Failing to add a QListView inside a QWidget

Stoned Jesus

I am facing an issue related to displaying widgets. I have a QWidget inside which I wanna display a QListView. To illustrate further, here is the scenario:

I have a QWidget which I am adding to a vertical layout first. Then I have a class ClipWidget which inherits from QWidget. By using QVBoxLayout, I am setting the layout of this Widget as follows:

@QWidget *pListWidget = new QWidget(this);
QWidget *pWidget = new QWidget(this);
QVBoxLayout *playoutwid = new QVBoxLayout(pWidget);
playoutwid->setSpacing(0);
playoutwid->addWidget(pListWidget)

m_pClipWidget = new ClipWidget(pListWidget);
QWidget *pClip = new QWidget();
QVBoxLayout *playout = new QVBoxLayout(pClip);
playout->setSpacing(0);
m_pClipWidget->setFixedHeight(120);
m_pClipWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Fixed);
playout->addWidget(m_pClipWidget)@

If you notice, I am passing the QWidget object in my ClipWidget class as follows:

@m_pClipWidget = new ClipWidget(pListWidget);@

I have fixed the height of m_pClipWidget and I have set the width as expanding. With this my intention is to have this fixed m_pClipWidget inside a QWidget pListWidget.

Now When I create an instance of ClipWidget, the constructor executes the following statements:

@m_pSecondaryListView = new BinListView(this);
QGridLayout *pgridlayout = new QGridLayout(this);  
pgridlayout->addWidget(m_pSecondaryListView);@

Here BinListView is a class which inherits from QListView. With this approach, I am looking forward to display ClipWidget inside the pListWidget but when I execute the code, it doesn't display.

Ideally I should get a BinListView with the fixed height of 120 and expandable width inside a QWidget. Am I missing something???

Please help :)

Okay, first of all: Don't mix both!

QListWidget is a simple version of QListView for people, who don't need the whole model/view functions or don't want to study that. So use QListView or QListWidget :)

Both inherts QWidget (in any way) and can be added in a layout.

Thanks Serenity.

I understand what you are trying to say. Actually My intention is to use QWidget and let my ListView be inside it :)

You already have things, but not in proper place. Simply do like this

@ClipWidget(QWidget * parent = 0)
: QWidget(parent)
{
m_pSecondaryListView = new QListView(this);
QGridLayout *pgridlayout = new QGridLayout(this);

m_pSecondaryListView->setEditTriggers(QListView::NoEditTriggers);
pgridlayout->addWidget(m_pSecondaryListView);

}@

@ClipWidget * m_pClipWidget = new ClipWidget();
m_pClipWidget->setFixedHeight(120);
m_pClipWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Fixed);
m_pClipWidget->show();@

Thanks Santosh. But if you read the question, I want to add this "CLIPWIDGET" inside my QWidget "pListWidget". Your answer will display the ClipWidget with the fixed height oly.

Ok,
@QWidget *pListWidget = new QWidget;
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(pListWidget);

ClipWidget * m_pClipWidget = new ClipWidget();
m_pClipWidget->setFixedHeight(120);
m_pClipWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Fixed);

layout->addWidget(m_pClipWidget);

pListWidget->show();@
