Description

It would be nice if there was a way to programmatically decide the position of the tabbar in dock areas. E.g. Left, Right, Top, Bottom etc.

Resolution: In 4.3, you will be able to choose vertical tab bar layout on demand.

This task has been migrated into the public JIRA server as issue QTBUG-402.

I want to have the tabs in the tabwidget on top, not on the button for
DockWidgets. Can you extend the enum QMainWindow::DockOption by a
value "QMainWindow::TopTabs", please? I it should move all tabs in
docked widgets to the top.


The following code (taken von Qt 4.3) might be patched for that issue:

void QMainWindowLayout::setVerticalTabsEnabled(bool enabled)
{
#ifdef QT_NO_TABBAR
Q_UNUSED(enabled);
#else
QDockAreaLayout &layout = layoutState.dockAreaLayout;

const QTabBar::Shape verticalShapes[] = {
QTabBar::RoundedWest,
QTabBar::RoundedEast,
QTabBar::RoundedNorth,
QTabBar::RoundedSouth
};

for (int i = 0; i < QInternal::DockCount; ++i) {
layout.docks[i].setTabBarShape(
enabled ? verticalShapes[i] : QTabBar::RoundedSouth
);
}
#endif // QT_NO_TABBAR
}

it might become something like:

void QMainWindowLayout::setVerticalTabsEnabled(bool vertical, bool alwaysTop)
{
#ifdef QT_NO_TABBAR
Q_UNUSED(enabled);
#else
QDockAreaLayout &layout = layoutState.dockAreaLayout;

const QTabBar::Shape verticalShapes[] = {
QTabBar::RoundedWest,
QTabBar::RoundedEast,
QTabBar::RoundedNorth,
alwaysTop ? QTabBar::RoundedNorth : QTabBar::RoundedSouth
};

for (int i = 0; i < QInternal::DockCount; ++i) {
layout.docks[i].setTabBarShape(
enabled ?
verticalShapes[i] :
(alwaysTop?QTabBar::RoundedNorth : QTabBar::RoundedSouth)
);
}
#endif // QT_NO_TABBAR
}
