I’d like to implement a sidepanel in my Qt window. I search something like the one that is used in the Visual Studio (see below).

enter image description here

Important notes:

  • The widgets don’t have to be moveable
  • resizing should be possible
  • each widget should be clearly separated from the other layout

Does anyone have an idea how I could build such a sidepanel? (Maybe there even exists a library)
Or does anyone know a project which uses Qt and some kind of sidepanel?

    One option would be to use QDockWidgets. That’s the type of thing they are intended for inside a QMainWindow.

    You can put toolbars, QTreeViews and QTableViews (or related) widgets inside your dock widget to simulate the screenshot you posted.

    For an example usage: Dock Widgets Example.
