QDockWidget + QTabBar, but tabs don't move

[NIteLordz]

I'm working on Windows 8.1. so on windows xp you are able to get the two dockwidgets to tabify, and set movable, and have them move? sorry, am confused but your two paragraphs, as the dockwidgets create a dynamic tab bar.

thanks much for input though

I don't tabify them through code, I drag one dock on top of the other, while the program is running, and drop it. They become tabified.
In my subclassed dock widget I have a slot receiving its own signal topLevelChanged( bool topLevel ), and in this slot I identify the tab bar that is now holding this dock widget and set its setMovable( true ).

With this the tabs are movable with the mouse, but they crash the program consistently. I don't think it's something possible to have.
Toon Boom, a commercial, industry standard animation software that uses Qt has detachable dock tabs but not movable tabs.

My next phase is to subclass the dock widget. I want to get rid of the title bar ugliness and have tabs displayed fulltime, ala unity editor.

Could u post the snippet you're using for the top level, am curious, and without having code in front of me at the moment, its bugging me lol.

Thanks much

Do you need this with urgency? I want to finish this detachable dock tab behaviour, and if it actually works, I'll pack it in an example project and share around here for others like me that are looking for this functionality.

Definitely not an urgent matter. Let me know if I can help in anyway.
