How to use a QScrollArea

[HenkCoder]

Hello, I want to put a QScrollArea with an Horizontal ScrollBar but I don't know how to do it.
Can someone explain it to me?

@HenkCoder

Just add your widget to your scrollArea. The scrollBar should appear automatically.

@Pl45m4
I tried but, no scroll bar and it doesn't resize :/

Where is that widget? It looks like a toolBar?
How you've added your content?

[HenkCoder]

@Pl45m4 they are pushbuttons, and I dragged them in the scrollarea

Where? In QtDesigner?

Try setWidget(yourButton)

[HenkCoder]

@Pl45m4 Nope, in Qt Creator. Ok I'll try.

@HenkCoder If you are going to add multiple items then do the following:

• Add to QScrollArea.
• Place the QPushButton (or other widgets) inside the QScrollArea
• Add a layout inside the QScrollArea.

@eyllanesc Hey, how do I add a layout inside of it?

@HenkCoder kindly be patient and study about Layout management here.

Practice the examples, you will understand better.
For example:

class FirstApp(QWidget):
         def__init__(*write your function*)
Thereafter, for your scrollarea,

grid = QGridLayout()
gbox = QGroupBox()
gbox.setCheckable(True)
vbox = QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(grid)
grid.addWidget(gbox)
gbox.setLayout(vbox)

surname = QLabel("Surname:")
vbox.addWidget(surname)

scroll = QSCrollArea()
scroll.setVerticalScrollPolicy(...)
scroll.setHorizontalScrollPolicy(...)
scroll.setResizePolicy(True)
scroll.setWidget(gbox)
grid.addWidget(scroll)
