Thanks Justin. I didn't realize that I could use that same method!
I have a couple of questions:
- Do you know if there is a way to get the results of
*self.findChildren(QtGui.QDockWidget)
*in order of visual appearance? I'm not sure what's defining the order
in which they appear but they seem to be different every tme that I select
one of the Docks. Ideally, I'd like to get *the current Dock* and know
which docks I have *to each side* to determine if I can/should use
*self.tabifyDocWidget()*.
- When I right click on the title of a *Dock*, it triggers a menu. This
menu is also shared with toolbars to define what's visible and whatnot.
Ideally I want to have different menus depending on which is the item in
which I right click. I've been able to get rid of the menu by using the
following in my *QMainWindow*:
def createPopupMenu(self):
pass
Does that mean that I will need to overload this method, check what's under
the cursor and depending on that, create the menu? Or is there another way
to do this?
Thanks in advance
