Inherits QWidget.
The QDockWidget class provides a widget that can be docked inside a QMainWindow or floated as a top-level window on the desktop.
QDockWidget provides the concept of dock widgets, also know as tool palettes or utility windows. Dock windows are secondary windows placed in the dock widget area around the central widget in a QMainWindow.
Dock windows can be moved inside their current area, moved into new areas and floated (e.g. undocked) by the end-user. The QDockWidget API allows the programmer to restrict the dock widgets ability to move, float and close, as well as the areas in which they can be placed.
A QDockWidget consists of a title bar and the content area. The titlebar displays the dock widgets window title, a float button and a close button. Depending on the state of the QDockWidget, the float and close buttons may be either disabled or not shown at all.
The visual appearance of the title bar and buttons is dependent on the style in use.
