Problem with custom container widget

[MrGarbage]

Hi,

QT 4.3 on windows.

I have created a custom widget for use in QT Designer.
This is intended as a collapsible groupbox. The .ui form
previews and operates correctly in QT Designer. An image is attached.

The plug-in also correctly appears in mt QT Designer toolbox
and I can move it onto a form, preview the form and that works.

This is intended to be a container widget in that controls may
be moved onto it and placed in a layout. I am returning true
in my isContainer() routine.

My widget will allow me to place items on it. Radio buttons
for example. I then select the radio buttons and apply a
layout. The red rectangle appears. I then resize with the
mouse and as soon as I let go of the selection QT Designer
crashes.

It's happy with the radio buttons if I don't attempt to
place them in their own layout.

I have tried using both a QWidget and a QFrame as my container
portion of my widget. Both yield the same results.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Mark

Do you set any layout(in the plugin) for the container widget?
Try saving the ui(without resizing it) after you apply the layout and then compile it with uic and take a look at the resulting source.
See if everything is in order.

Can you use the widget properly from within manualy written code and not Designer?

I am able to add controls to my control if I do it manually and not from QT Designer.

In fact as soon as I place anything on my container control QT Designer crashes.

Any ideas?

This seems to have been a result of applying
A Grid layout to the overall control as the final step. I changed it to a Vertical layout and
That seemed to take care of it.
