Custom Widget :A class extending a Qwidget, I dont see anything...

[tonnot]

I want to have a custom widget extending, for example, a Qtreeview.
I dont want to reimplement paintevent, simply have some more functions.
Ok, I dont see anything when put my custom widget plugin on my form.
What is happen ?
Thanks

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How often do we have to tell, that we can not answer questions like

What is happen ?

if you don't show us any line of code or describe that function do you have added and how.

[tonnot]

Ok, if you want here is the code, simply a skeleton.

#ifndef A_TABLE_H
#define A_TABLE_H
#include <QtGui/QTreeView>
#include <QObject>
class A_table : public QTreeView
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    A_table(QWidget *parent=0);
};
#endif // A_TABLE_H

#ifndef A_TABLE_H
#define A_TABLE_H
#include <QtGui/QTreeView>
#include <QObject>
class A_table : public QTreeView
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    A_table(QWidget *parent=0);
};
#endif // A_TABLE_H

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

#include "a_table.h"
A_table::A_table(QWidget *parent) : QTreeView()
{ }

#include "a_table.h"
A_table::A_table(QWidget *parent) : QTreeView()
{ }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then, I choose a Qwidget, and promote to A_table.
When run the prog. I dont see nothing. A least, I have to see an empty white widget, isn't ?
Thanks

What does the constructor generated by uic for your program look like?

[tonnot]

Nothing , a transparent Widget. ....

However, I have another Qwidget that has paintevent and this one is viewed ok when run the prog.
So, I dont know If I must to override paintevent?
I only want, by the moment, to have a Qwidget that extends a Qt widget.
Thanks

You have an empty widget because promotion doesn't incorporate your custom widget into Designer/Creator. To do that, you have to implement the correct plugin interface so the tool knows how to display your custom widget.

The empty widget provided by the promotion facility simply serves as a layout aid. When you preview or build, it will be replaced by an instance of your widget.

[nish]

have you tested your class in plain C++ instead of promoting and using the ui?

[tonnot]

1.- I have tested the class in 'old' style (creating the instance, givin size, etc) and It is showed. ( an empty white QTreeView)
2.- If I extend the A_table to Qpushbutton.... promote works fine, I see an empty space at my form, but I see a button when run. (so, it is ok).
So, finally, I cannot extend a basic QTreeView using promote ?

[wysota]

Nothing , a transparent Widget. ....

This is not an answer to my question. Again, please post code generated by uic for a form containing your promoted class.

And if you build this file with a simple main(), you get a completely blank widget?

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMainWindow mw;
  Ui::MainWindow ui;
  ui.setupUi(&mw);
  mw.show();
  return app.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMainWindow mw;
  Ui::MainWindow ui;
  ui.setupUi(&mw);
  mw.show();
  return app.exec();
}

I test your code and I have nothing (a transparent widget)
But

1.- I have tested the class in 'old' style (creating the instance, givin size, etc) and It is showed. ( an empty white QTreeView)
2.- If I extend the A_table to Qpushbutton.... promote works fine, I see an empty space at my form, but I see a button when run. (so, it is ok).
So, finally, I cannot extend a basic QTreeView using promote ?

Thanks

[wysota]

Please attach a complete archive with all the source files of your test project.

[tonnot]

Here you are. If you see the code you can view the 'manually' added:

// This is 'manually' added.
   tabla=new A_tabla;
   tabla->setParent(ui->centralWidget);
   tabla->setGeometry(20,20,100,100);

// This is 'manually' added.
   tabla=new A_tabla;
   tabla->setParent(ui->centralWidget);
   tabla->setGeometry(20,20,100,100);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

which works.
Thanks

[wysota]

Geeezzz tonnot.... you're missing layouts in your ui...

[tonnot]

Wysota, Why I need layouts ?
This is the reason because a Widget extending Qtreeview is not viewed using promote ?
And :

1.- I have tested the class in 'old' style (creating the instance, givin size, etc) and It is showed. ( an empty white QTreeView)
2.- If I extend the A_table to Qpushbutton.... promote works fine, I see an empty space at my form, but I see a button when run. (so, it is ok).
So, finally, I cannot extend a basic QTreeView using promote ?

You sound surprised.

Ok, if you want here is the code, simply a skeleton.
[...]

#include "a_table.h"
A_table::A_table(QWidget *parent) : QTreeView()

#include "a_table.h"
A_table::A_table(QWidget *parent) : QTreeView()
{ }

Yeah, an incomplete one. You might want to pass the parent to the base class... That's why you don't see anything.

[tonnot]

Ok, it works.
And, as a newbie, Why? A_table is already a Qobject....
Thanks

[wysota]

You sound surprised.

I am surprised. I thought that after writing 200 posts one would at least know how to use layouts. At times like this my hands fall down and I want to sit down and cry.
