Setting contentMargins for a QScrollArea?

[Binary91 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to set contentMargins to a QScrollArea, so that its corresponding QWidget is displayed with a specific distance to the QScrollArea itsself.

The code:

    this->saGroupContainer = new QScrollArea;
    this->saGroupContainer->setContentsMargins(10,10,10,10); // <-- doesn't have any effect
    this->saGroupContainer->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Base);
    this->wGroupContainer = new QWidget;
    this->wGroupContainer->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Dark);
    this->layoutGroupContainer = new QHBoxLayout;
    this->layoutGroupContainer->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetMinAndMaxSize);
    this->wGroupContainer->setLayout(this->layoutGroupContainer);
    this->saGroupContainer->setWidget(this->wGroupContainer);

The QWidget of the QScrollArea has a dark backgroundRole and I'd like to have it shown with a distance of 10px to the QScrollArea border. Unfortunatelly, setting contentMargins to the QScrollArea has no effect. Is there a reason for it?
Instead, setting contentMargins to the QWidget is possible, but that is not the wished behaviour since I'd like to show the QWidget itsself with a specific distance to the Frame. Maybe it is true, that setContentsMargins() only has an effect to layouts? If yes, how could I manage this here since QScrollArea has not the expected behaviour I'd like it to have when I add a layout to it (don't even know if that was correct style to set a layout to a QScrollArea...).

Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi,

No, QScrollArea use is through setWidget, so it's rather un that one that you should do your customization.

@SGaist Thank you, it works now with applying the settings to the QWidget.
