GUI help

mrjj

Hi
I meant the online version from
https://www.qt.io/download
(open source side)
(you will get a file named qt-unified-windows-x86-3.0.4-online.exe)
Then check the the mingw as shown.

caca0o

is that OK? or do I have only a mingw 5.3.0 32bit?

@caca0o
No no, that is WAYYY to much.
Just check the MinGW 5.3 one. Nothing else.
You can always add say Qt Chart or other optional modules should you need it.
Do not install UWP or MSVC.

hi, I would like to have one more question. when I want to have one panel in the mainwindow. where do i give pushbuttons.
to be bordered, what is the best choice? I want to make a little foundation for gui as soon as possible

Flotisable

@caca0o
I think you can take a look at QToolBar.

and also read Application Example to learn how to use it.

caca0o

so this example. is it going to be done in the toolbox?
or do I need to find another command?

@caca0o You can simply use a QVBoxLayout.
You can even find an example showing exactly what you want to do: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qvboxlayout.html

caca0o

maybe I'll find a solution. when I get back. and I do not want QStackedWidget or QTabWidget.
how do I make more of the same windows so the push button always opens a window on the same place?
I need to do several Widgets with similar content.

I can not find a solution

jsulm

@caca0o Did you check the link I posted?
You can create your own widget containing what ever you need and create several instances of it. Or do I misunderstand your question? Your description isn't clear.

caca0o

I'll show you the suggestion. I would like to see "pages 1-10" opened in the "window".

alt text

and I would like a link in the "window" to the next widget in this window (page3a)

alt text

jsulm

@caca0o And what is the problem? If you do not want to use QStackedWidget or QTabWidge then do the following: connect a slot to each button on the left side, in each slot create and show the widget this button is supposed to show and put this widget inside the window.

caca0o

the problem is when I make two widgets on the same site
it did this
alt text
widget 2 is in widget1 not in mainwindow

jsulm

@caca0o Well, if you put widget_2 under widget when it is like this.
That's why QStackedWidget and QTabWidge were suggested, but for some reason you don't want to use any of them...
With your approach you need to do it in a different way: you crate two separate widgets (outside of main window!), and then put the one which is needed at runtime into your main window.

caca0o

I apologize .. I found that Qstackedwidget is what I am looking for
then there are not the arrows at the top right

SGaist

What arrows ?

mrjj

@caca0o

then there are not the arrows at the top right

The small arrows to navigate the pages are ONLY shown in Designer.
When app is run, they are not shown as you are expected to handle the navigation
by other means. (your own buttons etc)

caca0o

ok thank you for all the help you have done for me. in this topic I have about the last question.
is it going to link QT with sql?

for example. if I wanted to make a login, fill in the name, year of birth, etc. and "select one item from 30" from database in sql. and then you open gui according to what you "select one item from 30"? if you disagree with the description in more detail

SGaist

Please, take the time to search the documentation. Qt provides its SQL module.
