    Default QWidget + QScrollArea = confused

    Hi, I have developed an application with a main QWidget, which contains other controls. I have declared it like this:

    myWindow = new QWidget(0, "mainWindow");
    myWindow->show();
    myWindow->setWindowTitle("Window Title");

    The widget is resizable, and how'd like to have scrollbars appear when it's size is reduced. I tried to use QScrollArea without success (also Googled but couldn't find a simple example).

    Could somebody please give me a hint? Thanks

    Default Re: QWidget + QScrollArea = confused

    For example:
    Qt Code:
    1. MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    2. : QMainWindow(parent)
    3. {
    4. QScrollArea* scroll = new QScrollArea();
    5. QWidget* w = new QWidget();
    6. w->setWindowTitle("test");
    7. w->setMinimumSize(300,200);
    8. scroll->setWidget(w);
    9. this->setCentralWidget(scroll);
    10. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    When MainWindow is resized below 300x200 scroll bars will appear.
