[QGIS-Developer] Get current QDockWidget in specific location

[Germán Carrillo]

BTW, note that you can omit the 3rd parameter in addTabifiedDockWidget()
and your dock widget will be tabified in that location, no matter which
dock widget is already placed there.

iface.addTabifiedDockWidget(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea, my_own_dock_widget)


On the other hand, if you really need to get existent dock widgets in a
given location, this function will do it:


def dockWidgetsInArea(area):
    dwa = []
    for dw in iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QDockWidget):
        if dw.isVisible() and iface.mainWindow().dockWidgetArea(dw) == area:
            dwa.append(dw)

    return dwa

Use it in this way:
dws = dockWidgetsInArea(Qt.RightDockWidgetArea)


Regards,

Germán
