Hi Tao,

I don't think there is such a feature in the "official" version.
But as you can see in a previous post of mine, I implemented this feature a while ago in a specific version visible on my github.
Here is the link to the post mentionning it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vldocking/Kgm0ekkbCO8
And here is the diff to what I modified: https://github.com/fmarot/vldocking/compare/lockUnlock-feature

It is not a stable version but shows a way to do what you are looking for.
Basiacally, I made the components extend a new class called "LockableUnlockableHeaderPanel" and there is a way to notify those components to hide their header.

Hope this helps

Hi Tao

If I remember correctly, you just have to get an instance of the eventbus (EventBus.INSTANCE) and publish an event (whether a LockAllWidgetsEvent or an UnlockAllWidgetsEvent ). That should do it as the Eventbus is global (static).
