[SOLVED] GUI Layering and Contents Changed by Button
-
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
Hello, I don't know what is the correct keyword for this. I want to create a GUI app which is like GUI on Windows Application Installer such as IDM or another. With same window, if I click Next button, the window still there but the contents change. What is the concept of this? I see similiar concept in graphic design as layering (see Photoshop/GIMP). And how can I implement this into my Qt GUI project? Should I make a frame on top of window and give some code on the button, so if I click the button the content of frame change? Any example or tutorial? Or just simply give me a clue.

And if it is impossible, can I make many window in one project? I see only one .ui file in my project and I can't add another. In Netbeans, Java, I can make many frames and link frame in button, so it mimics real Windows Application Installer. You can see what I point here: http://malsasa.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/otodidak-versi-1-dirilis/.
Thank you.

you setup your window as you like. For the part with the dynamic content you use a "QStackedWidget":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstackedwidget.html.
When the NEXT-button is clicked you use "QStackedWidget::setCurretnIndex()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstackedwidget.html#currentIndex-prop.In addition you can also use a "QStateMachine":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qstatemachine.html for easily handling the transitions from state to state. But ignore this advise for now if you don't know the concept for state machines yet.

Also you can use "QWizard":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qwizard.html

indeed...forgot about QWizard class.
This might be the most easiest way to go for you. -

Okay, I have tried it on my Qt Creator but I don't know what code to write. Any simple example for QStackedWidget usage? I have read some from googling results but I don't understand well.

And is there any simple example in QWizard? Thank you all!

Maybe language is the main problem between us, I am not native speaker. But the best part was, my question is SOLVED.
Just use QStackedLayout on a frame, create layers as many as I want on the QStackedLayout object, and change the index (setCurrentIndex) by button. The complete answer was in this thread: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewreply/138890.
Thank you, All.
