How do you embed a widget in a graphics item?

[technoViking]

Hi guys,

So I was wondering if anyone can point me to a resource that shows me how to embed a Widget into a graphic items.

I'm currently doing animation to the graphics item and want the widget to also see these effects.

Thanks

QGraphicsProxyWidget.

You can use the QGraphicsScene's AddWidget function, to get one..

Hi thanks, I used the add widget function, and that adds the widget in the graphics scene. I then can manipulate the widget with the proxy widget.

But my question is...is this really embedding the Widget into a graphics item? or is it simply putting a widget on the graphic scene?

Can I transform the widget just like a graphics item once its in the scene or do I have to some how combine a graphic item with the widget?

You can use QGraphicsScene::addWidget to add a widget to a scene.
This returns a QGraphicsProxyWidget* which is inherited from QGraphicsWidget which in turn is inherited from QGraphicsItem.
So you can use it to transform purposes as you do on a graphics item.
