Using Qt 4.8.2, on Windows.
I'm putting user information in a QWidgetAction for a drop-down menu. But the QWidgetAction's widget is spilling over the left column where action icons are normally displayed:
Here's the code:
QMenu *menu = new QMenu;
QIcon icon(...);
QLabel *iconLabel = new QLabel;
iconLabel->setPixmap(icon.pixmap(32, 32)); // XXX what size?
QLabel *userName = new QLabel("user name");
QLabel *userEmail = new QLabel("Rfoo#bar.com");
// Layouts
QVBoxLayout* vbox = new QVBoxLayout();
vbox->addWidget(userName);
vbox->addWidget(userEmail);
QHBoxLayout* hbox = new QHBoxLayout;
hbox->addWidget(iconLabel);
hbox->addLayout(vbox);
// container widget
QWidget* widget = new QWidget;
widget->setLayout(hbox);
// Widget Action
QWidgetAction* widgetAction = new QWidgetAction(menu);
widgetAction->setDefaultWidget(widget);
menu->addAction(widgetAction);
menu->addSeparator();
menu->addAction("P....... P.......");
menu->addSeparator();
menu->addAction("Sign Out");
If I remove the pixmap from the widget and set it as the QWidgetAction's icon, the widget still spills over the left column and the icon is not displayed.
I'd like to figure out one of these solutions:
keep the QWidgetAction from spilling into the menu's icon column
set the QWidgetAction's icon and have it displayed in the icon column
remove the menu's icon column completely
Thanks

I've created a a widget in which I've placed two buttons using a layout and placed it inside a table widget's cell. The thing is that I'm changing the size of the table and I want to shift the placement of the widget without deleting them and re-initializing them from the beginning because I already assigned them actions on click (I think that the application would crash in this situation)
Code:
btn = new QPushButton[horzHeaders.size()];
btn[j].setParent(ui->tableWidget);
btn[j].setIcon(QIcon("./save.png"));
btn[j].setVisible(true);
btn_Load = new QPushButton[horzHeaders.size()];
btn_Load[j].setParent(ui->tableWidget);
btn_Load[j].setIcon(QIcon("./upload.png"));
btn_Load[j].setVisible(true);
lay = new QHBoxLayout[horzHeaders.size()];
lay[j].addWidget(&btn[j]);
lay[j].addWidget(&btn_Load[j]);
QWidget *w = new QWidget[horzHeaders.size()];
w[j].setLayout(&lay[j]);
ui->tableWidget->setCellWidget(j,vertHeaders.size() - 1, &w[j]);
You can add and remove widgets from a layout anytime you want
QWidget *widget = new QWidget();
QPushButton *button = new QPushButton();
QHBoxLayout *Hbox = new QHBoxLayout();
QVBoxLayout *Vbox= new QVBoxLayout();
Hbox->addWidget(button);
// use it till the window is resized
//and then check with an if-statement if the window is resized or not
Hbox->removeWidget(button); // remove from the button from layout
layout()->removeAt(widget); //remove the widget's current layout
Vbox->addWidget(button); // add button widget to vertical layout
widget->setLayout(Vbox); // Give it a new layout
widget->setLayout(Vbox);
If this didn't answer your question then ask in the comments.
I'm using QT 5.4.2 and trying to create a small panel at the bottom
of a subclassed QTreeWidget.
Here is the code:
void HmiScenarioAutoscriptPanel::searchEmitter() {
QWidget *child = new QWidget(ui->emitterTreeWidget);
//QMainWindow* child = new QMainWindow;
QLabel *labelSearch = new QLabel("Search");
QLineEdit *lineSearch = new QLineEdit();
lineSearch->setFixedSize(100, 20);
QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout(ui->emitterTreeWidget);
layout->setAlignment(Qt::AlignBottom);
layout->addWidget(child);
layout->addWidget(labelSearch);
layout->addWidget(lineSearch);
}
The label and search field correctly appear at the bottom of the tree,
however the fields overlap with the tree nodes (see image below).
Any idea why this behavior?
Ciao

It is not recommended to set layout on the tree widget. It is like other controls like a button, label etc..
I see that you are using designer. Add a blank widget (searchWidget) under the tree widget and then
void HmiScenarioAutoscriptPanel::searchEmitter() {
QWidget *child = new QWidget(ui->searchWidget);
//QMainWindow* child = new QMainWindow;
QLabel *labelSearch = new QLabel("Search", searchWidget);
QLineEdit *lineSearch = new QLineEdit(searchWidget);
lineSearch->setFixedSize(100, 20);
QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout(ui->searchWidget);
layout->setAlignment(Qt::AlignBottom);
layout->addWidget(child);
layout->addWidget(labelSearch);
layout->addWidget(lineSearch);
}
Just out of curiosity, why don't you add these using the designer as well?
I create all my QWidgets with code and put them in a tab. However all of the widgets are stacked on top of each other. Is there a way to move widgets dynamic?. It would be possible to move the widgets dynamic to how many there already is in the widget?.As it is know I have to move them with move() which could be hard to keep track on when more objects are added.
QTabWidget* MainWindow::CreateTabWidget(){
QTabWidget* tabWidget = new QTabWidget(ui->centralWidget);
tabWidget->setFixedSize(this->size().width(),this->size().height()- 40);
QWidget* tab = new QWidget();
QLabel* label = new QLabel("Sektionnamn",tab);
QLineEdit* line = new QLineEdit(tab);
line->move(0,20);
tabWidget->addTab(tab,"Tab 1");
return tabWidget;
}
Use QLayout:
QLabel* label = new QLabel("Sektionnamn");
QLineEdit* line = new QLineEdit();
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(label);
layout->addWidget(line);
tab->setLayout(layout);
I have this test case:
// Scroll
QScrollArea *sa = new QScrollArea(ui->centralWidget);
sa->setWidgetResizable( true );
// Layout for widgets
QVBoxLayout *vl_2 = new QVBoxLayout();
vl_2->setSpacing(0);
// Widget to attach the scroll to and the layout
QWidget *widget = new QWidget()
widget->setLayout(vl_2);
sa->setWidget(widget);
// Test widgets
QComboBox *cb_1 = new QComboBox();
QComboBox *cb_2 = new QComboBox();
vl_2->addWidget( cb_1 );
vl_2->addWidget( cb_2 );
And the widgets have 0 space between them.
But if I add them to a QTabWdiget, it all breaks as if QTabWidget does not respect the set setSpacing(0);.
// TabWidget
QTabWidget *run_results = new QTabWidget(ui->centralWidget);
run_results->resize( this->size().width() -20, this->size().height() -80 );
run_results->show();
// Scroll
QScrollArea *sa = new QScrollArea(ui->centralWidget);
sa->setWidgetResizable( true );
// Layout for widgets
QVBoxLayout *vl_2 = new QVBoxLayout();
vl_2->setSpacing(0);
// Widget to attach the scroll to and the layout
QWidget *widget = new QWidget()
widget->setLayout(vl_2);
sa->setWidget(widget);
// Add the scroll to as the TabWidget tab.
run_results->addTab(sa, "test");
// Test widgets
QComboBox *cb_1 = new QComboBox();
QComboBox *cb_2 = new QComboBox();
vl_2->addWidget( cb_1 );
vl_2->addWidget( cb_2 );
Anyone know what I need to do to force QTabWidget to not resize and move my widgets so that they take all the space?
I tried to add Qt::AlignTop to the addWdiget but it did nothing other than place the first widget at the top and the next in the middle of the screen.
I understand where I went wrong.
In the first case I add my scrollarea as a sub-widget to the centralwidget. In the second example I add the scrollarea as the centralwidget which expands it to the whole tabwidget.
I resolved the second case by first adding a holder QWidget as the tabwidget and then adding the scrollarea as a sub-widget to it.
I'm a Qt newbie. I want to display 2 images side-by-side using Qt. Using Qt's Image Viewer Example, I want to add another scrollable image display, such that both images are displayed side-by-side.
The example code has this snippet for the ctor:
ImageViewer::ImageViewer()
{
imageLabel = new QLabel;
imageLabel->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Base);
imageLabel->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
imageLabel->setScaledContents(true);
scrollArea = new QScrollArea;
scrollArea->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Dark);
scrollArea->setWidget(imageLabel);
setCentralWidget(scrollArea);
...
If I understand it correctly, I want to get imageLabel to be only half width of the screen while another QLabel is displayed on the other half.
How can I do this?
Thanks.
If I understand correctly, this here should suffice:
// Left image
imageLabelLeft = new QLabel;
imageLabelLeft->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Base);
imageLabelLeft->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
imageLabelLeft->setScaledContents(true);
scrollAreaLeft = new QScrollArea;
scrollAreaLeft->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Dark);
scrollAreaLeft->setWidget(imageLabelLeft);
// Right image
imageLabelRight = new QLabel;
imageLabelRight->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Base);
imageLabelRight->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
imageLabelRight->setScaledContents(true);
scrollAreaRight = new QScrollArea;
scrollAreaRight->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Dark);
scrollAreaRight->setWidget(imageLabelRight);
// Do the layout
QWidget *centralWidget = new QWidget;
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout(centralWidget);
layout->addWidget(scrollAreaLeft);
layout->addWidget(scrollAreaRight);
setCentralWidget(centralWidget);
