Thanks for ideas, but a have to say a few words.
To SABROG: Open an explorer in windows XP. Take a look on the left panel. You will see drop down panels such as: System Tasks, Other Places, Details, and may be others. I need the same behaviour. It should be an animated drop down panel with widgets.
But i forgot to mention that it should be resizable. I have found one implementation but it uses grabWidget() to save the content of main form to a picture. It shows that picture, than hides form, and animates the picture instead of controls itself. It has some artifacts, because when we resize main form after collapsing it (the picture was stored with original width) and try to expand it, the picture scales and it does not looks good.
You can see it here: http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/...?content=79286
I believe it was not so good implementation
To aamer4yu: May be QTreeView can help me, but can it be smooth animated while closing/opening? QToolBox also can not be used, as it has no animation i need. It has a very different behaviour.
To MrDeath: It was a very good idea. I thought about custom layout, but i try to find more simple way for a while.
I don't want manually positioning of every widget in my form. I want to place all of them into a frame with layout, and than somehow fix them on it. And animate it.
