advanced split widget

I'll implement it in some time and will post it. But what do you think, may this widget be really usable? Is there any storage for Qt-based C++ classes exist like CPAN for perl? I've looked at Qt store. This store has so few classes now.

I really don't know. It's usable for you, so I guess it's usable

We've been planing to make such a catalog here, but someone has to fill it with content. There is no point in making such thing if there are only 2-3 things to put there.

Is there any "content" available? Since you've been around the qt community much more than most of us, are there any contributed widgets, classes, whatever, or even the will to provide some?

Sure, there are Qt Widgets for Technical Applications, Johan's JSeries or mine wwWidgets and more.

Some of them are listed on Johan's widget gallery.

If you have widgets you'd like to share with Qt Community, you can send them to me and I'll put them into the widget repository when we decide to make one.

I found KDCloseableWidget in KD Tools pack of ICS (http://www.ics.com) but I didn't find any documentation related to this class. Only the datasheet with common information is available. Is anybody know does this class support multiple widgets with splitting and restoring ones from hidden state? Lot of thanks for your previous replies. The common store for Qt code is really needed for the community!

It will be fine if there will be a place where all known Qt related links will be stored in the structured way. Qt center may be a good place for it.

I implemented the first version of grid split widget. This widget I implemented at home at free time. I haven't lots of time to fully done this work. So this version has many additional features whose I'll implement later. The current version supports closing and maximizing of widgets.

If you desire to help develop this widget, please, contact with me or upload your patches or versions into this site. I will upload newest versions as soon as I find free time for improvement.

TODO (I plan to do this later):

1. Make setting of margins of widgets in the splitters.
2. Fix initial size of child widgets.
3. Make icons.
4. Improve restore of widgets.
5. Optimize it.

I will appreciate any bugreport or feedback about this widget.
