QDockWidget: Check tabified visibility?

Hi.

Obviously, a dock widget can have different states when it is visible:

• floating
• docked
• tabified

Unfortunately I see no possibility to check the visibility if the dock widget is tabified. Any ideas?

Hi, see QMainWindow::tabifiedDockWidgets().

You can use something like this

The trick with "visibilityChanged" does not work, because it will be emitted if you just browse the tabs. I mean, all tabified docks are visible to me.

"tabifiedDockWidgets" seems not helpful to me because it needs a parameter from which I want to know if it is tabified or not. Well I could iterate over all dock widgets and so on...

Then I don't get you. What exactly do you want achieve?

Code:

---

QDockWidget *myDock = //...
if (tabifiedDockWidgets(myDock).isEmpty())
  // myDock is not tabbed
else
  // myDock is tabbed

Hi.

Ups. :) I could make two operations: check visibility and check if it is tabified with other widgets. I will try this.

I restore the main window state from the registry and want to check some toolbuttons according to the dock widgets' visibility.

Edit: Thanks! It worked. =) Here the pattern I used now:

Code:

---

...
restoreState(settings.value("windowState").toByteArray());
 
toolBtn1->setChecked(dock1->isVisible() || !tabifiedDockWidgets(dock1).isEmpty());
toolBtn2->setChecked(dock2->isVisible() || !tabifiedDockWidgets(dock2).isEmpty());
toolBtn3->setChecked(dock3->isVisible() || !tabifiedDockWidgets(dock3).isEmpty());
...

Wow! The solution is quite simple. I have no idea why I didn't get that by myself. :D
