QT separator widget? - c++

Question

Greetings all,
Is there any widget to separate two QWidgets and also give full focus to a one widget.
As shown in following figure ?
Thanks in advance,
umanga

Answer 1

How about QSplitter?
QWidget 1, for exmaple, QListView. QWidget 2 is a combination of QWidgets (the left part is simple QPushButton with show/hide caption, and the right part another widget)... All you have to do, is to hide your QWidget2 when user clicked on QPushButton...
If you need an example, I may post it.

main.cpp
#include "splitter.h"
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
splitter w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
splitter.h
#ifndef SPLITTER_H
#define SPLITTER_H
#include <QtGui/QDialog>
class splitter : public QDialog
{
Q_OBJECT;
QWidget* widget1;
QWidget* widget2;
QPushButton* button;
public:
splitter(QWidget *parent = 0, Qt::WFlags flags = 0);
~splitter();
private slots:
void showHide(void);
};
#endif // SPLITTER_H
splitter.cpp
#include <QtGui>
#include "splitter.h"
splitter::splitter(QWidget *parent, Qt::WFlags flags)
: QDialog(parent, flags)
{
QApplication::setStyle("plastique");
QListView* listView = new QListView;
QTableView* tableView = new QTableView;
button = new QPushButton("Hide >");
widget1 = new QWidget;
QHBoxLayout* w1Layout = new QHBoxLayout;
w1Layout->addWidget(listView);
w1Layout->addWidget(button);
widget1->setLayout(w1Layout);
widget2 = new QWidget;
QHBoxLayout* w2Layout = new QHBoxLayout;
w2Layout->addWidget(tableView);
widget2->setLayout(w2Layout);
QSplitter *mainSplitter = new QSplitter(this);
mainSplitter->addWidget(widget1);
mainSplitter->addWidget(widget2);
connect(button, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(showHide()));
QVBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
mainLayout->addWidget(mainSplitter);
setLayout(mainLayout);
}
splitter::~splitter()
{}
void splitter::showHide(void)
{
if (widget2->isVisible())
{ // hide
widget2->setVisible(false);
button->setText("< Show");
}
else
{ // show
widget2->setVisible(true);
button->setText("Hide >");
}
}
