QDockWidget -> Reset all

[pl01]

Hi,

I have several QDockWidgets in my app. But I have closed one of them !

Now, when I restore the state it does not appear. The problem is that I don't know how to reset my layout and force to redisplay the docking widget !

Do you have an idea ?

I have a reset all feature in my application to, among other things, address the kind of problem you came across. Here is what I currently use:

if( QMessageBox::question(this, qApp->applicationName(),
                              tr("You are about to reset <strong>all</strong> of your user settings. Are you sure that this is what you want?"),
                              QMessageBox::Yes|QMessageBox::No,
                              QMessageBox::Yes) == QMessageBox::Yes ) {
        // Clear all the user settings and restart <APP> (indeed, a restart
        // will ensure that the various dock windows are, for instance, properly
        // reset with regards to their dimensions)
 
        QSettings(qApp->applicationName()).clear();
 
        // Restart <APP>, but without providing any of the argument with which
        // <APP> was originally started, since we indeed want to reset
        // everything
 
        QProcess::startDetached(qApp->applicationFilePath(), QStringList(),
                                qApp->applicationDirPath());
 
        // Quit <APP>
        // Note: the closeEvent method won't get called and this is exactly what
        //       we want, since we don't want to save <APP>'s settings
 
        qApp->quit();
    }

if( QMessageBox::question(this, qApp->applicationName(),
                              tr("You are about to reset <strong>all</strong> of your user settings. Are you sure that this is what you want?"),
                              QMessageBox::Yes|QMessageBox::No,
                              QMessageBox::Yes) == QMessageBox::Yes ) {
        // Clear all the user settings and restart <APP> (indeed, a restart
        // will ensure that the various dock windows are, for instance, properly
        // reset with regards to their dimensions)

        QSettings(qApp->applicationName()).clear();

        // Restart <APP>, but without providing any of the argument with which
        // <APP> was originally started, since we indeed want to reset
        // everything

        QProcess::startDetached(qApp->applicationFilePath(), QStringList(),
                                qApp->applicationDirPath());

        // Quit <APP>
        // Note: the closeEvent method won't get called and this is exactly what
        //       we want, since we don't want to save <APP>'s settings

        qApp->quit();
    }

Thanks,

The problem is that I don't want to restart the application !

If I do this :

addDockWidget(static_cast<Qt:ockWidgetArea>(1), ui.dockWidget_left);
ui.dockWidget_left->raise();
ui.dockWidget_right->setFloating(false);
ui.dockWidget_left->show();

Everything works... I only redisplay them as docked at the default place.

Thanks for your help
