scrollbar in QGroupBox

[raven-worx]

@Apeksha said in scrollbar in QGroupBox:

Actually my requirement is, I have to add scrollbar to groupbox and it should visible when it is minimized.

yes i got that. And again, this is what QScrollArea already does by default.
So maybe you can post a screenshot of your issue.

Maybe you want to use scrollArea->setWidgetResizeable( true ) but still set a minimum size of the content-widget inside the scroll area. When the scroll area gets smaller than the minimum size the scrollbars will be shown. If it is bigger then the specified minimum-size the widget will be resized and use the extra space.

Is that what you want?

Hi raven-worx,

QHBoxLayout *ConfigurationLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
QScrollArea* scrollArea = new QScrollArea();
scrollArea->setStyleSheet("QScrollArea {background-color:gray;}");
ConfigurationLayout->addWidget(ui->configurationBox);////ui->configurationbox is QGroupBox.
mainBoxLayout->addLayout(ConfigurationLayout);

This is correctway or anything wrong I am doing.

@Apeksha
you dont add any widget to the scroll-area, i dont see any group-box widget and i don't see any setWidgetResizable() call.
Hard to say if you are doing all right, when you just post half of the code.

QHBoxLayout *ConfigurationLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
QScrollArea *scrollArea = new QScrollArea;
scrollArea->setStyleSheet("QScrollArea {background-color:gray;}");
// ui->scrollArea->widgetResizable(true);
// scrollArea->setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
// scrollArea->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
scrollArea->setWidget(ui->configurationBox);
ConfigurationLayout->addWidget(ui->configurationBox);
scrollArea->setWidgetResizable(true);
// ConfigurationLayout->addWidget(ui->scrollArea);
mainBoxLayout->addLayout(ConfigurationLayout);

@Apeksha
so still no setMinimumSize() call...
Beside that, are there any questions left from your side?!

Hi

I am little bit confusing, Can you please post lines of code.

@Apeksha

QWidget* contentWidget = ...
     contentWidget->setMinimumSize( 500,500 );

QScrollArea *scrollArea = new QScrollArea;
    scrollArea->setStyleSheet("QScrollArea {background-color:gray;}");
    scrollArea->setWidget( contentWidget );
    scrollArea->setWidgetResizable(true);

QVBoxLayout* groupBoxLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
      groupBoxLayout->addWidget( scrollArea );
QGroupBox* groupBox = ...
      groupBox->setLayout( groupBoxLayout );

[Apeksha]

QHBoxLayout *ConfigurationLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
QScrollArea *scrollArea = new QScrollArea;
scrollArea->setStyleSheet("QScrollArea {background-color:rgb(215,214,213);}");
scrollArea->setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAsNeeded);
scrollArea->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAsNeeded);
scrollArea->setWidget(ui->configurationBox);
//ConfigurationLayout->addWidget(ui->configurationBox);
scrollArea->setWidgetResizable(true);
scrollArea->setMinimumSize(811,50);
ConfigurationLayout->addWidget(scrollArea);
mainBoxLayout->addLayout(ConfigurationLayout);

Do you have a question?? Does it work for you or not?!

No, when I minimized, scrollbar is not coming.
