Unsolved QPushbutton movable Dynamically
-
Hi,
There is no way to do as per my requirement, when user resizes app, then button has to change its position. -
Hi
resizeEvent(event) is the way to do it.
You just need to make sure then you do not react to the first resize events you get when app starts up. -
Hi,
I am using resizeevent , but my button is moving initially when app runs, but it have to move when I resize my gui.
void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
qDebug("ResizeEvent");
ui->pushButton->move(0,0);
QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event);
}
this is the way I am doing, any correction? -
That is fine. but you will also do on first resize
to avoid that, make some if statements
the event has both oldSize and newSixe to checkI cannot tell you what to write as i dont know
what the rules are to move the button.
At what sizes etc.You can also use a timer to only allowed after say 10 secs to
avoid doing it on first resize. -
Hi,
k, Assume my gui isof width and height 500,500, its resized to 400,400 then button has to change position, can u share sample code, I am not getting how to make
-
@Apeksha Just add a boolean variable to your class and set it to false in the resizeEvent:
MainWindow::MainWindow(...): firstTime(true) { ... } void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event) { qDebug("ResizeEvent"); if (!firstTime) { ui->pushButton->move(0,0); } else { firstTime = false; } QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event); }

Hi jsulm,
Thank you so much, its very helpful.
Again If i maximize my gui to original size, how to make button position to original position? -
@Apeksha I don't know who you're going to position this button. What is the logic for positioning it?
-
@jsulm Same thing I was confused, Now If my gui is of 500,500(width,height), If i resized it to some 300,400 then button position will change. Now my doubt is if gui is maximized i.e to original size(500,500), how to move buttonto original position?
-
@Apeksha
save coordinates -
you can just store its old position ?
QRect oldpos; // int the class
void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event) { qDebug("ResizeEvent"); if (!firstTime) { oldpos=ui->pushButton->geometry(); ui->pushButton->move(0,0); } else { firstTime = false; } QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event); }
-
@Apeksha I still don't understand why you position this button manually...
-
QRect oldpos; // int the class
void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
qDebug("ResizeEvent");
if (!firstTime) {
oldpos=ui->pushButton->geometry();
ui->pushButton->move(0,0);
} else {
firstTime = false;
}
QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event);
}Here we are saving old geometry, again where we set this geometry?
-
void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event) { qDebug("ResizeEvent"); if (!firstTime) { oldpos=ui->pushButton->geometry(); oldX = oldpos.X; oldY = oldpos.Y; ui->pushButton->move(0,0); } else { firstTime = false; ui->pushButton->move(oldX, oldY); } QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event); }
-
void MainWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
oldpos=ui->pushButton->geometry();
int oldx=oldpos.x();
int oldy=oldpos.y();
qDebug()<<"oldpos x is"<<oldx<<"oldpos y is:"<<oldy;
if (!firstTime) {
ui->pushButton->move(50,100);
}
else {
firstTime = false;
ui->pushButton->move(oldx,oldy);
}QMainWindow::resizeEvent(event);
}
But it's not working, button is not moving to old position again when gui is maximized.

@Apeksha said in QPushbutton movable Dynamically:
But it's not working, button is not moving to old position again when gui is maximized.
But that is impossible for it to know.
You must check for that situations then. and then call the
ui->pushButton->move(oldx,oldy);you can use isMaximized()
I wish i understood why you cant just use a layout :)
-
-
Not wrong as such, but you seem to except it can guess your thoughts :)
The resizeEvent is called when ever windows size has changes.
If you want to do anything , you must make the logic your self.
if you want to restore the button when maximized you can test with
isMaximized() to see if that is now. and if yes, then
move it back to old spot wtih ui->pushButton->move(oldx,oldy);The firstTime flag only fixed the situation that you didnt not want to move it on first resize (first time shown)
If you want to move it back then when maximized you need some code for that too :)
-
I have tried with ismaximized(), its not working.

@Apeksha
it always say false ? or in what way "not working"
