Detailed Description

The QDockWidget class provides a widget that can be docked inside a QMainWindow or floated as a top-level window on the desktop.

\inmodule QtWidgets

QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also know as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the {dock widget area} around the \l{QMainWindow::centralWidget()}{central widget} in a QMainWindow.

Dock windows can be moved inside their current area, moved into new areas and floated (e.g., undocked) by the end-user. The QDockWidget API allows the programmer to restrict the dock widgets ability to move, float and close, as well as the areas in which they can be placed.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ DockWidgetFeature

enum QDockWidget::DockWidgetFeature

\value DockWidgetClosable The dock widget can be closed.

\value DockWidgetMovable The dock widget can be moved between docks by the user. \value DockWidgetFloatable The dock widget can be detached from the main window, and floated as an independent window. \value DockWidgetVerticalTitleBar The dock widget displays a vertical title bar on its left side. This can be used to increase the amount of vertical space in a QMainWindow. \value NoDockWidgetFeatures The dock widget cannot be closed, moved, or floated.

signal

This signal is emitted when the \l features property changes.

The features parameter gives the new value of the property.

◆ initStyleOption()

protectedvirtual

Initialize option with the values from this QDockWidget.

This method is useful for subclasses when they need a QStyleOptionDockWidget, but don't want to fill in all the information themselves.

void QDockWidget::setFloating ( bool floating )

Definition at line 1452 of file qdockwidget.cpp.

◆ setTitleBarWidget()

void QDockWidget::setTitleBarWidget ( QWidget * widget )

Since: 4.3

Sets an arbitrary widget as the dock widget's title bar. If widget is \nullptr, any custom title bar widget previously set on the dock widget is removed, but not deleted, and the default title bar will be used instead.

If a title bar widget is set, QDockWidget will not use native window decorations when it is floated.

Here are some tips for implementing custom title bars:

\list

Mouse events that are not explicitly handled by the title bar widget must be ignored by calling QMouseEvent::ignore(). These events then propagate to the QDockWidget parent, which handles them in the usual manner, moving when the title bar is dragged, docking and undocking when it is double-clicked, etc.

When DockWidgetVerticalTitleBar is set on QDockWidget, the title bar widget is repositioned accordingly. In resizeEvent(), the title bar should check what orientation it should assume:
QDockWidget *dockWidget = qobject_cast<QDockWidget*>(parentWidget());

if (dockWidget->features() & QDockWidget::DockWidgetVerticalTitleBar) {

// I need to be vertical

} else {

// I need to be horizontal

}

The title bar widget must have a valid QWidget::sizeHint() and QWidget::minimumSizeHint(). These functions should take into account the current orientation of the title bar.

It is not possible to remove a title bar from a dock widget. However, a similar effect can be achieved by setting a default constructed QWidget as the title bar widget. \endlist

Using qobject_cast() as shown above, the title bar widget has full access to its parent QDockWidget. Hence it can perform such operations as docking and hiding in response to user actions.

See also: titleBarWidget(), DockWidgetVerticalTitleBar

Definition at line 1840 of file qdockwidget.cpp.

◆ setWidget()

void QDockWidget::setWidget ( QWidget * widget )

Sets the widget for the dock widget to widget.

If the dock widget is visible when widget is added, you must \l{QWidget::}{show()} it explicitly.

Note that you must add the layout of the widget before you call this function; if not, the widget will not be visible.

See also: widget()

Definition at line 1387 of file qdockwidget.cpp.

◆ titleBarWidget()

QWidget * QDockWidget::titleBarWidget ( ) const

Since: 4.3 Returns the custom title bar widget set on the QDockWidget, or \nullptr if no custom title bar has been set.

See also: setTitleBarWidget()

Definition at line 1862 of file qdockwidget.cpp.

◆ toggleViewAction()

QAction * QDockWidget::toggleViewAction ( ) const

Returns a checkable action that can be added to menus and toolbars so that the user can show or close this dock widget.

The action's text is set to the dock widget's window title.

Note: The action can not be used to programmatically show or hide the dock widget. Use the \l visible property for that.

See also: QAction::text, QWidget::windowTitle

Definition at line 1744 of file qdockwidget.cpp.

◆ topLevelChanged

void QDockWidget::topLevelChanged ( bool topLevel )

signal

This signal is emitted when the \l floating property changes.

The topLevel parameter is true if the dock widget is now floating; otherwise it is false.

See also: isWindow()

◆ visibilityChanged

void QDockWidget::visibilityChanged ( bool visible )

signal

Since: 4.3

This signal is emitted when the dock widget becomes visible (or invisible). This happens when the widget is hidden or shown, as well as when it is docked in a tabbed dock area and its tab becomes selected or unselected.

Note: The signal can differ from QWidget::isVisible(). This can be the case, if a dock widget is minimized or tabified and associated to a non-selected or inactive tab.

◆ widget()

QWidget * QDockWidget::widget ( ) const

Returns the widget for the dock widget.

This function returns zero if the widget has not been set.

See also: setWidget()

Definition at line 1370 of file qdockwidget.cpp.

◆ features

DockWidgetFeatures QDockWidget::features

Definition at line 24 of file qdockwidget.h.

Referenced by testing.tools.test_runner._PerProcessConfig::InitializeFeatures().

◆ floating

bool QDockWidget::floating

readwrite

whether the dock widget is floating

A floating dock widget is presented to the user as a single, independent window "on top" of its parent QMainWindow, instead of being docked either in the QMainWindow, or in a group of tabbed dock widgets.

Floating dock widgets can be individually positioned and resized, both programmatically or by mouse interaction.

By default, this property is true.

When this property changes, the {topLevelChanged()} signal is emitted.

See also: isWindow(), topLevelChanged()

Definition at line 23 of file qdockwidget.h.

◆ windowTitle

QString QDockWidget::windowTitle

readwrite

the dock widget title (caption)

By default, this property contains an empty string.
