[Qgis-developer] How to add a QDockWidget?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Markus

I've committed a fix for this in r8774 (svn trunk). The change will be
part of 1.0.0 release only. Please let me know if you have any issues
and thanks for reporting this.

Regards

Tim

> dock->setObjectName("Hallo");
> dock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
> qobject_cast<QgisApp *>(mQGisIface->getMainWindow())->addDockWidget(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea, dock);

> But I think this is clearly against the intention of the interface class to shield QgisApp from plugin calls, as I understand the getMainWindow() member should only be used when connecting to QMainWindow signals.
