

Hello,

I've been stuck for a while with a problem which doesn't make sense (at least to me)

I tried extending QDockWidget class, to add extra functionality, and promote it in the QDesigner, my extra functions work perfectly, but when the dock widget is docked, it is missing a title, if it's floating everything appears to be fine.

Here is have it looks with my extended class:

And here have it should look, and it does if I don't extend it:
!http://morf.lv/modules/zlTeam/images/original_title.png!

My header file:
@#ifndef XTOOLWIDGET_H
#define XTOOLWIDGET_H

#include <QDockWidget>
#include <QEvent>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QWidget>

class XToolWidget : public QDockWidget
{
public:
explicit XToolWidget ( QWidget * parent = 0, Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0 );

protected:
void changeEvent(QEvent *event);

};

#endif // XTOOLWIDGET_H@

and the source file:
@#include "xtoolwidget.h"

XToolWidget::XToolWidget(QWidget *parent, Qt::WindowFlags flags)
: QDockWidget(parent, flags)
{
}

void XToolWidget::changeEvent(QEvent *event)
{
qDebug() << "Something happened to the ToolWidget";
event->accept();
}@

It should have been such a simple thing to do, but I wasn't able to find why the title text is missing.

Thanks

You consume all events before they ever reach your base class. So it will never get a paint event!

Pass events on to QDockWidget and this should work.

Thank you!!

Funny, this is second time I made this mistake, I had the same problem with graphics scene.

Hopefully, this is the last time I make this mistake.
