# 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 Compatible Environments
|
|
- Windows 10 / Qt 5.5.1 / VC12
|
|
- Windows 10 / Qt 5.5.1 / MinGW
|
|
- Windows 10 / Qt 4.5.3 / VC9
|
|
- Ubuntu 15.10
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
Open the `build.pro` with QtCreator and start the build, that's it.
|
|
You can run the demo project and test it yourself.
|
|
|
|
## Release & Development
|
|
The `master` branch is not guaranteed to be stable or does not even build, since it is the main working branch.
|
|
If you want a version that builds, you should always use a release/beta tag.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started / Example
|
|
|
|
_MyWindow.h_
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include <QMainWindow>
|
|
#include "ads/API.h"
|
|
#include "ads/ContainerWidget.h"
|
|
#include "ads/SectionContent.h"
|
|
class MyWindow : public QMainWindow
|
|
{
|
|
Q_OBJECT
|
|
public:
|
|
QMainWindow(QWidget* parent);
|
|
|
|
private:
|
|
ADS_NS::ContainerWidget _container;
|
|
};
|
|
```

## ToDo List & Changelog
|
|
Items sorted by priority
|
|
|
|
### Beta 0.2
|
|
- [ ] Use scrolling for SectionWidget tabs?
|
|
- [ ] It would be easier when the SectionTitleWidget and SectionContentWidget are created inside the "SectionContent::newSectionContent(..)" method.
|
|
This would make sure, that those two objects always exists.
|
|
- [ ] `ContainerWidget::showSectionContent` needs to insert the SC at the correct preferred position of SW
|
|
- [ ] It should be possible to drop a floating widget directly into the SW's tab-bar.
|
|
- [ ] Empty splitters, if only 2 or 1 items are in container
|
|
- [ ] Restore: Handle out-of-screen geometry for floating widgets
|
|
- [ ] Better handling of sizes when dropping contents. Currently it's unpredictable.
|
|
It might be good to use the same width/height as the parent content, if dropped on existing content.
|
|
In case of outer-drop we might use the preferred size of the content.
|
|
- [ ] Floating widget should be a real window with all of its functionality (maximize and split by moving it to the edge of the screen)
|
|
- [ ] Dropping floating-widgets on the edge should be possible even if there is no margin/padding.
|
|
|
|
### Beta 0.1
|
|
- [x] Improve FloatingWidget (Remove maximize button, only support close-button which hides the widget)
|
|
- [x] Serialize and Deserialize state/size/positions of dockings
|
|
- [x] Make compatible with Qt 4.5 (\*ROFL!\*)
|
|
- [x] Save and restore FloatingWidget states
|
|
- [x] Restore: Manage new or deleted SectionContent objects, which are not available
|
|
- [x] Working with outer-edge-drops sometimes leaves empty splitters #BUG
|
|
- [x] Clean up of unused e.g. count()<=1 QSplitters doesn't work well #BUG
|
|
- [x] Show close button on right corner of SectionWidget. How to safe last section position?
|
|
- [x] Serialize state of `_hiddenSectionContents`
|
|
- [x] Add "title" to SectionContent object, which will be used in visible areas to display contents name.
|
|
- [x] It should be possible to catch the "activeTabChanged" signal for EXTERN_API users
|
|
- [x] Add API function to set an SC as active-tab
|
|
- [x] Move all lookup maps into ContainterWidget as non-static members, otherwise we can not have the same SC name inside another ContainerWidget instance.
|
|
The uniqueness of a SectionContainer needs to be restricted to its parent ContainerWidget, not global!
|
|
|
|
### Some day...
|
|
- [ ] 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
|
|
- [ ] API: Make it possible to use custom drop images
|
|
- [ ] API: Add possibility to make a SectionContent element floatable (`ContainerWidget::setFloating(SectionContent*)`?)
|
|
|
|
## 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).
|
|
|
|
### Handle content drops (Sizing)
|
|
- Case: Dropping A to the bottom or top of B (vertical split):
|
|
- A will use the width of B
|
|
- A will use it's own height, if it is not greater than the half height of B. Otherwise it will use the half height of B.
|
|
- Case: Dropping A to the left or right of B (horizontal split)
|
|
- ... Same as before, but swap the words "height" with "width" :-)
|
|
|
|
- Case: Dropping A to the outer top or bottom edge (full vertical split):
|
|
- A will use the full width of the container
|
|
- A will use it's own height, if it is not greater than the half height of the entire container. Otherwise it will use the half height of the container.
|
|
- Case: Dropping A to the outer left or right edge (full horizontal split):
|
|
- ... Same as before, but swap the words "height" with "width" :-)
