How to use QHeaderView in QScrollArea?

AlaaM

I have a QScrollArea, which includes a QGroupBox:

scrollArea = new QScrollArea(&widget);
groupBoxLayout = new QVBoxLayout();
groupBox = new QGroupBox();

//add buttons to the layout
groupBoxLayout->addWidget(buttons[i]);

groupBox->setLayout(groupBoxLayout);
scrollArea->setWidget(groupBox);

I'm trying to add a fixed header to the layout. A header that will always be visible no matter if I scroll down. So I did this:

header = new QHeaderView(Qt::Horizontal);
header->setSectionsMovable(false);
groupBoxLayout->addWidget(header);

before adding the buttons.

The header appears on top of the buttons in the layout but it's empty (of course - I didn't put anything in it).
When I scroll down, the header disappears (gets scrolled).
How do I get it to be fixed? Maybe it needs to not be a part of the scrollarea?

Thanks

Hello,

How do I get it to be fixed? Maybe it needs to not be a part of the scrollarea?

This would be my choice, yes. I'd put the header and the scroll area in a vertical layout (setting the stretches to 0 for the header and 1 for the scroll area) and take it from there.

Kind regards.
