Put a QMainWindow in a QDockWidget
Message 1 in thread
Hi Everyone,
I use QT 4.2.3 as my application GUI toolkit. But I would like
to create a QMainWindow inside a QDockWidget. Of course,
this QDockWidget belongs to the top main window of my application.
But I worried about the QT limitation. So I checked the document
but found nothing about this topic.
So I wrote source code as below. I skipped the top main window part.
Whe I run it, the dock widget created normally. But I can not see my
data inside the tableView.
Could anybody help me out ?
Regards,
Pagan
QDockWidget* m_pDockWidget = new QDockWidget(parent);
m_pDockWidget->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("m_pDockWidget"));
dockWidgetContents = new QWidget(m_pDockWidget);
dockWidgetContents->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("dockWidgetContents"));
vboxLayout1 = new QVBoxLayout(dockWidgetContents);
vboxLayout1->setSpacing(1);
vboxLayout1->setMargin(1);
vboxLayout1->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("vboxLayout1"));
QMainWindow* window = new QMainWindow(dockWidgetContents);
window->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("window"));
QWidget* centralwidget = new QWidget(window);
centralwidget->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("centralwidget"));
QVBoxLayout* vboxLayout = new QVBoxLayout(centralwidget);
vboxLayout->setSpacing(6);
vboxLayout->setMargin(9);
vboxLayout->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("vboxLayout"));
QTableView* resTableView = new QTableView(centralwidget);
resTableView->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("resTableView"));
vboxLayout->addWidget(resTableView);
window->setCentralWidget(centralwidget);
QMenuBar* menubar = new QMenuBar(window);
menubar->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("menubar"));
menubar->setGeometry(QRect(0, 0, 800, 22));
window->setMenuBar(menubar);
QStatusBar* statusbar = new QStatusBar(window);
statusbar->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("statusbar"));
window->setStatusBar(statusbar);
QSize winSize(300, 300);
winSize = winSize.expandedTo(window->minimumSizeHint());
window->resize(winSize);
vboxLayout1->addWidget(window);
m_pDockWidget->setWidget(dockWidgetContents);
if (NULL!=parent)

m_pDockWidget->setWindowTitle("Test");

I've seen this type of problem before with QMainWindow. QMainWindow sets its
window type to Qt::Window so that it will be in an independent window even
if it has a parent (you can confirm this by calling show() on your
QMainWindow, and you will see it in its own window). Try adding the line
window->setWindowFlags(Qt::Widget);
after you construct the QMainWindow.

I tried what Tom told me and it works !!
I added this line :
window->setWindowFlags(Qt::Widget);
But I can not see the menu and toolbar in the dock widget. Is this the QT
spec ?

For the menu, why are you creating your own instead of using
QMainWindow::menuBar() (although this shouldn't cause a problem), and why
are you calling setGeometry() on the menu bar? I didn't see where you added
toolbars to the QMainWindow, so I can't answer why they aren't there.

Sometimes, you need a window->show() in there.
If it doesn't work, it might help to make a limited sample (without all the
layout stuff and so on, just a main widget with a button or label on there),
and build it up from there.
Does a non-QMainWindow work in your example?

Just out of interest, why do you need to use a QMainWindow object instead
of, say, a QWidget inside a QDockWidget? What features of QMainWindow do
you need to make available to your dock window?

David,
I want to use QMainWindow inside a QDockWidget is for its menu bar and
toolbar.
According to my memory, only QMainWindow can have menu bar and toolbar.
Doesn't it ?

No, you can add a toolbar or menu bar to any QWidget, though it probably
needs some extra code to make the toolbar floatable or moveable. But
adding both of them to a layout works just fine.

According to the documentation
(http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qmenubar.html) you can construct
menubars and put them in top-level (parent == NULL) widgets. I don't
know if it works on child widgets though (which is what it sounds like
you need to do). It doesn't work on OS X (where there is only the
system menu bar), but Windows or X might let you do it.
