QVBoxLayout over QLabel ?

[cpper]

Is there a way to display a QVBoxLayout which includes widgets as QPushbutton QCheckbox over a QLabel which inludes a QPixmap ?

Hi,

Do you want a widget with an image background ? If so, the simple way would be through a style sheet using background-image

Hope it helps.

@SGaist Not really, sorry I wasn't clear enough.

I have a QLabel which displays a QPixmap. Over the QLabel(in the foreground / "at the top") I'd like to display a vertical layout(consisting of a button and a checkbox, if it matters).

Not sure I understand but...

QPushButton* pb = new QPushButton("foo");
QCheckBox* cb = new QCheckBox("bar");
QLabel* label = new QLabel();
label->setPixmap("bazz.png");

QVBoxLayout* lay = new QVBoxLayout();
lay->addWidget(pb);
lay->addWidget(cb);
lay->addWidget(label);

Since my mad paint skills are far better than my English, I'll try to express my wish trough a picture. As you can see, the QLabel is in the background and QVBoxLayout in the foreground. This is what I'm trying to achieve.

If I guess the goal of your application correctly, you should rather consider the Graphics View framework. A QGraphicsPixmapItem and a QGraphicsWidgetItem on top and you'll likely have less trouble implementing animations.
