Issue change tab QTabWidget & QScrollArea Qt - c++

I'm trying to create a QScrollArea in a QTabWidget.
Versions :
Qt 5.15.0
Qt creator 4.12.4
MSVC2019 64 bits
First of all, I've created the QTabWidget :
tabWidget = new QTabWidget(this);
tabWidget->setGeometry(10, 15, 1200, 665);
tabWidget->setStyleSheet("font-size : 15px");
tab1Content = new QWidget(tabWidget); tabWidget->addTab(tab1Content, "tab1");
tab2Content = new QWidget(tabWidget); tabWidget->addTab(tab2Content, "tab2");
tab3Content = new QWidget(tabWidget); tabWidget->addTab(tab3Content, "tab3");
tab4Content = new QWidget(tabWidget); tabWidget->addTab(tab4Content, "tab4");
I can add
tabWidget->setEnable(true);
And for all tabs, 0 <= i < tabWidget.count
tabWidget->setTabEnabled(i, true);
Click to change tab doesn't work : https://i.stack.imgur.com/8r1Jg.png
Strange thing : color looks like enabled but i can only change tabs with ← → and when i lost tabWidget focus by clicking on an other thing outside the tabWidget, i can't regain focus.
So i've created temporary button to change tabs and linked to tabWidget like that :
connect(changeTab, &QPushButton::clicked, [&]() {onChangeTab();});
void MainWindow::onChangeTab() {
tabWidget->setCurrentIndex(tabWidget->currentIndex() >= tabWidget->count() - 1 ? 0 : tabWidget->currentIndex() + 1);
}
It works well.
Thus, I've start to create the QScrollArea :
First, it doesn't work, so I've tried to found sth on internet :
QScrollArea not working as expected with QWidget and QVBoxLayout
My result : https://i.stack.imgur.com/jvVol.png
I cannot click on a single button and i can't scroll...
And if i try to force scroll like this, it doesn't scroll
scrollArea->scroll(0, 50);
Last thing, there isn't infinite loop or dead lock things because all things around this cursed tabWidget and scroll Area work perfectly.
I don't know why these objects "don't answer" if somedoby had this kind of experiment could you help me please ?
Thank you very much in advance.

try this code
#include "widget.h"
#include<QTabWidget>
#include<QLabel>
#include<QVBoxLayout>
#include<QScrollArea>
Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent)
{
QTabWidget *tabWidget = new QTabWidget(this);
tabWidget->setGeometry(10, 15, 1200, 665);
tabWidget->setStyleSheet("font-size : 15px");
QWidget * tab1Content = new QWidget;
//preparing tab1content ( e.g.)
QVBoxLayout * verticalLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
// adding items to vertical layout
for(int i=0;i<100;i++)
verticalLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(QString::number(i)));
// set this vertical layout inside tab1content
tab1Content->setLayout(verticalLayout);
// create new scroll area ...
QScrollArea * scroll = new QScrollArea;
// ... and add tab1content in scroll area
scroll->setWidget(tab1Content);
// and finally add scroll area inside tabwidget
tabWidget->addTab(scroll,"tab1");
QWidget * tab2Content = new QWidget; tabWidget->addTab(tab2Content, "tab2");
QWidget * tab3Content = new QWidget; tabWidget->addTab(tab3Content, "tab3");
QWidget * tab4Content = new QWidget; tabWidget->addTab(tab4Content, "tab4");
}
Widget::~Widget()
{
}

QGroupBox: label cut and positioning inside QGridLayout

To be more clear explaining my problem, I've done a screenshot with some notes on it, hope it helps:
QGroupBox Layout format problem
As you can see from it, I have one big QVBoxLayout for the main layout of the app, inside it I've put a Qwidget, then a QGridLayout and then a QGridLayout again.
Inside this last one QGridLayout, I've put two QGroupBoxes, one in position 0,0 and one in position 0,1. Each QGroupBox has its own inner Layout, both of QGridLayout type again.
The screenshot shows that the firs QGroupBox works good, while the second one, that's quite smaller than the first, has two problems:
1) The label shoul be "Specific Operations" but it is trunked, and the only way to show it completely seems to be to put the buttons one next to the other horizontally... but I don't want it!
2) I managed to align the QGroupbox on the left of its "grid" but I need it to be on the upper-left corner of it, while it is centered for the moment... How can I achieve this?
Here is part of the code that should help you understand. Here is the kalk.h file:
class Kalk : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
Kalk(QWidget *parent = 0);
private slots:
void kalkChange(QString);
//....
private:
QComboBox *chooser;
QVBoxLayout *mainLayout;
QGridLayout *subLayout;
QGridLayout *operationsLayout;
QGroupBox *baseOperators;
QGridLayout *baseOperatorsLayout;
QGroupBox *specificOperators;
QGridLayout *specificOperatorsLayout;
};
Then the corresponding kalk.cpp file:
Kalk::Kalk(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent){
chooser = new QComboBox();
//...
connect(chooser,SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(QString)),this,SLOT(kalkChange(QString)));
mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
mainLayout->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
subLayout = new QGridLayout;
subLayout->setEnabled(false);
subLayout->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
mainLayout->addWidget(chooser);
mainLayout->addLayout(subLayout);
//operationsLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
operationsLayout = new QGridLayout;
operationsLayout->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
baseOperators = new QGroupBox(tr("Base Operations"));
baseOperatorsLayout = new QGridLayout(baseOperators);
baseOperatorsLayout->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
specificOperators = new QGroupBox(tr("Specific Operations"));
specificOperatorsLayout = new QGridLayout(specificOperators);
specificOperatorsLayout->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
operationsLayout->addWidget(baseOperators,0,0);
operationsLayout->setAlignment(baseOperators,Qt::AlignLeft);
operationsLayout->addWidget(specificOperators,0,1);
operationsLayout->setAlignment(specificOperators,Qt::AlignLeft);
mainLayout->addLayout(operationsLayout);
setLayout(mainLayout);
//...
}
In another function I load the buttons inside the Layout of the QGroupBox, but I don't think the problem is here...

Why is the QScrollArea restricted in size?

To my custom widget, inherited from QWidget, I have added a QScrollArea like this:
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QWidget(parent)//MainWindow is a QWidget
{
auto *scrollArea = new QScrollArea(this);
auto *widget = new QWidget(this);
widget->setStyleSheet("background-color:green");
scrollArea->setWidget(widget);
scrollArea->setWidgetResizable(true);
scrollArea->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAsNeeded);
QVBoxLayout *parentLayout = new QVBoxLayout(widget);
this->setStyleSheet("background-color:blue");
for(int i=0;i<12;i++){
QHBoxLayout* labelLineEdit = f1();
parentLayout->addStretch(1);
parentLayout->addLayout(labelLineEdit);
}
parentLayout->setContentsMargins(0,0,40,0);
}
QHBoxLayout* MainWindow::f1()
{
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
QLabel *label = new QLabel("Movie");
label->setStyleSheet("background-color:blue;color:white");
label->setMinimumWidth(300);
label->setMaximumWidth(300);
layout->addWidget(label);
QLineEdit *echoLineEdit = new QLineEdit;
echoLineEdit->setMaximumWidth(120);
echoLineEdit->setMaximumHeight(50);
echoLineEdit->setMinimumHeight(50);
echoLineEdit->setStyleSheet("background-color:white");
layout->addWidget(echoLineEdit);
layout->setSpacing(0);
return layout;
}
This produces a window which looks like this:
The problem is, that I want the scrollArea to occupy the entire window, but it does not. It also doesn't get resized when I resize the window.
How could I fix this?
The problem is, that I want the scrollArea to occupy the entire
window, but it does not. It also doesn't get resized when I resize the window.
The reason is that you have not set any kind of layout to manage the positioning of your QScrollArea widget itself, so it is just being left to its own devices (and therefore it just chooses a default size-and-location for itself and stays at that size-and-location).
A simple fix would be to add these lines to the bottom of your MainWindow constructor:
QBoxLayout * mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
mainLayout->setMargin(0);
mainLayout->addWidget(scrollArea);

How to resize an expandable dialog?

I am trying to create an expandable Qt dialog application. The main layout is a QVBoxLayout. The top part has two views and a QPushButtonbutton. Clicking button will unfold the bottom widget which is initially hidden. In the bottom widget, there is another push button, which could fold (hide) the bottom widget. When the bottom widget fold/unfold, I expect the size of the dialog size to change as well.
But for some reason, the dialog size only increases when the bottom widget is unfolded. And never shrink back to (200, 100). Is there anything I missed?
Environment: Qt Creator 3.6.1; Based on Qt5.6.0 (MSVC2013 32bit); build on Mar 14 2016; revision d502727b2c
The code I am using :
Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
QDialog(parent),
ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView;
QTableView *table = new QTableView;
QPushButton *button_show = new QPushButton;
button_show->setText(tr("Show hidden panel"));
QHBoxLayout *layout_top = new QHBoxLayout;
layout_top->addWidget(tree);
layout_top->addWidget(table);
layout_top->addWidget(button_show);
QHBoxLayout *layout_bottom = new QHBoxLayout;
QTextEdit *editor = new QTextEdit;
QPushButton *button_hide = new QPushButton;
button_hide->setText(tr("Hide the bottom panel"));
g_pEditor = editor;
layout_bottom->addWidget(editor);
layout_bottom->addWidget(button_hide);
QWidget *panel = new QWidget;
panel->setLayout(layout_bottom);
QVBoxLayout *layout_main = new QVBoxLayout;
layout_main->addLayout(layout_top);
layout_main->addWidget(panel);
setLayout(layout_main);
panel->hide();
connect(button_show, &QPushButton::clicked
, panel
, [=]()
{
panel->setVisible(true);
button_show->setEnabled(false);
resize(200, 200);// not really working, the dialog size is able to increase without calling resize()
});
connect(button_hide, &QPushButton::clicked, panel, [=]()
{
panel->hide();
button_show->setEnabled(true);
resize(200,100);// does not shrink the dialog size*
});
resize(200,100);
}
Thanks for your help :)
Your should try setFixedSize(w, h) instead. This sets both, the minimum and the maximum size to (w, h). "This will override the default size constraints set by QLayout."

QT scrollbar does not appear when the size of the content exceeds the window size

I'm working with qt, and I'm creating dynamically the objects of the following pictures (each timeline is a widget).
The structure is that I'm adding this widget to a verticalLayout, that is the widget contained by the scrollArea.
But unfortunately the scrollbar does not appear when instead it should be present:
If I increase the size of the window, the content is shown correctly:
But since the number of timelines created inside the window can be greater than the screen size, I need a scrollbar. What could be the problem? that
EDIT: Some source code, the constructor of the main window: some code is not present because it is created with QTCreator
Schedule::Schedule(QString pathname, QWidget *parent) :
QWidget(parent),
ui(new Ui::Schedule)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
ui->scrollArea->setLayout(ui->pageLayout);
traceParser parser(pathname);
parser.readJson();
ArchitectureParameter arch = parser.getArchParam();
QString taskName;
for(std::list<QString>::iterator taskNameIter = parser.getTaskNames().begin();
taskNameIter != parser.getTaskNames().end(); taskNameIter++)
{
taskName = *taskNameIter;
TaskSchedule *t = new TaskSchedule(this , taskName, 80, arch.nCPU(), arch.maxTime(),
parser.getExecList(taskName), parser.getTaskSimpleEventsMap(taskName));
t->resize(600, t->height());
t->resize(600, t->width());
ui->pageLayout->addWidget(t);
}
}
Probably this happens because you set the layout on the scrollArea. Here is the fast snippet which works for me:
QWidget* testWidget = new QWidget;
QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout;
QStringList strings;
strings << "asdfasd" << "asdffdfd" << "asdvvsdf" << "asdfccasdf";
Q_FOREACH(QString string, strings){
TagButton* btn = new TagButton();
btn->setText(string);
layout->addWidget(btn);
}
testWidget->setLayout(layout);
QScrollArea* scrollArea = new QScrollArea;
scrollArea->setWidget(testWidget);
scrollArea->show();
Notice that I am setting the layout on the testWidget and then setWidget on scrollArea

Qt C++ Display new window centered on old window

I have QWidget with button. When button is pressed, show new smaller window (Qwidget too). I want then new window is centered horizontal and veritcal on main window. Code which display new window is:
QWidget *wdg = new QWidget;
QPushButton *closeBtn = new QPushButton("Close");
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(closeBtn);
wdg->setLayout(layout);
wdg->show();
wdg->resize(400,200);
Use the move slot. For example:
QPoint centerPoint = oldWidget->geometry()->center();
newWidget->adjustSize();
newWidget->move(centerPoint.x() - newWidget->width()/2, centerPoint.y() - newWidget->height()/2);
You may consider using frameGeometry() instead of geometry().

Hope that helps.
