customizing QDockWidget

[walden02]

Hello all,

I am trying to create a customized QDockWidget. I have tried to inherit the class and for some reason I lose two critical properties (dockWidgetArea and docked). Without these two properties I cannot dock the widget. I intentionally remove all my customizations in my extended class and I still cannot regain these two properties.

any ideas?

here are 2 snapshots - notice that on my extended class, the last two properties (dockWidgetArea and docked are not available).

Unfortunately some things are hardcoded in Qt Designer and some class names are checked literally so if you subclass QDockWidget, it is not being treated as a dock widget anymore by Designer. But the real question is - why do you want to subclass QDockWidget?
