QFrame inner rectangle

[Micawber]

Just a quick question that isn't entirely obvious to my addled brain...

When using a QFrame that has, lets say a StyledPanel shape. To get the coordinates and sizes of the rectangle within the frame, does one obtain it with calls to QFrame.window(), QFrame.width() and QFrame.height() etc.?

The Docs for QFrame state that a call to frameRect() will return the coordinates of the entire widget by default (with no frameRect set) but I don't think thats what I want and I'm not entirely sure how to get what I want.

Any illumination would be appreciated.

if you want inner rectangle's size, frameWidth() and frameHeight() is your answer

[Micawber]

I see frameWidth() but I don't see frameHeight(). Are you sure?

frameHeight is not there. and it is obvious.

From the docs -

frameWidth : const int
This property holds the width of the frame that is drawn.

ie., it is something like the border width. subtract this from the frame rect, and you will get the inner rect

oops, my bad..i assumed that height would be there plus on second thought..i think if u call contentsRect() on frame, u'd get right values that u want..also, to make sure u r doing right, call frameRect() and frameWidth()..frameRect() should be adjusted to framewidth on contentsRect().

here is how frameRect() is calculated inside QFrame:

QRect QFrame::frameRect() const
{
    Q_D(const QFrame);
    QRect fr = contentsRect();
    if ((d->oldFrameStyle & QFrame::Shape_Mask) == QFrame::StyledPanel) {
        fr.adjust(-d->leftFrameWidth, -d->topFrameWidth, d->rightFrameWidth, d->bottomFrameWidth);
    } else
        fr.adjust(-d->frameWidth, -d->frameWidth, d->frameWidth, d->frameWidth);
    return fr;
}

QRect QFrame::frameRect() const
{
    Q_D(const QFrame);
    QRect fr = contentsRect();
    if ((d->oldFrameStyle & QFrame::Shape_Mask) == QFrame::StyledPanel) {
        fr.adjust(-d->leftFrameWidth, -d->topFrameWidth, d->rightFrameWidth, d->bottomFrameWidth);
    } else
        fr.adjust(-d->frameWidth, -d->frameWidth, d->frameWidth, d->frameWidth);
    return fr;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

thus i believe contentsRect() should be what u need

[Micawber]

That makes sense. There a sentence on the QFrame documentation page that states...

The margin between the frame and the contents of the frame can be customized with the QWidget::setContentsMargins() function.

so the contentsRect() call should be what I need.

Thanks!
