I am trying to insert a very tiny QLabel into a very tiny QFrame.
The QFrame is used as a spacer and I thought it a perfect place to add text.
In code that text would change (in to mm). Because mm is so giant it is clipped...
Yet it seems to me it would fit if I could just get rid of the margins !
So I try:
ui->tinyFrame is created in Designer... it has geometry 0,0,10,10
QLabel* unitLabel = new QLabel("mm");
unitLabel->setFixedSize(8,8);
unitLabel->setFont(QFont("Arial Narrow", 7));
unitLabel->setMargin(0);
unitLabel->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
QHBoxLayout* unitLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
unitLayout->setSpacing(0); // I try everything
unitLayout->setMargin(0);
unitLayout->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
ui->tinyFrame->setLayout(unitLayout);
ui->tinyFrame->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
unitLayout->addWidget(unitLabel);
What else can I try to remove the space around my little label ?

QLabel is derived from QFrame: maybe you can just replace that QFrame with QLabel then? And no nested layout for that frame.
... as long as you tried layout->setSpacing(0) already...

I have the following to add a QTableView to a QWidget:
QVBoxLayout *vLayout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
QTableView *tableView = new QTableView;
tableView->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);
tableView->verticalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);
tableView->verticalHeader()->setVisible(false);
vLayout->addWidget(tableView);
This widget will use model which load data from MySQL... And there is only one line of content, so I would like to make the view just height enough to show one line. How to approach this issue?
I had the same problem and found that this works best:
const auto height = table.horizontalHeader()->sizeHint().height() + table.rowHeight(0);
table.setMinimumHeight(height);
table.setMaximumHeight(height);
You force the table to keep the exact size specified by you: the header size + the size of a single row.
I'd like to have a fixed size QGraphicsView, which I want to add to a layout together with some other widgets. However, the QGraphicsView simply ignores resize(), here is the relevant code:
QGraphicsScene* scene = new QGraphicsScene;
QGraphicsView* view = new QGraphicsView(scene);
view->setBackgroundBrush(QBrush(Qt::black, Qt::SolidPattern));
view->resize(1000, 600);
QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->setMargin(0);
layout->addWidget(view);
setLayout(layout);
If I use setFixedSize() instead of resize(), the size is actually being set correctly. However, it seems that the window size is not updated, the window is not centered properly.
How am I supposed to set a fixed size for a QGraphicsView?
I know this is a very old question, but in case anyone else stumbles into it: you can set both minimumSize and maximumSize to the desired target size, and it should work regardless of what layout the QGraphicsView is in.
If I understood you right you want to have QGraphicsView centred inside the window and having fixed size. You need rather then VBoxLayout you should use QGridLayout with spacers, so your form should look like:
<Empty> <VSpacer> <Empty>
<HSpacer> <GraphicsView> <HSpacer>
<Empty> <VSpacer> <Empty>
I have a panel.ui file done using QTDesigner. It's a QFrame class, rectangular shape with few labels on it. And I have a QListWidget class where I insert 3 instances of the panel.ui.
I create a QListWidgetItem and then use List->SetItemWidget(..) to populate my list.
The Result is a list filled with three panels. I was also able to move the panels inside the list using dragDropMode internalMove.
I also tested the ability to shift the panels a bit to the right when I click on them and that worked:
in procedure List::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
Panel *child = static_cast<Panel*>(childAt(event->pos()))
...
int y= child->pos().y();
int x = child->pos().x();
child->move (x +10, y); `
Problem: When I run the app and display the list, I want all the panels to be displayed with that 10 offset to the right. So in the List constructor and inside the loop after this->setItemWidget(myPanelItem, myPanel); I try using myPanel->move() like above but it doesn't seem to work.
I run the app, the panels are displayed without my offset ( not sure why?) but when I click on one, it shifts.
move() won't work reliably since the widgets are in a layout. (Well, not a layout as in a QLayout, but the effect is comparable: When any metric in your application changes, e.g. you resize or scroll the list, the widgets are repositioned by the list widget.)
What you can do is wrap your actual widget in a container widget with a layout margin:
QWidget* wrapIntoContainerForOffset(QWidget* widget, int offset /*in pixels*/) {
QWidget* container = new QWidget;
QHBoxLayout* layout = new QLayout(container);
layout->setContentsMargins(/*left=*/ offset, /*others=*/ 0, 0, 0);
layout->addWidget(widget);
return container;
}
Then you add these containers to the listwidget instead.
Have You tried StyleSheets. The QListWidget supports Box model( http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt/stylesheet-customizing.html#box-model ). So You may want to try playing around with margins in the stylesheets.

I want to expand QTableViews' size so each QTableView takes the half size of the window! , how can i do it?

Add a QHBoxLayout to your widget/window and then add the tables to it.
The following code on a top level widget..
QHBoxLayout *horizontalLayout;
QTableView *tableView;
QTableView *tableView_2;
horizontalLayout = new QHBoxLayout(Widget);
tableView = new QTableView(Widget);
horizontalLayout->addWidget(tableView);
tableView_2 = new QTableView(Widget);
horizontalLayout->addWidget(tableView_2);
Will give you something like..
The two tables share the available space equally and expand and resize with the main window.
I wanted to know whether is there any way of fixing child layouts within a parent layout. For example...
QVBoxLayout *vbox = new QVBoxLayout;
// adding pushbuttons/layouts...
vbox->addWidget(one);
vbox->addWidget(two);
vbox->addWidget(three);
vbox->addWidget(four);
Now this ends up as four buttons/layouts in a vertical layout in the sequence that they are added. But if I remove buttons/layouts "one", "two" and "three"...
vbox->removeWidget(one);
vbox->removeWidget(two);
vbox->removeWidget(three);
After doing this, the pushbutton "four" will move up the layout as you remove widgets on top of "four". I don't want this to happen.
Is there any way that even if I remove the widget/layout on top, I need that last widget/layout to stay where it is currently.
How do I achieve this ?
UPDATE: Well I was experimenting and I was kind of able to achieve what I wanted using QGridLayout. Here is the code, but I am using QGridLayout instead of QVBoxLayout.
connect(one,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(remove_btns()));
g = new QGridLayout(this);
g->addWidget(one,0,0,1,2);
g->addWidget(two,1,0,1,2);
g->addWidget(three,2,0,1,2);
g->addWidget(four,3,0,1,2,Qt::AlignBottom);
setLayout(g);
If I delete the above three buttons, the fourth one stays where it is, because of QT::AlignBottom , it does not work without that thing.
Here is the SLOT remove_btns()
void test::remove_btns()
{
g->removeWidget(one);
g->removeWidget(two);
g->removeWidget(three);
delete one;
delete two;
delete three;
}
When I click "one", top three buttons vanish, and the fourth one stays where it is. But it does not work if I don't give the QT::AlignBottom . Also, these alignment things are a mystery to me, I am unable to find how exactly they work.
This is definitely NOT an answer..., because I don't understand how it worked :P
If you are immediately replacing the widgets you removed, you can always insert your new widgets by index.
void insertWidget ( int index, QWidget * widget, int stretch = 0, Qt::Alignment alignment = 0 )
Yes, just hide the widgets instead of removing them:
one->hide();
two->hide();
three->hide();
If you really have to remove the widgets, perhaps you can replace them with some lightweight widget like a QLabel with no text.
