    Red face QDockWidget closing detection

    Hi. I want to use a QDockWidget in my QMainWindows application. I have a menu whose actions show the QDockWidget into the main GUI, when an action is checked, the wiget is shown and when it's unchecked the widget is hidden. I want to keep synchronization between the widget's visibility state and the check/uncheck action of the menu so that when an user clicks onto the QDockWidget's close button, the action is unchecked; but so far, I have not been able to find any signal fired by a QDockWidget in order to detect that is hiding its GUI, and so I can execute a slot that unchecks the action in the menu.

    QDockedWidget::toogleViewAction () returns a pointer that I haven't been able to repoint to an uic generated action. Do I have to add this pointer to the menu manually? or is there any other way to avoid manually overwritting the uic generated code?.

    Yes, you have to manually add it to the menu. Or semimanually - you can query for all dock widgets, their toggle actions and add them to some menu, for instance like so:

    Qt Code:
    1. XX::XX(...) : QMainWindow(...){
    2. //...
    3. QList<QDockWidget*> docs = qFindChildren<QDockWidget*>(this, QString::null);
    4. foreach(QDockWidget *dck, docs){
    5. QAction *act = dck->toggleViewAction();
    6. someMenu->addAction(act);
    7. }
    8. }
