Multiple tabbed QDockWidget and default selection

[ansif]

thanks srazi.. your solution is great....

It does not work for me.
firstTab->raise() has no effect. Any ideas?

I'm also having an issue with this. I would appreciate any advice on being able to set the current tabbed dockwidget.

Call QWidget::raise() on the dock widget you want on top. There's not much more to it than that.

#include <QtGui>

    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MainWindow(QWidget *p = 0): QMainWindow(p) {
        setCentralWidget(new QTextEdit(this));
 
        dock1 = new QDockWidget("Dock1", this);
        dock1->setWidget(new QLabel("Dock 1 content", this));
        addDockWidget(Qt::RightDockWidgetArea, dock1);
        dock2 = new QDockWidget("Dock2", this);
        dock2->setWidget(new QLabel("Dock 2 content", this));
        addDockWidget(Qt::RightDockWidgetArea, dock2);
        tabifyDockWidget(dock1, dock2); 
 
        flop = true;
        connect(&timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), SLOT(flip()));
        timer.start(2000);
    }
public slots:
    void flip() {
        if (flop)
           dock1->raise();
        else
            dock2->raise();
        flop = !flop;
    }
 
private:
    QDockWidget *dock1;
    QDockWidget *dock2;
    QTimer timer;
    bool flop;
};
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
