QDockWidget setTabPosition does not work

Hi all.

I am trying to set tabs on top when QDockWidgets are tabified. However, if I use QtCreator and generate a widget project, I don't have access to setTabPosition.

In the examples, provided by Qt (dockwindgets.pro), I can access the setTabPosition method but compiler returns:

ui->setTabPosition(Qt::DockWidgetArea::TopDockWidgetA rea, QTabWidget::TabPosition::North);

Qt::DockWidgetArea::TopDockWidgetArea is not a class or namespace
QTabWidget::TabPosition is not a class or namespace.

Thanks.

Try this

setDockOptions(QMainWindow::AnimatedDocks | QMainWindow::VerticalTabs);

QDockwidget does not have a setTabPosition() member function. I am assuming the ui object is a QMainWindow. Fix your syntax and all should be well.

Code:

---

ui->setTabPosition(Qt::TopDockWidgetArea, QTabWidget::North );

If the code posted actually came from an "example provided by Qt" then you should log it is a bug against Qt specifying exactly where it exists.

You're replying to a year old post.
In my opinion there's nothing wrong with providing a solution to an open problem, obviously, it's just that you're writing as if he's still looking for the answer.

Indeed. Didn't notice that the poster before me had resurrected the thread
simonWirex's suggestion is not the answer either.
