Hi All,

Code:

    public:
        Widget2(QWidget *parent)    {  }
    protected:
        void paintEvent(QPaintEvent*) 
        {
            QPainter realPainter(this);
            realPainter.drawPixmap(0,0,QPixmap("./01.png"));
        }
    };
 
 
 
    class Widget : public QScrollArea{
    public:
       Widget(QWidget *parent=0)
        {
            w_ = new QWidget(this);
            w_->resize(3000,3000);
           setWidget(w_);
        }
    protected:
        void paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)
        {
            QPainter realPainter(w_);
            realPainter.drawPixmap(0,0,QPixmap("./01.png"));
        }
    private:
        QWidget *w_;
    };
 
int main(int argc ,char *argv[])

    /////////////////////////

Any ideas about it ?
Thanks advance for your help

Of course it doesn't work for your scrollarea.

I don't think you understand the paint event.
The paint event only paints when the widget gets a notification to repaint itself.
What you do is, paint another widget from the parent widget.

Although this logic might seem logical, it doesn't work.

Always paint widgets in their own paint event.
Otherwise, they might repaint themselves with the orignal paint code right after you've painted them from the parent (childs get repainted too when the parent gets repainted).

Why not add Widget2 to your scrollarea?

Hi tbscope,

Thanks a lot for your explanation :)
