Updates SectionContent API: Its only possible to use it as shared pointer (RefPtr), Copies not possible. Handle missing or too many content references in restore procecure.
Advanced Docking System
Manages content widgets more like Visual Studio or similar programs. I also try to get everything done with basic Qt functionality. Basic usage of QWidgets an QLayouts and using basic styles as much as possible.
Tested with - Requirements
Windows
- >= Qt 5.5, VC12 or MinGW
- >= Qt 4.5.3 VC9 - not as good...
Linux
- Not yet tested
Build
Open the build.pro with QtCreator and start the build, that's it.
Notes
- SectionContent class may safe a "size-type" property, which defines how the size of the widget should be handled.
- PerCent: Resize in proportion to other widgets.
- Fixed: Width or height are fixed (based on orientation).
TODOs
Sorted by priority
- Improve FloatingWidget (Remove maximize button, only support close-button which hides the widget)
- Serialize and Deserialize state/size/positions of dockings
- Make compatible with Qt 4.5 (*ROFL!*)
- Save and restore FloatingWidget states
- Restore: Manage new or deleted SectionContent objects, which are not available
- Show close button on right corner of SectionWidget
- Drop indicator images should be fully visible over the DropOverlay rectangle
- Pin contents: Pins a content and its title widget to the edge and opens on click/hover as long as it has focus
Bugs
- Working with outer-edge-drops sometimes leaves empty splitters
- Clean up of unused e.g. count()<=1 QSplitters doesn't work well
- Empty splitters, if only 2 or 1 items are in container
