General and Desktop

Okay, now I have got something to work with a custom QWidget and QListWidget. I am showing the QWidget as a popup whenever I need it to show suggestions on a QLineEdit. Only issue now is that the QLineEdit blinking cursor doesn't show up whenever the popup is open. I have changed the FocusPolicy of the popup widget but still no luck. Is there any way to get the cursor back to the QLineEdit ?

Hi,

The answer depends partly on what your application does.
For example, a text editor will have an undo stack per document. Same for a painting application.
Taking the painting application example, would you need one global stack for the document or one per tool you are using ? Both.
There's no single universal answer to your question as it depends highly about the operations you are doing, how far does undoing go, etc.

@K-a-r-l-l-z-y Please provide more information: how did you deploy your app?
On Windows you should use https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-deployment.html

@muhammad15 On the importance of naming things correctly and using typing in Python:

preview_dialog.paintRequested.connect(custom_print)

The paintRequested signal has a QPrinter parameter not a QPainter.

So declaring

def custom_print(printer: QPrinter):

Would have already helped you understand where your issue came from.

I solved the problem by using the import QtWebEngine.ControlsDelegates in the main.qml. This also creates the directory .\qml\QtWebEngine\ControlsDelegates during the build.
This directory contains the QML modules TouchHandle.qml and TouchSelectionMenu.qml. This prevents the application from crashing.

@JacobNovitsky hi,
you can see also this article: https://asmaloney.com/2013/11/code/converting-between-cvmat-and-qimage-or-qpixmap/ maybe it helps you.

@aran
I know nothing about this, but if you want to replace calling that command its source is at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-utils/-/tree/main/wayland-info?ref_type=heads, so you could borrow the bits you need?

https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/41101-QMdiArea-and-adding-sub-window

try using setWindowState(Qt::WindowMaximized) on the sub window instance it self :
m_mdiArea->addSubWindow(Editor)->setWindowState(Qt::WindowMaximized) ;

That worked in Qt in 2006, so I imagine it's the same two decades later...? :)

Effectively, yes. Your linked page is referring to an embedded version of the standalone Qt Designer application present in Qt Creator as "Qt Widgets Designer". They both produce .ui files describing a UI.

@sven1991 Besides the good suggestions from @JonB and @hskoglund , I also feel that your animation looks more like a QProgressBar than a QSlider. Why would you need a slider with transparent handle and sub-page?
But even with QProgressBar, the radius problem is still as the same as QSlider.

Shadow build directories. Here is the CMake version for a simple program: identical source, two different binaries, no cross-contamination.

@markleo said in Apart from the modules provided by the official website, are there any other third - party Qt modules? If so, is there a central repository similar to npmjs.org?:

third - party Qt modules

What are third-party Qt modules?!
Modules not made by Qt devs and published in the official Qt releases are not "Qt"...

Since Qt is still just a C++ GUI framework and still not its own programming language like JavaScript, there are thousands of projects made by users/contributors on GitHub and similar sites, which work with or add something to Qt... custom widgets, functions or just code snippets...

Edit:
What @ChrisW67 is referring to is what I meant..."extensions" like QxORM can be integrated because of Qt's C++ API... but so does every C++ library work with your C++ project

This issue has been resolved in version 6.8! Thank you for your attention!

@csab6597 said in QColorDialog broken becaus of new Windows 11 style spin buttons:

Well ok, I definitely expected the final fix to be resizing the spin buttons such that they stack vertically again, as it was before 6.7.

No, the windows11 style places them the way it is.

So we will now have different spin buttons per operating system,

I don't see a problem here - windows 11 looks different than macos, kde or gnome. If you want the same style for every os then hard-code it to fusion style.

I think you can do this with a so called shell hook library.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winmsg/about-hooks

See the part about monitoring messages. When a new window is created a WM_CREATE message is posted to the window's event queue.

@Pl45m4 said in Render a widget on top of others at runtime:

What do you mean by "on top"? As separate window? What's the point of the stacked widget then?
Why don't you just switch the stacked widget page to show your game widget?!

From what I understand this is meant as a non-modal popup/overlay. Everything doesn't have to be in the same plane in a UI, overlap is sometime wanted.

@franco-amato How is m_gameWindow created?
If you want to show it on top of m_ui->mainContainer, just create it with mainContainer as the parent. Don't add it to a layout or the QStackedWidget. The mapTo shouldn't be necessary since its position would be relative to its parent. raise shouldn't be needed if its added the the container last.

@JacobNovitsky
Images are shown on QLabels. Use those as the widgets you add to the FlowLayout.

@Cobra91151 thank you，I have reinstalled some dependencies according to the steps on the official Qt website, and this issue has been resolved. Thank you very much. The main missing component was the LLVM that you mentioned.

@mackowy said in Open source and they obligations for personal use.:

If I want to use it for my own personal, non-commercial use, without publishing anything, can i simply ignore staff like this and enjoy for free?

As long as you dont violate (L)GPLv3, yes...

does it force me to publish?

No, feel free to contribute or just enjoy using Qt.
It's about the whole open source community not about every single individual :)

Btw through posting this here you are already contributing in some way...

@Christian-Ehrlicher Yes, it is window style show, when linux the arrow is in Header Text right, how to set to arrow to right under window system? Thanks.
