[PyQt] QDockWidget offset?

[Matic Kukovec]

Hi Tony,

I set the QGroupBox as the main widget of the QDockWidget like so:

self.main_groupbox = data.QGroupBox()
self.main_groupbox.setGeometry(0, 0,width, height)
# Set it as the main widget
self.setWidget(self.main_groupbox)

I do not know how to add the groupbox to the dockWidgetsContents  as you mentioned, can you please give me an example.

Thanks,
Matic

Is your QGroupBox contained within the dockWidgetsContents widget, that
is usually in a QDockWidget and is effectively a layout, or has it
replaced it? I think you need to keep the dockWidgetsContent and add
any other widgets to that and not to the QDockWidget directly.

Your widget structure or the code that creates the QDockWidget instance
would be helpful here.

Regards,
Tony.
