how to make central area resize to QDockWidgets positions

Since it seems not possible to add a QDockWidget in the middle area of a form, i wonder how can i resize the middle area text widget to automatically will the space.

Ex:

=======================
|    top doc          |
|---------------------| 
| left| text    |right|
| dock|  edit   |doc  |
|     |         |     |
|     |         |     |
=======================

now if i resize or move any docks, it doesnt resize the text edit in the middle. How can i make my text edit automatically resizable?

Solution

  • Can you make the text edit the central widget, then it should have this behaviour by default
