Hi,

Do you mean you want to put a QScrollArea inside a QGroupBox ?

Pranit Patil

I did but no effect.

@Pranit-Patil It is quite unusual to put scroll bars into a QGroupBox (I can't remember ever seen an application with such an interface). Why do you want to do this?

Pranit Patil

@jsulm my application need is like this only.
we have no of sensors which will add dynamically and we want to show all sensor in that group box so ..

@Pranit-Patil Then you should have a scroll area in the widget where this group box is, not inside the group box. So, the group box would get bigger when more elements will be inside and user will be able to scroll to access the whole group box.

sorry i didn't understand what your saying

jsulm

@Pranit-Patil You put your group box in some widget, right? Then put there your scroll area and put the group box in this scroll area. I never saw a group box with scroll bars inside, this is really not how it should work. The scroll bars should be in the parent widget of your group box.

If you have a list/table of uniform things (like in your case sensors) use QTableWidget (or model+view) to display them instead of creating a layout of unmanageable widgets
