    Hi there..

    I´m relatively new to QT and started with the Designer for a basic Layout and add additional, detailed Stuff via CPP.

    Now i got two Questions:

    1.)
    I want to have a View, where i can add Widgets that are layered above each other. Like a Map with different layers.
    This view should be put into a ScrollArea to be able to scroll, obviously.

    2.)
    I added a QColorDialog to a Dialog, that is shown, whenever a Button is clicked. Beside the Button is an empty Frame, that changes its Background Color via setStyleSheet.
    I now want to let a SIGNAL from ColorDialog trigger the Slot

    void Dialog_ProgramSettings::recolorPreview(QColor col)
    

    i tried:

    connect(dialogColor, SIGNAL(colorSelected()),this, SLOT(recolorPreview()));
    

    But always get the Output

    No such slot Dialog_ProgramSettings::recolorPreview()
    

    recolorPreview(QColor col) is inside the private slots of the Header file... so.. definitly there.. tried building with qmake, too..

    Can someone push me into the right Direction here, pls :)

    @BDC_Patrick said in Layered Widgets and ColorDialog Signals?:

    No such slot Dialog_ProgramSettings::recolorPreview()

    recolorPreview(QColor col) != recolorPreview()

    BTW: Your signal has a parameter.

        What exactly is the problem? How to use scroll view? How to put widgets over each other?
        Wouldn't it be better to use https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstackedwidget.html instead of putting widgets manually over each other?

          @jsulm But, a Stacked Widget puts the children into different pages, the user needs to switch between them..
          I want to make all Children visible above each other..

            Hi,

            Do you mean vertically aligned ?
            QScrollArea -> set a widget on it if not already provided by designer -> apply a vertical layout (QVBoxLayout) -> add your other widgets to that layout.

              @SGaist No.. I mean on top of each other..
              as if you build a tower of widgets..

              like a Tilemap with layers..

                I am not sure I see how you are going to implement user interaction with that.

                Can you provide a picture of the UI you want to achieve ?

                  @SGaist
                  This one is a good example:
                  alt text

                  and the TilED Mapeditor as well..
                  where the Tilemap has multiple layers, directly above each other.

                    It makes me think about the graphics view framework.

                    But what kind of widget do you want to put by layers ?

                      @SGaist the Tilemap just as example..
                      as for now, I need buttons and labels hovering the view below freely.

                        No, that's the case for QTabWidget
