Adding a QX11EmbedContainer widget to a MainWindow

[noarrt]

I am trying to display a QX11EmbedContainer in a MainWindow in my project, however, it only displays when I use setCentralWidget.... when I create a Layout add it it doesn't show.

Any help would be very welcome. Thanks!

Hi,

It's normal, QMainWindow are not designed to have their layout changed (you should even get a warning on the console about that)

If you want to have several widget with each other on the QMainWindow, you can create a container widget where you set the layout and all the widgets you want, then set that container widget as central widget on your QMainWindow.

Hope it helps

Thanks,
That is what I am trying to do, I am also trying with just a widget with a layout instead of using the QMainWindow class, both cases don't work for displaying the QX11EmbedContainer

Did you try with QX11EmbedWidget ?
