KDDockWidgets - a Customized Docking Framework System - Video

KDDockWidgets was born from my need to preserve sanity after having worked on projects that needed extensive QDockWidget customization. Ashamed from abusing event filters to hijack mouse events, tired of using Qt private API to implement hacks that would break after a Qt version bump, I’ve decided to write a new framework that incorporates all of our learnings from hacking QDockWidget.

In this presentation, I’ll show you which features are must-haves in modern docking systems and what sets KDDW apart from QDockWidget, not only in terms of functionalities but in customization capabilities and code stability too.

Finally, we’ll put KDDW’s extensibility claims to the test and talk about the QtQuick/QML support.
