Advanced Docking System

Manages content widgets a lot 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.

Requirements (Tested!)

Windows

• >= Qt 5.5
• VC12 or MinGW (-std=c++11)

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)
• [DONE] Serialize and Deserialize state/size/positions of dockings
• Serialize FloatingWidget states
• [90%] Make compatible with Qt 4.5 (*ROFL!*)
• 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

• [DONE] Working with outer-edge-drops sometimes leaves empty splitters
• [DONE] Clean up of unused e.g. count()<=1 QSplitters doesn't work well

Not sure yet... It's in development status anyway.
