Adding QTableView into QFrame

[gaurav118]

hi.. i have made a separate source file containing QTableView and some other controls. My issue is when i am loading that widget in QFrame, internal QTableView is not adopting the size of parent container class(i.e., QFrame). Can any one help me what i might be doing wrong.?

Hi,

Are you properly using layouts in your custom widgets ?

[gaurav118]

Yes... Its comprising of a Vertical Layout that further has a horizontal layout and TableView

[jsulm]

@gaurav118 No, because your customTable does not have a layout...

[gaurav118]

@jsulm the controls are packaged in vertical layout

You see that red 🚫 on the left of customTable in the top right?
That means you did not set a layout on it. Right click on the background and layout->layout horizontally

Hi
The red layout you used is a floating one. its for inserting into
other layouts. As @VRonin says, you should apply a layout to custom table
to have red layout use all space available.

@mrjj @VRonin Thanx a lot buddy. i think its working now..:)

@gaurav118
super :)
While the red layouts are very tempting. The most used way to apply layout is
to right click and choose one from layout menu. To further subdivide
the layout into ""sections", the red ones can be used.

Instead of actually laying out customTable in MainWindow, i am trying to give it a sliding effect to populate the customTable object. Any help i can get?

Hi
You can use
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/animation-overview.html
for that.

@mrjj Thanks a lot... I am actually trying to figure it out. I am trying to change the height property of QFrame

Hi
If you need inspiration, this does a slide out using the animation framework.
https://github.com/chrisaverage/burger-menu
Check out
void BurgerMenu::toggle(bool checked)
note that this sample animates while in a layout.

@mrjj thanx... it was awesome. These Hamburger style menu is much common in Windows 10
