How to get the DockPanelBase having a specific id ?

2 months 3 weeks ago #1 by GEOPIXEL
Problem context :
I need to create snapshots of the layout of the docking system, to save the settings of the DockWidgetPanel elements and be able to restore it later on.
My first thought was to use DockPanelManager::saveStateToXML/ loadStateFromDevice but unfortunately using loadStateFromDevice was not working out of the box for us...
It would be also a better fit for our design if we could save/reload the context per DockWidgetPanel element i.o saving everything globaly from the DockPanelManager.
So I am saving the id of the parent panel of the DockWidgetPanelElement using DockWidgetPanelElement::parentPanel() but what I miss is the way to retrieve the DockWidgetPanelElement* from the saved id later on...

Is there a way :
  • to retrieve a DockWidgetPanelElement* from an id ?
  • or to get the list of every DockWidgetPanelElement ? I have tried to browse widgetPanelList() and documentPanelList but they are not containing element having the id of my DockWidgetPanel parentl [/i]
  • or to retrieve the current Qtitan::DockPanelArea of a DockWidgetPanel ?

you'll need to use SetProperty
doc.qt.io/qt-6/properties.html

then, you'd also need to modify the sources for load/save the XML docking part.

Is the specific ID constantly incrementing or fixed IDs?
