Addition QCheckBoxes to QScrollArea

[Evgeny Siberia]

Hi. How correctly to do this?

QWidget materialContainer;
QVBoxLayout *materialLay = new QVBoxLayout(this);
materialContainer.setLayout(materialLay);
ui->_materialScrollArea->setWidget(&materialContainer);
foreach(NodePtr ptr, _materialModel->allItems())
{
    Material *entity = ptr.data()->item().value<Material*>();
    QCheckBox *chBox = new QCheckBox(entity->name());
    materialLay->addWidget(chBox);
}

Where did I go wrong? I need for each entity QCheckBox.

This is wrong. The ctor of QVBoxLayout already sets the layout to the given parent which you don't want to.

QVBoxLayout *materialLay = new QVBoxLayout(&materialContainer)

Apart from this - how long do you think does materialContainer live?

IIRC, setLayout re-"parents" the layout, so that after this line the materialContainer - QWidget is the new parent of materialLayout.
((this) is still not necessary and can be removed).

@Evgeny-Siberia

Change QWidget materialContainer to

QWidget* materialContainer = new QWidget;

then remove the & in setWidget and it should work (cant tell if the rest is ok).
