QVBoxLayout whats wrong in this

[sujan.dasmahapatra]

#include <QApplication>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QPalette>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QApplication app(argc,argv);
QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
widget->resize(500,300);

QPalette r(widget->palette());
r.setColor(QPalette::Background, Qt::red);
widget->setPalette(r);


QWidget *w1 = new QWidget(widget);
w1->resize(300,150);
QPalette p(w1->palette());
p.setColor(QPalette::Background, Qt::green);
w1->setPalette(p);

QWidget *w2 = new QWidget(widget);
w2->resize(300,150);
QPalette q(w2->palette());
q.setColor(QPalette::Background, Qt::blue);
w2->setPalette(q);

QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(w1);
layout->addWidget(w2);

widget->setLayout(layout);

widget->show();

return app.exec();
}

I am not able to see the distinguished two colored widgets.

Hi sujan.dasmahapatra,

QWidget objects act as a container, and since your child widgets (w1 and w2) do not contain anything, they are not visible.
Try putting some objects into them.

The palette is propagated from parent to child, so all your widgets will get red background, read more here (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qwidget.html#palette-prop)

hi,

I am not able to see the distinguished two colored widgets.
you can try stylesheet

widget->setStyleSheet("background-color:red;");
w1->setStyleSheet("background-color:green;");
w2->setStyleSheet("background-color:blue;");

hope it helps,
Bala

I would like to apologize for my reply, was a little "off targeted".
