DockWidget

#include "dockwodgets.h"
#include "stylehelper.h"

dockWodgets::dockWodgets()
{
    layer = new QDockWidget();
}

MainWindow

  //docks
             docks = new dockWodgets();

That's all I did. My program is running, but the "docks" isn,t shown.

@TETTRA
make sure to show() on it.
layer = new QDockWidget();
layer->show();

@mrjj This widget simply opens. I need him open already and attached to the main window.

@TETTRA
You also need to add it to the mainwindow with
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmainwindow.html#addDockWidget

[TETTRA]

@mrjj like this?

void QMainWindow::addDockWidget(Qt::DockWidgetArea area, QDockWidget *dockWidget, Qt::Orientation orientation){
           dockWidgets *docks = new dockWidgets();
            docks->show();
}

[mrjj]

@TETTRA
no ?
The function already exists.
so you just need to call it. not define a new function.

QDockWidget * mine== new QDockWidget;
addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, mine); // this is build in function.

Maybe you should try the dock sample first
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-mainwindows-dockwidgets-example.html

@mrjj I wrote,

dockWidgets *dock = new dockWidgets;
             addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, dock);

but I didn't get anything done

@TETTRA

Cant explain.
Try the sample first to get friends with Docks.
also
is dockWidgets
a QDockWidget?
the (s) is confusing.

So I have it in another (. Cpp) file!

@TETTRA
well as long as the class inherited QDockWidget it should be fine.
