Dockable widget in a widget (not the QMainWindow)?

[Alain38 0]

Hi,
I have an application with a QStackedWidget as central widget. In this stack, one page is divided in two parts:

• a set of tools with configuration widgets specific to each tool (a little bit like that you find in GIMP),

• the display widget

Now, what I wants is that the set of tools acts as a QDockedWidget. That is to say:

• I must be able to undock it, and have it as floating widget. Then I must be able to move it,

• I must be able to dock it again in the page, when I drop it close to the borders of the page.

I have tried to use QDockWidget for this. But I only have the half of my needs. I am not able to dock it again, when it is in floatable state.

Is it possible with QDockWidget (ar another existing class), or should I implement all from QWidget?

Hi
The QMainwindow provides the dock areas so it cant work as a widget.
However, you can use QMainwindow as a widget and cheat in that way.
However, its a bit hacky.

Thanks a lot. It works. Now I just have to set a style to the Dock widget
