I meet a problem with restore layout. If the user has three Dockables, the first time the main window is opened normally, I will save the current layout to the file when I close the main window. When the administrator modifies the privileges, the current user can see the contents of the four Dockables, there is no problem with the initial loading, and the four Dockables are loaded into the CControl. When I call the CControl.readXML() method to restore, There is a problem: it will make only three Dockables visible in the main window, and the other one is already in the Dockable CControl, but it is not displayed.
How do I make that hidden Dockable visible or incremental restore interface layout?
I would just check if this 4th Dockable is visible or not, and make it visible.
In the example below I used setLocationAside to ensure the missing Dockable is displayed at the same location as some other “friendly Dockable” (I’m assuming some Dockables are usually grouped together).

You could also use try using the DockableGrouping to access any placeholder that is still stored in the layout file. But this will only work if the Dockable was visible at least once (because otherwise the layout does not contain any placeholders).
Hm… It is an option but not a good one. We are misusing the grouping-feature. I would recommend using the solution from my first answer.
