With Qt 5.7 Designer, is it possible to have dock widget as child of another widget, e.g. within tab widget (which is within stacked widget)?

As far as I know can dock widgets only be added to a QMainWindow. – Patrizio Bekerle Oct 05 '16 at 20:50

True in the designer. Not sure, with hand-coding. – vorlket Oct 06 '16 at 03:05

It is not possible to do this because a QDockWidget must be docked inside a QMainWindow, and Qt Designer does not allow a QMainWindow to be added as a child widget.
However, in hand-written code, QMainWindow can be treated just like any other widget and so, as per your example, it could be set as a page inside a QTabWidget. Any dock-widgets added to that page would then behave just the same as they would in a top-level main-window.
