@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".

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

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.

caca0o

and is it possible to download SQL directly from qt?
or do I have to download my sql?

@caca0o said in GUI help:

That's really not clear. Download what ?

caca0o

is some QT SQL? or I have to download SQL on their official websites?

SGaist

There's no "Qt SQL". As written before, Qt has the SQL module which provides plugin for various database systems available like PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL etc. Taking a look at the module documentation, and more specially the SQL Database Drivers chapter would have answered that question.

By the way, it's Qt, QT stands for Apple's QuickTime which is likely not what you want to use.

caca0o

ok. but I can not find a file to download so I can create the db in it

SGaist

Because it's up to you to setup your system with PostgresSQL, MySQL or whatever database system you want/need that is supported by Qt.

SQLite doesn't required any external stuff as it's using a file for the database itself.

caca0o

ok I understand it. of course, I can insert db from SQLite into GUI and qt
I hope I do not have much questions
