No scrolling in ScrollArea

Alfie Anil

Hello everyone,
I have implemented a QScrollArea into a widget. However, When I add multiple data into the scroll area, it just shrivels the data together and doesn't allow for the scroll functionality. Here is the code the code I have used:


        while(query->next())
        {
            QString title = query->value(0).toString();
            qDebug() << title;
            titles.push_back(title);

            QString link = query->value(1).toString();
            qDebug() << link;
            links.push_back(link);

            QString image = query->value(2).toString();
            qDebug() << image;
            images.push_back(image);
        }


    } else{
        qDebug() << "Couldn't connect";
    }

    QScrollArea *scrollArea = new QScrollArea(this);
    QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;

    ui->mainWidget->setLayout(layout);
    layout->addWidget(scrollArea);

    QVBoxLayout *scrollLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    scrollArea->setLayout(scrollLayout);

    for(int i=0; i<10; ++i){
        QWidget *tempWidget = new QWidget;
        QHBoxLayout *tempLayout = new QHBoxLayout;

        tempWidget->setLayout(tempLayout);
        QLabel *label = new QLabel("Test");

        tempLayout->addWidget(label);
        scrollLayout->addWidget(tempWidget);
    }

Hi,

Because you are doing it wrongly. Your scrollLayout should be applied to a widget that you set on the QScrollArea.
