Hi,

QDockWidget is designed to be used with a QMainWindow. With it, you'll be able to "tabify" your dock widgets.

Hope it helps

Well, what is it you want to do?

Using a QMainWindow as the QTabWidgets widget might be an idea, it enables you to use QDockWidgets on every tab of the tabwidget. But since you never stated what you're trying to achieve, this might not help you at all. (I hope it does, though. ;) )

Or, you just don't use a QTabWidget at all and go for the dockwidgets feature to form tabs of their own. If neither of these two possibilities are of any help, you need to give us more information.
