It occurs to me that one way of doing it would be to get all the 'Docks'
that a given 'QMainWindow' has and then before adding a new one, I could do
the following:
# Creates second bottom Dock
self.bottom_dock_02 = QDockWidget("Second Bottom Dock", self)
self.bottom_dock_02.setObjectName('bottom_dock_02')
self.bottom_dock_02.setAllowedAreas(Qt.BottomDockWidgetArea)
self.widget_second_dock = QWidget(self.bottom_dock_02)
self.widget_second_dock.setFixedHeight(150)
self.bottom_dock_02.setWidget(self.widget_second_dock)
self.addDockWidget(Qt.BottomDockWidgetArea, self.bottom_dock_02)
existing_widget = None
for current_dock in self.findChildren(QDockWidget):
if self.dockWidgetArea(current_dock) == Qt.BottomDockWidgetArea:
existing_widget = current_dock
break
if existing_widget:
self.tabifyDockWidget(self.bottom_dock_02,current_dock)
Does that sound like a good way of doing it? If so, I have a couple of
questions more:
- Is it possible to change the order in which the items have been
stacked? I'd like the user to be able to re-arrange them if they want to do
so.
Many thanks
