General and Desktop

Thanks a lot for the replies! Thinking about this more, I came up with this "model", please correct me if I'm wrong: If Qt doesn't open some "background" threads on its own, there is only one thread dealing with the GUI (in my code). Thus, no race condition can happen since only one method (whether one of mine or Qt's internal stuff) can be executed at the time within one thread. In that sense using QTimer or sending an event into the queue makes no difference since once the signal is delivered to a slot for processing no other event will be handled (as we are in the same thread)? Or is there more to this story? (currently reading the article :))

Yes, i've just installed k-lite codec pack, and this still doesn't work. Do you have any example of working "avi" VideoPlayers? Thanks :)

I am just wondering what you are trying to achieve at all. To me grids of buttons filled from a database bring back scary memories of - dare I say it? - calendars. Perhaps a button is not what you need for your UI at all...

This "FAQ":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_dynamically_switch_between_languages_in_my_application_using_e.g_ contains a complete example that illustrates how you can implement dynamic translation. You can follow the setup from that example to see if that helps getting the translation to work.

The problem was solved by removing all @ self.layout.setSizeConstraint(QtGui.QLayout.SetNoConstraint)@ and by adding a @ self.dashboard.label.setSizePolicy(QtGui.QSizePolicy.Preferred, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Ignored)@ just before the animation starts.

If there are any basic questions which prevent you from understanding most of the documentation feel free to ask. That's way better than having tons of specific questions and stumbling from one problem to another.

Thanks for advice:) I heard about QStringList but I had never an opportunity to use it. However, I'll check QStringList out and mayby I'll make a switch in my project :)

Hugues fixed this in the master branch. Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the notice, that was why it didn't work. By make the page transparent, I mean have a hole inside the QToolBox. And actually not a "hole" like 100% transparent but I would to set the transparency. For example, if you set the stylesheet with: @QToolBox QWidget[myProperty="true"] { background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0,20); }@ You'll see some green and the transparency are here too BUT still with the gray in background. Like if there is another widget to set!

Glad to hear the problem is solved. You can "close" the thread by editing your very first post and add "[Solved]" to the beginning of the subject.

Oh sherbert sorry - i copied and pasted my code without thinking. This was me just playing around to see if i can try and sort the problem. But i see rokemoon has helped with the size problem.. I'll try that - thanks!!

Yes, you can get hold of the internal layout of the QMainWindow by calling layout() on it.

[quote author="mehoggan" date="1313658650"]Okay thanks for the input. So this behaves "somewhat" like MFC, in the since that the message pump and the WinMain site inside a DLL. Thank you for the clarification.[/quote] yep The message pump is your qApp->exec() call.

Thanks again for the reply, I've moved the ::open(..)/::close(...) calls to a class outside my capture class (so doesn't inherit from Qthread) and now the close call is executing correctly. Don't really understand that but maybe I'll revisit one day! Thanks for the QImage buffer tip, I need to pick up as many of these as I can now...

You can set the items in the even columns to read only like this: @ QTableWidgetItem *twItem = tableWidget->item(3, 4); twItem->setFlags(Qt::ItemIsEnabled | Qt::ItemIsSelectable); // if you do not need selectable items this is ok: twItem->setFlags(Qt::NoItemFlags); @ Or set the flags during creation of the items, of course.

i solved it with the following code. @QMainWindow::centralWidget()->layout()->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);@

may be you can try setVerticalScrollBarPolicy() setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy().

Thanks, I will try that!

I don't know if I made myself clear, but if you need further help, just ask.
