Document that toggleViewAction can't be used to toggle the dock widget
...from code. This is by design; the action is updated when the dock widget changes, not the other way around (which would easily result in infinite loops). Change-Id: I9e71784d239a9cbb6c8efaeaa3e3adc6dc590f65 Fixes: QTBUG-80022 Reviewed-by: Venugopal Shivashankar <Venugopal.Shivashankar@qt.io>
