Re: Scroll area not showing the vertical scroll bar

@saia Please use short titles for your threads and describe your problem in the body of the message, not in the title!
Provide more information like Qt version and platform and relevant code.

In the thread you linked the issue was solved - did you check the suggested solution?

By using Qt designer I have created scroll area and inside the scroll area I have give group box.. inside that group box I have added lot of elements but vertical scroll bar is not working.. even it is not visible.

Unless that group box is larger than the available client area of the QScrollArea then this is expected behaviour. Just adding a lot of elements to the group box does not tell us anything about its size, nor does it guarantee that the QGroupBox grew to accommodate the content rather than truncating or otherwise producing a broken layout.

Post some code (use the </> tool) and screen shots that actually display the problem you think you have.

@ChrisW67 I have tried by giving group box height is greater than the Qscroll Area.. eventhough it is not creating the verticalscrollBar..Please find the below my code# -- coding: utf-8 --

@saia Please format your code properly, especially if you use Python as indentation is part of the syntax.

saia

@jsulm That is just converted from ui to py file.. it is working fine.. Actually I designed the GUI in QT designer and then converted here.

jsulm

@saia Do you think somebody will format all this code correctly if he/she want to understand and run it? You are asking for help, so you should provided needed information in proper way.

saia

@jsulm I am sorry jsulm..I will explain you what I am expecting here is.. ScrollArea is working fine for Tablewidget. ScrollArea is not working for groupBox.. In this group box I have added the elements which exceeds the height of the scrollArea. Here it is scrollArea is not working. Suggest me what should I do now.. I converted ui to py file.. When I am pasting here.. it is missing indentation. Suggest me what should I do now..

@saia
When you paste blocks of code look at the "toolbar" and hover the icons to find Code. It looks like </>. Or just put line of ``` (3 backticks) above and below any blocks of code text.

saia

@JonB Thanks for your quick response.. I got the answer now.. My approach here is when we add the group box inside the QscrollArea. we have to give the minimum height which should be greater than the QScrollArea then automatically we will get the verticalscrollBar..
