How to put QLabel over QWidget?

[DrageFabeldyr]

this is QWidget

setGeometry works, i've commented resizeEvent code i can see all 4 messages in video1

ok, the whole code:

#include <VLCQtCore/Common.h>
#include <VLCQtCore/Instance.h>
#include <VLCQtCore/Media.h>
#include <VLCQtCore/MediaPlayer.h>
#include <VLCQtCore/Audio.h>

#include "SimplePlayer.h"
//#include "ui_SimplePlayer.h"

SimplePlayer::SimplePlayer(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent), _media1(0), _media2(0), _media3(0), _media4(0)
{
    open_Local = new QPushButton;
    open_Local->setText("open_Local");
    open_Url = new QPushButton;
    open_Url->setText("open_Url");

    video1 = new VlcWidgetVideo();
    video2 = new VlcWidgetVideo();
    video3 = new VlcWidgetVideo();
    video4 = new VlcWidgetVideo();

    video1->setMinimumSize(440, 260);
    video2->setMinimumSize(440, 260);
    video3->setMinimumSize(440, 260);
    video4->setMinimumSize(440, 260);

    _instance1 = new VlcInstance(VlcCommon::args(), this);
    _instance2 = new VlcInstance(VlcCommon::args(), this);
    _instance3 = new VlcInstance(VlcCommon::args(), this);
    _instance4 = new VlcInstance(VlcCommon::args(), this);

    _player1 = new VlcMediaPlayer(_instance1);
    _player1->setVideoWidget(video1);
    _player1->setObjectName("_player1");
    _player2 = new VlcMediaPlayer(_instance2);
    _player2->setVideoWidget(video2);
    _player2->setObjectName("_player2");
    _player3 = new VlcMediaPlayer(_instance3);
    _player3->setVideoWidget(video3);
    _player3->setObjectName("_player3");
    _player4 = new VlcMediaPlayer(_instance4);
    _player4->setVideoWidget(video4);
    _player4->setObjectName("_player4");

    video1->setMediaPlayer(_player1);
    video2->setMediaPlayer(_player2);
    video3->setMediaPlayer(_player3);
    video4->setMediaPlayer(_player4);

    _player1->audio()->setMute(true);
    _player2->audio()->setMute(true);

seems i've found a problem:
each label think that its videoparent topleftcorner is (0, 0)

[kenchan]

can you post the SimplePlayer header please?

[DrageFabeldyr]

#ifndef SIMPLEPLAYER_H_
#define SIMPLEPLAYER_H_

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <VLCQtWidgets/WidgetVideo.h>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QGridLayout>
#include <QPushButton>

class VlcInstance;
class VlcMedia;
class VlcMediaPlayer;

class SimplePlayer : public QWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit SimplePlayer(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~SimplePlayer();
    QHBoxLayout *buttons_layout;
    QHBoxLayout *video_row1_layout;
    QHBoxLayout *video_row2_layout;
    QVBoxLayout *main_layout;

protected:
    void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event);

private slots:
    void openLocal();
    void openUrl();
    void reconnect();
    void have_connection();

private:
    VlcInstance *_instance1;
    VlcInstance *_instance2;
    VlcInstance *_instance3;
    VlcInstance *_instance4;

    VlcMedia *_media1;
    VlcMedia *_media2;
    VlcMedia *_media3;
    VlcMedia *_media4;

    VlcMediaPlayer *_player1;
    VlcMediaPlayer *_player2;
    VlcMediaPlayer *_player3;
    VlcMediaPlayer *_player4;

    QPushButton *open_Local;
    QPushButton *open_Url;

    VlcWidgetVideo * video1;
    VlcWidgetVideo * video2 ;
    VlcWidgetVideo * video3 ;
    VlcWidgetVideo * video4 ;

    QLabel *label1;
    QLabel *label2;
    QLabel *label3;
    QLabel *label4;

    QString url1;
    QString url2;
    QString url3;
    QString url4;

    int warn_w = 200; // warning width
    int warn_h = 40; // warning_height
};

#endif // SIMPLEPLAYER_H_

ok, by this changes in code:

    int x = video1->geometry().center().x();// - warn_w / 2;
    int y = video1->geometry().center().y();// - warn_h / 2;

    label1->setGeometry(x, y, warn_w, warn_h);
    label2->setGeometry(x, y, warn_w, warn_h);
    label3->setGeometry(x, y, warn_w, warn_h);
    label4->setGeometry(x, y, warn_w, warn_h);

i can see all 4 warnings over each video and all them at the bottom-right-corner, because x = 319 and y = 239
and of course if i get coordinates from main widget and put it into videowidget when top-left-corner is (0, 0) i wouldn't see it - it's beyond the borders

[kenchan]

Great i will see it a can build something like it. You probably need to map the coordinates

[kenchan]

What version of Qt are you using and what is the platform?

[DrageFabeldyr]

@kenchan win7x64 Qt5.7.1

[kenchan]

OK, your resize event should probably look something like this

label1->setGeometry(video1->rect().adjusted(video1->rect().width()/4,video1->rect().height()/4,-video1->rect().width()/4,-video1->rect().height()/4));
label2->setGeometry(video2->rect().adjusted(video2->rect().width()/4,video2->rect().height()/4,-video2->rect().width()/4,-video2->rect().height()/4));
label3->setGeometry(video3->rect().adjusted(video3->rect().width()/4,video3->rect().height()/4,-video3->rect().width()/4,-video3->rect().height()/4));
label4->setGeometry(video4->rect().adjusted(video4->rect().width()/4,video4->rect().height()/4,-video4->rect().width()/4,-video4->rect().height()/4));

[DrageFabeldyr]

my solution is:

    QRect videoRect = video1->geometry();
    label1->setGeometry(videoRect.width()/2 - warn_w/2, videoRect.height()/2, warn_w, warn_h);

for others just put 2, 3, 4 instead of 1 and it works, but again many thanks

[kenchan]

Good, glad you got it working.
