    Hello everyone.
    Is it possible to create a python dockable add-on using qt?
    I can't figure out the docking_events_gdal example with its XAML and .net elements
    It would be great to get an example implementation of a dockable window for mapinfo using python and qt.

    I want to make a dockable or float window that displays information on the selected object.
    To get the selected object I use "pro.Catalog.SelectionBaseTable()" and it works.
    But my knowledge is only enough for python (pyqt)

    Hi Max,
    It is not possible to create dockable windows in pyqt, as it uses completely different window mechanism, but you can create dialogs in pyqt.
    Check the mapinfo_customization_dialogs for dialog example, sample is part of PythonQuickStart addin.

    Thanks
