How to do such a layout ?

remmos

Hey,

I want an Application with a layout like this:

!http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/6606/bsp.png(layout)!

What's the best way to do this within a QGraphicsScene ?

The MenuBar should "animate" (increase/decrease) it's height [visible/hidden] and animate MenuBar-Items (animate out etc)
Same for the Footer-Bar

The "Bars" should always be 100% width and a pixel value of height ...

I tried QGraphicsLinearLayout like this:

QGraphicsLinearLayout[Vertical]---+--- QGraphicsLinearLayout[Horizontal] (<= MenuBar)
+-- QGraphicsLinearLayout[Horizontal] (<= Content)
-- QGraphicsLinearLayout[Horizontal] (<= Footer)

But then my parent widget (a QGraphicsWidget subclass) got broken and i've no idea why
(The parent widget is for a grey background color because the header-bar should have rounded corners )

Hope someone have any idea

Ok, sorry I got it managed ;)

But what’s the best way for resizing the menubars height, because it’s geometry is controlled by the layout ?

Should I call “setPreferedHeight(height-1)” in a loop or is there a better way ?

if u can use a vertialLayout - do it :)
@QWidget *mainWidget = new YourWidget();
QVBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout();

QHBoxLayout *header = new QHBoxLayout();
header->addSpacer(new QSpacerItem (1, 20, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Preferred);
QHBoxLayout *content = new QHBoxLayout();
content->addSpacer(new QSpacerItem (1, 1, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
QHBoxLayout *footer = new QHBoxLayout();
footer->addSpacer(new QSpacerItem (1, 20, QSizePolicy::Minimum, QSizePolicy::Preferred);

mainLayout->addLayout(header);
mainLayout->addLayout(content);
mainLayout->addLayout(footer);

mainWidget->setLayout(mainLayout);@

but better use a UI
