Detailed Description

The DockWidget base-class. DockWidget and DockWidgetBase are only split in two so we can share some code with the QtQuick implementation, which also derives from DockWidgetBase.

Do not use instantiate directly in user code. Use DockWidget instead.

◆ Option

enum KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetBase::Option

DockWidget options to pass at construction time.

Enumerator
Option_None	No option, the default.
Option_NotClosable	The DockWidget can't be closed on the [x], only programmatically.
Option_NotDockable	The DockWidget can't be docked, it's always floating.
Option_DeleteOnClose	Deletes the DockWidget when closed.
Option_MDINestable	EXPERIMENTAL. When this dock widget is being shown in a MDI area it will also allow other dock widgets to be dropped to its sides and tabbed Usually Each MDI "window" corresponds to one DockWidget, with this option each "window" will have a layout with 1 or more dock widgets Run "kddockwidgets_mdi_with_docking_example -n" to see it in action

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ DockWidgetBase()

DockWidgetBase::DockWidgetBase	(	const QString &	uniqueName,
		Options	options = `KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetBase::Options()`,
		LayoutSaverOptions	layoutSaverOptions = `KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetBase::LayoutSaverOptions()`
	)

explicit

constructs a new DockWidget

Parameters

uniqueName	the name of the dockwidget, should be unique. Use title for user visible text.
options	the options controlling certain behaviours
layoutSaverOptions	the options to control save/restore

There's no parent argument. The DockWidget is either parented to FloatingWindow or MainWindow when visible, or stays without a parent when hidden.

signal

Emitted when this dock widget is about to be deleted due to Option_DeleteOnClose.

◆ actualTitleBarChanged

void KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetBase::actualTitleBarChanged ( )

◆ addDockWidgetAsTab()

void DockWidgetBase::addDockWidgetAsTab	(	KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetBase *	other,

docks other widget into this one. Tabs will be shown if not already.

Parameters

other	The other dock widget to dock into this one.
initialOption	Allows to specify an InitialOption. Which is useful to add the dock widget as hidden, recording only a placeholder in the tab. So it's restored to tabbed when eventually shown.

◆ hasPreviousDockedLocation()

◆ isMainWindow()

bool DockWidgetBase::isMainWindow ( ) const

Returns whether widget() is a KDDockWidget::MainWindow.

This function doesn't have anything to do with this dock widget being inside a main window or not, but rather the inverse concept. It's not a very popular usage, but some applications want to dock a main window into another main window. This is done by putting it into a dock widget first.

Technically a docked DockWidget always lives in a tab widget, but from the user's perspective it's not tabbed when there's only 1 dock widget, as there are no tabs displayed.

This means:

This only applies if the dock widget is already open. If closed, does nothing.

◆ setAffinities()

void DockWidgetBase::setAffinities ( const QStringList & affinityNames )

Sets the affinity names. Dock widgets can only dock into dock widgets of the same affinity.

By default the affinity is empty and a dock widget can dock into any main window and into any floating window. Usually you won't ever need to call this function, unless you have requirements where certain dock widgets can only dock into certain other dock widgets and main windows.

See also: MainWindowBase::setAffinities().

Note: Call this function right after creating your dock widget, before adding to a main window and before restoring any layout.

Note: Currently you can only call this function once, to keep the code simple and avoid edge cases. This will only be changed if a good use case comes up that requires changing affinities multiple times.

◆ windowActiveAboutToChange

void KDDockWidgets::DockWidgetBase::windowActiveAboutToChange ( bool activated )

signal

Emitted when the top-level window this dock widget is in is activated or deactivated This is convenience to replace tracking dockWidget->window(), since the window changes when docking and undocking.

It's called 'aboutTo' because it's done in an event filter and the target window doesn't have it's 'activeWindow' property updated yet at this point.
