adapting scrollarea when you expand or decrease intern widget

[Albator]

I added it from the mainwindows.ui design interface and drop the widgets in the scroll area.

@Albator
I don't know what code that generates. Did that create a "holding" QWidget to drop your widgets onto? Did you put a layout onto that "holding" widget when you added your sub-widgets? Also what about the setWidgetResizable() setting? Did you look at the SO link?

1-
when i create a scroll area with the design interface I don't know how to look at the code it created.
2-

3-

4-

That stuff look about right.
The SO (StackOverflow) link was the

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12781407/how-do-i-resize-the-contents-of-a-qscrollarea-as-more-widgets-are-placed-inside may be useful reading for you.

I think you should read that, though I believe you have done the necessary.

//ui->scrollAreaWidgetContents->update();

I think you should try ui->scrollAreaWidgetContents->adjustSize() in case that resolves.

I admit at this point I'm not sure! I try playing about with scroll settings till they work :) I don't know why you are getting a horizontal scrollbar but not a vertical one.

I'll look at the SO link ;)
then it's just in case I enlarge the widgets during the application run with the "grow graph" button.

By setting the minimunsize parameter of my graph widgets to very wide and very high without using the buttons, the scroll area works fine so it's probably possible.

parameters widgets graph :

and the result :

the problem it's just when i use the resize with button.

i will try with adjustsize :)

EDIT :
adjustsize() doesn't work

I might be wrong but it looks like you are not using a layout on scrollAreaWidgetContents_2, are you ?

[Albator]

of course i do

Then maybe another silly question: are you sure your widgets are put in that layout ?

[Albator]

to be sure I did a test I changed the shape layout to see if the widgets would follow the modification.
And yes if I change the layout vertically my widgets adapt and the same for other formats, which proves that the widgets are in this layout.
