QDockWidget and icons

**Patze** · 16th January 2009, 12:51

Hi everybody

is there a way to add icons to the tabs of nested dock widgets. I'm looking for something like setTabIcon(...) but for QDockWidgets. setWindowIcon seems to do nothing at all.

I don't think it's supported feature by QDockWidget, but perhaps you can do the customization trick with style sheets.

I've been trying to do this, with no success...

The problem is that a QDockWidget looses it's objectname when it's docked.
Because it's no longer a QDockWidget, but a tab in a QTabBar.

I've set a stylesheet on the dockwidget, but it's ignored.

Anyone tried to set icons for the tabs of docked dockwidgets?

I've seen that a QTabBar doesn't have any function for getting a particular tab by name or object, only by index?

If you need more information, yell.
