Hi all,
I need to set up some "tabbed tool space", as in the latest Adobe InDesign :
- a "tabbed space" is stucked on a side of the workspace.
On the Mac, it is stucked on the side of the screen itself. On Windows &
Linux, it is stucked on the side of the main window of the application.
- a "tabbed space" is made of various QWidget. A tab bar is provided to
switch between the various QWidget, and to close/open the "tabbed space"
- unlike a docking area, a "tabbed space" does not occupy the whole side on
which it is placed
- the tab bar is transparent ; one can only see the tab buttons themselves.
The enclosed picture shows the "tabbed space" of Adobe InDesign on the Mac.
On Windows & Linux, the "tabbed space" should be placed within the
QWorskpace.
How should I process to fulfill these requirements with Qt ?
I've tried quite a lot, without success.
The best I have done on Linux is : creating a QWidget as a child of the
QWorkspace :
MyWidget * child = new MyWidget;
child->setParent(workspace);
This create a stucked and frameless window in the workspace.
Though, other windows added to the QWorkspace (through
"workspace->addWindow") are drawn above my "tabbed space" widget. I didn' t
succeed in having an "AlwaysOnTop" "tabbed space" widget.
Here are more detailed questions :
- I tried to create a frameless window (or a window without the blue system
menu bar) in a QWorkspace (with the QtFlags) but it didn't worked. Is it
possible to create such a window ?
- Is it possible to have a transparent QMainWindow ? I tried to redefine the
QPalette
QPalette p = palette();
p.setBrush(QPalette::Window, QColor(255, 255, 255, 0));
setPalette(p);
It worked for the window in the QWorkspace but it didn't for a QMainWindow
(weird refresh issues) ...
- Does anyone knows an InDesign-like open-source application made with Qt ?
Thanks in advance.Attachment:

I doubt QTabBar will do the trick Cheers, Ben -- [ signature omitted ]
