This is a simple mdi library for Qt 6. The goal of this project, is to provide an easy way to modifying menus and toolbars of windows on demand. This can be used to present different menus and toolbars to widgets inside a QTabWidget, hiding or showing a different set of menus on demand or even enabling a small plugin system.
See the HTML manual available at the doc/html directory.
You can consume the code as a CMake library (git submodule is an option), and then
include the library. You can also use CPM (the library will eventually be added to
vcpkg and connan repos):
include(cmake/CPM.cmake)
# you probably don't need to build examples into your project
set(QMDILIB_BUILD_EXAMPLES off)
CPMAddPackage("gh:elcuco/qmdlib#main")
add_executable(foo ... )
target_link_libraries(foo PRIVATE qmdlib)Then follow the exaple https://github.com/elcuco/qmdilib/blob/master/demos/demo1/mainwindow.cpp on how to merge clients on/off by demand.
See https://github.com/elcuco/qmdilib/blob/master/demos/demo2/mainwindow2.cpp for instrctions on adding different types of clients into a QTabWidget
The dessign of this library can be shown in this UML:
The license of this library is LGPL version 2 or 3 as you need.
I would like to thank these people for helping me with the development of this library:
- Nox PasNox [email protected] for the patch for using QWorkspace as a mini qmdiServer when stored into a qmdiTabWidget (removed in Qt6)
- Henry badinter [email protected] for many suggestion in the internal interfaces of qmdilib and his ediuk application which uses qmdilib for many of it's internal interfaces
