Subject: [Qt-interest] any elegant to handle toolbar visibility?

My application uses multi-view design. Each view is a QMainWindow subclass.
Different views display different menus/toolbars/docking widgets.
Which view to display is define by QStackWidget (and some logic behind it).

Desired behavior is to show only specific for current QMainWindow toolbars/docking widgets.
Unfortunately even when QMainWindow is hidden (even if I hide it explicitly ) floating widgets are still shown.

I definitely could hide them manually when current index of stacked widget is changed,
but then you need to make it visible (if it was not manually hidden, which has to be tracked somewhere ). Also this requires customize saving and/or loading widget states routine, cause
wrong visibility flag will be written.

As a quick and dirty trick I disable toolbars and docking widgets of the hidden view.
But I still prefer visibility of toolbars/docking widgets being toggled.

To be fair I would expect child widgets to be hidden automatically if their parent is hidden, even if they are undocked. Unfortunately it does not work this way.

Anybody see any elegant solution?

Thanks in advance,
