Docking Flexibility

[venkateshhegde]

Hello,

I wanted to create window frame like Outlook using QT with Dock Options. like this:
Outlook.png

But Docking widgets seem to allow only this:

Is there any solution? I saw eclipse's (my IDE)Docking capabilities which uses SWT and it is amazing!

In the above example, I am unable to dock the bottom window against the docked window. The bottom window is docked only with the Main window...

Can we do the outlook style in QT?

Maybe i didn't get your problem right, but doesn't this example do what you want?

This is the standard example that comes with QT. The problem is I cannot dock the Central Widget here. If the central widget was dockable in the example that you have given, then the bottom widget would have Spanned the entire column.

Found the answer !

It is the usage of overloaded function addWidget that lets you put Orientation as the third parameter.
