Display a Personal Object (Draw a Circle) on QScrollArea & QGridLayOut

yczo

for(qint8 i= 0; i < 15;i++){
circle[i] = new ampel(this,1333,768);
circle[i]->show();

this does not work :-(

@yczo
ok, also try the resize(100,100)!

well u need to find out if its due not being paint or what the heck is going on.

Make small sample and insert you ampel there as
the only widget and see if u can make it show.

Normally its not issue to make it show. so its something really simple.

yczo

    circle[i] = new ampel(this,1333,768);
    circle[i]->show();
    circle[i]->resize(100,100);

don't works.
It could not be because the object handles another layer?

mrjj

@yczo

Impossible to say.
Maybe u cover it or maybe ur paint dont work.
You should test your custom widget in a test project where
NOTHING else could disturbed it.

That way u know if it can even paint itself.

ampel * circle = new ampel(this,1333,768);
circle->show();
circle->resize(100,100);

should be enough in test project.

Code do look fine as was as i can overview it.

@mrjj The next code works, but not into the QScrollArea, and invalidate it, the focus is blocked. (i have changed the object, for send the radius ).

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)

{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    setFixedSize(1333,768);


    const qint8 rad = 15;
    ampel *circle0[15];
    for(qint8 i= 0; i < 15;i++){  //<-------here show 15 circles
        circle0[i] = new ampel(this,1333,768,rad);
   //     circle[i]->show(); //not necesary
   //     circle[i]->resize(100,100); //resize, do not work
        circle0[i]->updatePos(rad*i,rad*i);
    }

    QGridLayout *grid = new QGridLayout();

    ampel *circle[15];
    QLineEdit *channel[15], *timeOut[15], *canID[15];

    for(qint8 i= 0; i < 15;i++){
        circle[i] = new ampel(this,1333,768,5); //<--------here do not show nothing
        circle[i]->show();
        circle[i]->resize(100,100);
        channel[i] = new QLineEdit();
        timeOut[i] = new QLineEdit();
        canID[i] = new QLineEdit();


        grid->addWidget(circle[i],i,0);
        grid->addWidget(channel[i],i,1);
        grid->addWidget(timeOut[i],i,2);
        grid->addWidget(canID[i],i,3);
    }

    ui->scrollContents->setLayout(grid);
  //  channel[2]->setText("prueba");
  //  timeOut[3]->setText("timeout");
}

hi
Ok, so now they show?
what u mean by focus is blocked?

yczo

@mrjj That I can not scroll down the slider of QScrollArea.
The circles shown outside QScroll area, but not inside

mrjj

@yczo said:

grid->addWidget(circle[i],i,0);

but you add to grid?
That grid is in scrollarea?
How can it be outside?
The other objects u add, they are inside?

yczo

@mrjj Yes, but don't shows. i think that the problem come from the way of generate the circle with absolute coordinates:

dc.drawEllipse(x,y,rad,rad);

x,y (absolute)

but i don't know another way, to make it.
Is There another method?

Regards

mrjj

@yczo
Hi it cant be absolute!
It will be relative to your self so the area
is 0,0, width, height !

You draw inside. so u cannot ! use global x,y
you must move whole object! and it draws internal from 0,0

so
dc.drawEllipse(x,y,rad,rad);
x,y can never be more than width / height :)

yczo

@mrjj
We have a small misunderstanding, the new program draw twice, 15 circles out QScroll and should draw another 15 inside, but the last, don't make, just draw the first 15 created on mainwindow

Greetings.

mrjj

ok so it does draw and all is as you except ?
except the last is not inside the layout/scrollbox?

Do u make these really big ?
new ampel(this,1333,768,5);

is it 1333 x 768 ???

yczo

@mrjj 1333x768 is the size of layout where is permitted to draw

mrjj

@yczo

but if u must draw that big, it means u make the
Widget so big ?

How big are the circle widgets?????

You can not draw outside the widget.

yczo

@mrjj Here is a hint: http://www.scriptscoop2.com/t/787129021050/qt-draw-inside-qscrollarea-in-a-qdialog.html

but i don't know how to:

Create another class which inherits QWidget. Override the paintEvent() method and to the painting you mention. Then, add the widget to the scroll area in your dialog.

MyDialog::MyDialog()
{
  QScrollArea *pScrl = new QScrollArea(this);
  pScrl->setWidget(new MyWidget(pScrl));
  ... // use a layout to put the scroll area in the dialog
}

To really make it useful you will need to resize the MyWidget instance to the size of the circle that you want to draw.

Please can anybody help me? With a example?

Greetings
