widget overlapping using layout

[Bharth]

hi guys,,suggest me to solve this problem
1.I want to add 2 sub widgets in this root widget.
2.second sub widget is up to first sub widget.
3.We have loading widget in each ui file.
4.loading widget is overlapped above other sub widgets.
I want to add like this,in this layout mode??
I want to add such above by applyiing layout because our app is small in high resolution coms,To fix this, we must make resizable app and apply layout?

hi @Bharth ,

As far as I know, there's only one way to stack widgets on top of each other, while using a layout.

That is QGridLayout
the addWidget functions allows you to place multiple widgets inside the same Cell and all will be effected by the Layout and it's resizing mechanism.

However this is a c++-code only way. AFAIK you can not do this via the Designer-Plugin.

Otherwise, you'll have to override the resizeEvent- function of the parent widget and manually adjust the other widgets in that slot.

[SGaist]

QStackedLayout comes to mind to have the widgets on top of each others.

i got solution thanks for your reply
i used resizeEvent function

in the constructor added below 4 lines
Qsize window = this->size();
la=new QLabel(this);
la->setStylesheet("background-color:red");
la->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
la->setText("testing");

Void MindowWindow::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
QSize window=thia->size();
la->setMinimumWidth(window.width());
la->setMinimumHeight(window.width());
la->setMaximumWidth(window.width());
la->setMaximumHeight(window.width());
QMainwindow::resizeEvent(event);
}

@Bharth Is your label still in Layout? As @SGaist pointed out, using QStackedLayout is the right way.

@SGaist Can I Use QStackedLayout , two overlay two widgets ? i think what OP wanted to know is , two widget on top of each other , the below widget probably have some child widgets like buttons and other controls, the top widget probably have a logo or something , which is little transparent, so the widget below(with buttons) can also be viewed, .. So far my understanding , QStackedLayout is used by QStackedWidget , and only one widget is visible. but to be able to have both widget visble with some trasnparency , and both of them are sibling , not parent of each other , how one can acheive it . ?

Thank you in Advance

@sani1486 hi and welcome to devnet,

Check the stackingMode property. It allows to check whether you see on widget at a time or all of them.
