Thanks for the link. I was able to get it working by placing all the widgets in the dock widget into a container frame placed in a vertical layout. That part done in Designer. Then in the application I place the custom lable widget with reimplimented sizeHint function at the bottom as a blank field so it just serves as a spacer with 0 height.
