[Qt-interest] managing client windows in embedded Qt

[linux newbie]

I subclassed QDockWidget and in its layout I set my own menubar. This is
working. But there is a vertical space between menubar and widget. How to
remove this?

Below is the code.
DockWidget::DockWidget(QWidget *parent)
    :QDockWidget(parent)
{


    Qt::WindowFlags flags = this->windowFlags();
    flags |= Qt::FramelessWindowHint;
    this->setWindowFlags(flags);
    this->setFeatures(QDockWidget::NoDockWidgetFeatures);

    this->setFloating(true);
    this->layout()->setMenuBar(&menuBar);

}
