Detailed Description

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

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

		KDDockWidgets::Core::DockWidget *	relativeTo = `nullptr`,
		const KDDockWidgets::InitialOption &	initialOption = `{}`
	)

Docks a DockWidget into this main window.

Parameters

dockWidget	The dock widget to add into this MainWindow
location	the location where to dock
relativeTo	In case we're docking in relation to another dock widget
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.

◆ setAffinities()

void KDDockWidgets::Core::MainWindow::setAffinities ( const Vector< QString > & names )

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

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

See also: Core::DockWidget::setAffinities().

Note: Call this function right after creating your main window, before docking any dock widgets into 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.
