Create a drawer in QWidget

[saeid0034]

@SGaist so I shouldn't use any kind of layout for holding drawer, and position it manually..?
yeah it could work, but that way I need to handle every resize manually...
and what about the shadow when the drawer opened?

[SGaist]

Full size transparent widget.

However, what else should be shown on your application ?

[saeid0034]

@SGaist the ui is as simple as I showed in original post, its just a stacked widget at middle and the drawer beside it

[SGaist]

Just thought of QRubberBand

thank you but im not sure how the QRubberBand can help me here

[SGaist]

It allows for an easy to use translucent overlay.

oh yeah, interesting, can we set some kind of layout and widget inside it?

[SGaist]

It's a widget so yes.

@SGaist let me bring this old topic up, I wanted to try and use QRubberband as what I wanted, the drawing is simple as you said, but Im not sure how can I use it as an widget... can you help me a little?
thank you.

[SGaist]

Well, it is a widget, so you can do with it the same things a with a QWidget.

@SGaist oh ok, but tbh I can't see how it would be better, because mostly I need to do the same thing that I have to do in QFrame in QRubberBand too...
for example if I want to do it with A QFrame the steps would be

1- create a Frame but dont put it in any layout
2- manually set its position
3- handle resize event on it, so its resize with the gui

what I think is good way for it is, creating a empty frame as a placeholder (why? see the concept in first post)
then use that to move and resize the layoutless widget, and done.
the only problem that I currently have is how to resize the layoutless widget with animation, I mean if I want to use the normal way (I mean creating a QPropertyAnimation with Drawer as parent and minimumWidth as propertyName) it will only work when I want to expand the drawer, not the other way...
