customizing QDockWidget

[walden02]

Hello all,

I am trying to create a customized QDockWidget. I have tried to inherit the class and for some reason I lose two critical properties (dockWidgetArea and docked). Without these two properties I cannot dock the widget. I intentionally remove all my customizations in my extended class and I still cannot regain these two properties.

any ideas?

here are 2 snapshots - notice that on my extended class, the last two properties (dockWidgetArea and docked are not available).
