Scroll Bar in QStackedWidget in qt - qt

I am using Qt Designer and I have a QStackedWidget. On one of the pages the data exceeds the size limit of the page. I added a Vertical Scroll Bar but it is not working when I run the application. Do I have to write any code for it. Please someone help with this.
Thank You.

Put your QStackedWidget into QScrollArea. In general, if you want something to be scrollable, you put it into QScrollArea.

How to move a QPushButton inside gridLayout?

I have just tried a simple thing, in designer I created one push button, inside grid layout. The problem is geometry option got disabled in Property box, and I am not able to change the cordinates. In this situation how should I move the push button from its original place if required?
Can somebody help me to achieve this??
You can't move or resize a widget inside a layout because its position and its size are managed by the layout. If you want to manage its geometry yourself, do not use a layout.
Qt layouts are designed to help you make scalable user interfaces. For this, moving or resizing the button is usually done by the layout using sizeHint() and sizePolicy().
I would suggest reading up on how to use layouts and the use of spacers, as this will impact the location and size of your button.
Well I found a solution to that
Break the Layout, arrange the widgets and then set the layout

What happens to the Bottom Layout Guide when an InputView is displayed (i.e. keyboard)

So everyone loves this new Layout semantics in storyboard, it's dynamic in a way it adapts at runtime when we're inside a UINavigationController for example.
Now what about inputViews? I know inputViews are NOT part of my view, but wouldn't it make sense to affect the bottom layout guide of the containing view when a keyboard is displayed?
I mean, I've seen several coding solutions to this issue, but only one affectively takes advantage of the bottom layout guide (the others are deprecated or plain simple wrong approaches), but even that one sounds hard-wacky-coding and naturally it doesn't animate.
Is there a way to tell the view to adjust the bottom layout guide for input views automatically? I mean in storyboard? or do we need to do this sucky code let every time we use a keyboard in our application?
If the Keyboard appearing animated:YES would affect the bottom layout guide in it's progress we'd have yet another apple-is-so-cool-they-make-all-the-hard-work-for-us-while-enforcing-their-user-interface-guidelines....aff that was long :)

Resizing application made by Qt

I made a program using Qt 5.2.1 . Now when I launch the application and resize it, the scroll bars don't appear automatically.
I have tried adding the scroll area and then within it a widget ( and setting minimum size) but even that doesn't work.
Please tell me how to resolve this issue.
The problem is that you have not put a layout in the scroll area's interior. Also, the scroll area itself needs to be inside of a layout.
So you need at least 2 layouts to make this work.

Window flags not helping in mdiarea in Qt

I am using Qt and creating a GUI with multiple sub windows. I am using MDI Area for the same. I want to hide the top toolbar of mdi subwindow but using window flags is not helping.
I have tried writing the code as follows. First I tried for mdiarea and then for subwindow but neither worked.
mdiarea.setWindowsFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
subwindow.setWindowsFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
I have also tried using Qt::CustomizedWindowHint but even that is not helping. Please help me with this.
Thank You.
Try this:
mdiArea->addSubWindow(new QLabel("Qt::FramelessWindowHint"), Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
You don't want to set the MDI area itself as a frameless window, because it's a widget you likely have embedded in another window... it most likely already doesn't have a frame.
Your setting the 'subwindow' should work... but addSubWindow(myWidget) actually wraps the widget passed in in the real subwindow, so that's what was going wrong. Qt lets you pass in window flags as the second parameter of addSubWindow() and those flags go to the real subwindow.
Note that with a frameless window, you can't drag the window around to move it, or grab the edges to resize it, because there's nothing for you to grab onto!
If you just want the minimize and maximize buttons gone (but still want the close button), try passing Qt::Dialog instead.
Try also experimenting with these:
addSubWindow(new QLabel("Qt::Tool"), Qt::Tool);
addSubWindow(new QLabel("Qt::Tool|Qt::CustomizeWindowHint"), Qt::Tool|Qt::CustomizeWindowHint);
addSubWindow(new QLabel("Qt::Dialog"), Qt::Dialog);
I think Qt::Tool|Qt::CustomizeWindowHint is probably the best option (no buttons, but still movable and resizable - if you don't want it resizable, give it a fixed size (setFixedSize()).
Edit: Also try: Qt::CustomizeWindowHint|Qt::WindowTitleHint

Qt: How to handle forms?

I'm creating an application in Qt (Nokia SDK) which should hold a login screen, main menu screen, etc....
But what is the best way to jump back and forward on these screens?
I have recently looked at Stacked Widget, and it seems like that could solve my case, but it has some kind of margin on itself, that makes it look weird. (Makes the widget not fill the entire screen)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
if you are using a layout, select it and in properties, set margin values to 0
QStackedWidget doesn't have any margins. You should check if you are using layouts with margins. Usually you will have layout for each page of stacked widget.
