Adding custom widget as QListWdgetItem not allowing update of widget member label.
-
I have a custom widget which consists of a label, progressbar, checkbox. On a trigger, I want to add the widget to a QListWidget. The widget appears clipped on the bottom and my slot won't allow updating of the label. In line 13 of MainWindow.cpp, if I don't call new on the custom widget the label updates but only appears once and successive triggers insert only a blank line after the first.

Hi,
Three things I can see:
ctls is never shown nor layed out but will have it's value updated (it also is a memory leak since you don't destroy it)
Your item widget will never receive any values since they are not connected
If they where connect, they would all show the same value
-
ctls does show. It's a UI file. It IS layed out as it exists in it's own designer file.
@
connect(this, SIGNAL(UpdateInfo(int)), ctls, SLOT(WriteInfoNumber(int)));
@Doesn't the line above connect things?
Also I fixed the clipping
@
item->setSizeHint(QSize(300, 35));

Yes, it connects your MainWindow to ctls and only to ctls

OK, but is that related to only displaying a single row of the widget? Does my sender need to be the QListWidget?
