Ctrl key to allow user to stop docking a window

[irudkin]

Hi

We are converting an application from Qt3.3.6 to Qt4.3. In our 'old' version we have docking windows. The user can as described in the Qt3.x documentation select, move and then dock a window to the top, bottom, left and right of the QMainWindow. However if the user moves a window and chooses not to dock the window because it is in proximitty of being docked, they can hold down the keyboard's ctrl key to stop docking functionality and allow the window to float when released. I cannot find this feature in the documention of Qt3.3.x Assistant, but we do have this capability and we did not have to implement it.

Now we have converted to Qt4 we have lost the ability to move a floating window and Ctrl key stop it from being docked. Does it exist in Qt4.3? If so then how do you enable it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi All

This feature should still be available. Trolltech have confirmed it is a bug in Qt4.3.0 and is currentlly being looked into.

Yes, it is really a very annoying bug. Nothing more frustrating than trying to move a floating window only to have it keep trying to dock.

Anxiously waiting for a fix.
