Update GUI

[ChrisW67]

Layouts will not allow overlapping widgets, which is what seems to be happening with your progress bar. Can you show the code that constructs the dock widget layout?

void MainView::createDock() {
    DEBUGME;
    lb_dockIcon = new QLabel;
    lb_dockIcon->setMaximumHeight(60);
    lb_dockIcon->setMinimumHeight(60);
 
    lb_dockIcon->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    lb_dockLabel = new QLabel;
    lb_dockLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
 
    _dockTabs = new QTabWidget;
 
    _dockMainWidgetLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
 
    _dockMainWidget = new QWidget;
    _dockMainWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Expanding);
    _dockMainWidget->setLayout(_dockMainWidgetLayout);
 
    _dockWidget = new QDockWidget;
    _dockWidget->setContentsMargins(5,0,5,0);
    _dockWidget->setWidget(_dockMainWidget);
 
    connect(_dockWidget, SIGNAL(visibilityChanged(bool)), this, SLOT(showDock(bool)));
 
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->addWidget(lb_dockIcon, Qt::AlignCenter);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->addWidget(lb_dockLabel);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->addWidget(_dockTabs);
 
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->setStretchFactor(lb_dockIcon,0);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->setStretchFactor(lb_dockLabel,0);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->setStretchFactor(_dockTabs,1);
 
}

void MainView::createDock() {
    DEBUGME;
    lb_dockIcon = new QLabel;
    lb_dockIcon->setMaximumHeight(60);
    lb_dockIcon->setMinimumHeight(60);
    
    lb_dockIcon->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    lb_dockLabel = new QLabel;
    lb_dockLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    
    _dockTabs = new QTabWidget;
    
    _dockMainWidgetLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    
    _dockMainWidget = new QWidget;
    _dockMainWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Expanding);
    _dockMainWidget->setLayout(_dockMainWidgetLayout);
    
    _dockWidget = new QDockWidget;
    _dockWidget->setContentsMargins(5,0,5,0);
    _dockWidget->setWidget(_dockMainWidget);
    
    connect(_dockWidget, SIGNAL(visibilityChanged(bool)), this, SLOT(showDock(bool)));
    
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->addWidget(lb_dockIcon, Qt::AlignCenter);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->addWidget(lb_dockLabel);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->addWidget(_dockTabs);
    
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->setStretchFactor(lb_dockIcon,0);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->setStretchFactor(lb_dockLabel,0);
    _dockMainWidgetLayout->setStretchFactor(_dockTabs,1);
    
}

and this is how I call it to print different data again

void MainView::setDockData(IFile *file, bool) {
 
    DEBUGME;
 
    QPixmap icon(file->FilePixmap());
 
    lb_dockIcon->setPixmap(icon);
    lb_dockIcon->updateGeometry();
 
    QString name = file->FileName();
    FileWidget::wordWrap(name, 100, 25);
    lb_dockLabel->setText(name);
    lb_dockLabel->updateGeometry();
 
    _dockTabs->clear();
    _dockTabs->show();
 
    DockVersions *versions = new DockVersions(this, file);
 
    DockAddIn *addIn = new DockAddIn(this, file);
    connect(addIn, SIGNAL(setDockTabTitle(int, QString)), this, SLOT(setDockTabTitle(int, QString)));
 
    for(int i = 0;i < _dockTabs->count();i++) {
        _dockTabs->removeTab(i);
    }
 
    _dockTabs->addTab(addIn, addIn->windowTitle());
    _dockTabs->addTab(versions, versions->windowTitle());
 
    versions->display();
    addIn->display();
 
 
}

void MainView::setDockData(IFile *file, bool) {
    
    DEBUGME;
    
    QPixmap icon(file->FilePixmap());
    
    lb_dockIcon->setPixmap(icon);
    lb_dockIcon->updateGeometry();
        
    QString name = file->FileName();
    FileWidget::wordWrap(name, 100, 25);
    lb_dockLabel->setText(name);
    lb_dockLabel->updateGeometry();

    _dockTabs->clear();
    _dockTabs->show();
    
    DockVersions *versions = new DockVersions(this, file);

    DockAddIn *addIn = new DockAddIn(this, file);
    connect(addIn, SIGNAL(setDockTabTitle(int, QString)), this, SLOT(setDockTabTitle(int, QString)));
        
    for(int i = 0;i < _dockTabs->count();i++) {
        _dockTabs->removeTab(i);
    }
    
    _dockTabs->addTab(addIn, addIn->windowTitle());
    _dockTabs->addTab(versions, versions->windowTitle());

    versions->display();
    addIn->display();

    
}

any ideas ??

You have not applied a layout to _dockWidget, only to to the dockMainWidget widget you place inside it.
