You can use QDockWidget with QToolBox + QWidget.

No, but some basic concepts you can find in Qt examples. Basically it's simple, just create layout using QDockWidget, on the left side insert QToolBox, the main widget you can create manually after events received from QToolBox, or you can create them all, and only hide/show appropiate widget.

I would interpret it as following:

- The left "category" selection is an QListView with huge icons as an QDockWidget (you can get the index of the clicked item by catching the clicked() signal and getting the row by index.row() and calling QWidgetStack.raiseWidget() )
- The main widget is an QStackedWidget.
- The currently visible main site can be realized either with an sublassed QLabel with an pixmap and an layout with the labels on it or with an own widget and painting the background in paintEvent()
- Menus, Toolbos etc are self describing

An the whole stuff, of course, with QMainWindow

hi,

there is a Qtexample which is quite similar : http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/dialogs-configdialog.html

You can build something like this in the designer with a listview and stackedwidget as already said above. What I would like to know is how they do it in the kde example that the complete "cell" (Picture plus text) is highlighted when selected. In the designer only the the icon and the text itself change their color.
