advanced split widget

[vitaly]

Hi

I need the widget like in the attached picture. It consists of some child widgets (like dock widgets of dock area) but they haven't been undocked. The split configuration is set with use of some methods and user haven't an ability to change this configuration. User may hide some child widgets by pressing on 'X' button and maximize particular child widget by pressing 'M' (other widgets will be hidden). The ability to show hidden (iconified) widgets should be provided.

QDockArea is not the case because it manages widgets only whether horizontally or vertically but not in the grid, isn't it?

The desired use of the class:

SmarlSplitWidget container;
 
// Add a widget at 0 row and 0 col like in QGridLayout.
container.addWidget( 
        new QWidget(container),   // pointer to widget
        "First",                            // label
        0,                                   // row 0 (like in QGridLayout)
        0);                                  // column 0
 
container.addWidget( new QWidget(container), "Second", 1, 0);
container.addMultiCellWidget( new QWidget(container), "Fourth", 0, 1, 1, 1);
container.addMultiCellWidget( new QWidget(container), "Third",  2, 2, 0, 1);

SmarlSplitWidget container;

// Add a widget at 0 row and 0 col like in QGridLayout.
container.addWidget( 
        new QWidget(container),   // pointer to widget
        "First",                            // label
        0,                                   // row 0 (like in QGridLayout)
        0);                                  // column 0

container.addWidget( new QWidget(container), "Second", 1, 0);
container.addMultiCellWidget( new QWidget(container), "Fourth", 0, 1, 1, 1);
container.addMultiCellWidget( new QWidget(container), "Third",  2, 2, 0, 1);

Is anybody may help to find the widget like this?

Thanks,
