[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53046] Variable Editor: feature request to make multiple tables visible at once.

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #41, bug #53046 (project octave):

@JWE: Here are the flags I think you were interested in:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmainwindow.html#storing-state


  m_main->setDockOptions (QMainWindow::AllowNestedDocks |
                          QMainWindow::VerticalTabs);


The former option the sub-dock areas to be further subdivided which is a bit
like free-form placement.  The latter option isn't always vertical tabs, but
makes them vertical *if* the dock is at the left or right edge area.  (To
clarify, I'm attaching a screen shot.)  I think combining those two (without
restriction) doesn't make sense because people will wonder what the rule is
for the vertical/horizontal tabs.  However, I can place the dock widget in the
right area rather than the top area by default--and then I can restrict the
dock widgets individually to the left/right areas.


  page->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea |
                        Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
  m_main->addDockWidget (Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, page);


I've incorporated those changes in the attached changeset (which doesn't have
Torsten's addition, but his changeset should still apply).

(file #43349, file #43350)
