Preferences dialog: how to create layers of controls?

PaulR

Hi

I am using Qt Creator to create a Preferences window. I have a TreeWidget on the left with the sections and I was planning on having a bunch of GroupBoxes on top of each other containing the various options/controls and showing/hiding them as necessary.

Everything would work, but I have realised that dropping one GroupBox on top of another automatically makes it a child of one behind it.

What can I do to stop this happening?

Thanks

Paul

Hi and welcome to devnet,

If you want them all visible then put them in a vertical layout otherwise, you can put them in a QStackedLayout or a QStackedLayout.

@SGaist : Doh! It was right there in front of me, thanks for pointing it out! QStackedLayout it is!
