Yes - it's a widget like any other. Phil ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

We do it here at work - embedding a QMainWindow as a tab in a QTabWidget. In our case, the MainWindow is sometimes kept separate, so it needs a menu and status bar, but others a tab view is easier to use. ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

Start digging into Qt's QMainWindow code. It might be easier, then it appears to be? Converting sane C++ code to Python is pretty straight forward.

You can, but that requires writing a layout-manager similar to the one used in QMainWindow (which is not public API so cannot simply be used). So there's no 'out of the box' way to dock QDockWidgets into normal QWidgets, but if you put in enough effort you can do that.

[PyQt] Can DockWidgets be docked onto anything else except MainWindows?
Can DockWidgets be docked onto anything else except MainWindows ? Supposed you have either a layout or a widget that's "mid-page" in a window and want to dock/undock from that layout/widget and not the MainWindow... Doesn't look to be possible,...Can anyone confirm this?
