App with only dockwidgets and no central widget
Message 1 in thread
Is it piossible to create an application with only dockwidget and no central
widget? I like the use of dockwidgets and all the automatic resizing, tabbing
etc. goodness of the dockwidgets. But since all my widgets are now in
dockwidgets, i have n need for a central widget. The problem here is that
dockwidgets only dock to the edges of the screen. The bigger issue is that
there is no resizing of the dockwidgets to fill the central area of the
window.

Yes you can, set the central widget to NULL (or rather just don't set
it at all) and use QMainWindow->setDockNestingEnabled(true) to enable
nesting of docks. That means you're not limited to one row / column of
docks on each edge of the window anymore.
There are a few bugs that show up sometimes, but aside from that this
method seems to work great here.

It is currently implemented without setting a central widget. However, what
happens now is that the dock widgets do not default to filling this central
space. I need to resize them so that they fill the space. They remember their
size on next start so is it is not much of an issue as i only need to setup
the UI on first launch.
