Hey guys!
I would like to have a dockWidget positioned in the middle of my MainWindow. So what I did was:
QVboxLayout *grid = new QVBoxLayout(centralWidget());
grid->addWidget(ui->initial_dockWidget);
This achivied what i need because it did open the dock maximized in centralWidget as i want.
However, I can't undock the dock my dragging it. I can undock only by doubleclick or by pressing float button. Does anybody knows how to fix it?
Thanks
No wonder. You are misusing dock widgets. They are not added to the central widget, they are added to the QMainWindow itself using QMainWindow::addDockWidget(). QMainWindow has an entire protocol in its internal implementation for handling dock widgets, docking, undocking, tabbed / non-tabbed, etc.. You can't just plop a dock widget down anywhere in your widget hierarchy and expect it to work the same way.
I know that, but I need to have a centralDock. Using the centralWidget works fine with docks for me if I don't use the layout. Without the layout the dragging-undock works fine, but not with the Layout. I use the layout because the dock has a picture inside and it should open maximized to show the whole picture, and this only works if I use the layout.

No, you don't. You need a central widget to satisfy the requirements for using QMainWindow. You need to design a custom QWidget that has the layout and behavior you want and use that as the central widget. Just because a QDockWidget -looks- like something you could use, and just because you -can- add a layout directly to QMainWindow doesn't mean it is going to behave as you wish (but seem unwilling to accept).Quote:

I got it. I thought that this 'hack' would be efficient, but as you're saying, the QDockWidget will not work as a expect. Would you know how I could implement the dragging movement from scratch then?
