Thank you for this big merge request with a great new feature. I fixed all build issues in your pull request that occured when building everything on Windows with MinGW and qmake.

When I run the demo application on WIndows to test the feature, I can see an issue that I will document in the next days.

The current implementation has a bug, that causes a wrong painting on Windows. To reproduce this, execute the following steps:

Because you implemented the feature, it is easier for you to find the problem.

Thanks for reviewing it so quickly! I will merge this with the auto hide branch you created and look into the issues you brought up. Please let me know if you find anything else :). I'm still testing this, so I will post more bug fixes as I go along, will let you know once it's fully ready for review!

@SyarifFakhri Thank you for your contribution. I'm closing the pull request now because development now takes place in the autohide_feature branch.

@SyarifFakhri Thank you. Fixed it. Please test.

I have a question. In qmake I can add an RC file on Windows with the RC_FILE statement (see demo.pro RC_FILE += app.rc). Do you know how to add this for a CMake file?

Cheers! It does build now :)

I believe you just need to add it like so:

Let me know if that works for you :)

@githubuser0xFFFF I did find one more issue while testing this. If you open an auto hide dock tab and open the context menu as shown:

Then click anywhere inside the dock but outside the context menu, the dock will collapse.

I believe that's due to this code here:

The context menu is considered as a different window, so it closes. I think one fix would be to check if the widget is a descendant of the auto hide widget, and don't collapse it if it is perhaps?

@SyarifFakhri Thank you - good catch. I changed the implementation now. Now the auto hide container is not closed, if the user clicks into another floating window. It will only get closed in the following cases:

• user clicks in the same dock container but outside of the auto hide widget
• user clicks the auto hide tab
• user starts dragging a floating widget that is not the container of this auto hide widget
• user starts dragging a docked widget

Please test, if this is ok for you.

@SyarifFakhri I noticed that there are still some things, that needs to get fixed with hiding the auto hide widget

@SyarifFakhri Ok, I think I finally fixed the eventFilter function ion auto hide widget to work properly. Please test.

Everything seems good. Thanks for the fixes!

how to pin/unpin(auto hide) a group?

@yuriyoung Just read the manual and play around with the demo application and you will find it out in some minutes.
