QWidgets inside QGraphicsWidget [parent issue]

[jovin]

Hello,

I don't know if the problem is due to bad design or anything...
However, I have a subclass of QGraphicsWidget. Now I want to add some widgets to the subclass (here: QProgressBar)
and it works to some extend; they appear but aren't in my QGraphicsScene which my subclass is part of (via addItem()) .

I came to the conclusion that the problem has to be that the widgets inside my subclass don't have a parent.
Now I could call widget_inside_subclass.setParent(this), but they only accept QObjects* and my subclass is a QGraphicsWidget.

Is there a way to "force" them to be my subclass' child's?
Even better solutions are also welcome.

Thanks.

. . . but they only accept QObjects* and my subclass is a QGraphicsWidget.

I don't understand the problem since: QObject <- QGraphicsObject <- QGraphicsWidget

Anyway, try putting your widgets in the layout of the QGraphicsWidget. There is a good example in the docs, here.

Also take a look at QGraphicsProxyWidget.
