layout in widget give me an empty window!

[rimie23]

Hi,
i have Splitter and i make like that

QVBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout;
 QSplitter *Splitter = new QSplitter(this);
         Splitter->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
         mVerticalLayout->addWidget(Splitter);
 
         QRenderWindow *orw = new QRenderWindow(Splitter);
         mQRenderWindowList.append(orw);
         Splitter->addWidget(orw);

QVBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout;
 QSplitter *Splitter = new QSplitter(this);
         Splitter->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
         mVerticalLayout->addWidget(Splitter);

         QRenderWindow *orw = new QRenderWindow(Splitter);
         mQRenderWindowList.append(orw);
         Splitter->addWidget(orw);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and that work very good
But i want now add name of each Splitter( i want to see the name) for that i change the method and i use qgroubbox
But that does not work
i make like that

QHBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout;
 QWidget *central = new QGroupBox("My Scene", this);
 
 
		QOgreRenderWindow *orw = new QOgreRenderWindow(central);
 
		mVerticalLayout->addWidget(orw);
		central->setLayout(mVerticalLayout);

QHBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout;
 QWidget *central = new QGroupBox("My Scene", this);
		 
		 
		QOgreRenderWindow *orw = new QOgreRenderWindow(central);
		
		mVerticalLayout->addWidget(orw);
		central->setLayout(mVerticalLayout);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But that make to me an empty window

[rimie23]

i tried to make like that

QWidget *central = new QGroupBox("My Scene", this);  
 
 
             QRenderWindow *orw = new QRenderWindow();  
             mQOgreRenderWindowList.append(orw);  
 
             mVerticalLayout->addWidget(central);  
             mVerticalLayout->addWidget(orw);

QWidget *central = new QGroupBox("My Scene", this);  
                     
      
             QRenderWindow *orw = new QRenderWindow();  
             mQOgreRenderWindowList.append(orw);  
              
             mVerticalLayout->addWidget(central);  
             mVerticalLayout->addWidget(orw);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i see the groupbox "my scene" in the left of window and the render window (orw) in the right of window
i can't make the orw in the groupbox

[rimie23]

when i change this line

mVerticalLayout-> addWidget(central);

mVerticalLayout-> addWidget(central);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

by this

central->setLayout(mVerticalLayout);

central->setLayout(mVerticalLayout);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i see an empty window (there no groupbox, no scene)

[amleto]

the rules are simple.

if a widget has a parent, it is shown in the parent.

if a layout is set on a widget, the widget is now the parent of all Widgets in the layout.

that is all you need to know.

@Rimie: If you want assistance with code it helps if you post complete copy-and-paste chunks or, better still, a self-contained complete program that shows the problem, rather than assorted fragments. We ultimately have no idea what you have actually done because none of the fragments is complete and subsequent amendments depend on knowing where and to what you have applied them.

You may be better off using Qt Designer either standalone or inside Qt Creator. Either way, you must read Layout Management or you will waste a lot of time.

I am going to assume this is a continuation of your earlier posts of a similar flavour. Here is a complete example of two fake Ogre widgets in a splitter. The left widget in the splitter has a group box label, and the one on the right does not... so you can compare.

#include <QtGui>
#include <QDebug>
 
class FakeOgreWidget: public QLabel 
{
public:
    FakeOgreWidget(QWidget *p = 0): QLabel("Fake Ogre Widget", p) { }
};
 
class LabeledOgreWidget: public QGroupBox
{
public:
    LabeledOgreWidget(const QString &label, QWidget *p = 0): 
        QGroupBox(label, p) 
    {
        QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
        layout->addWidget(new FakeOgreWidget(this));
        setLayout(layout);
    }
};
 
 
class MainWindow: public QMainWindow {
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MainWindow(QWidget *p = 0): QMainWindow(p) {
        QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter(this);
        splitter->addWidget(new LabeledOgreWidget("Left", splitter));
        splitter->addWidget(new FakeOgreWidget(splitter));
 
        setCentralWidget(splitter);
    }
 
private:
};
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    MainWindow m;
    m.resize(640, 480);
    m.show();
    return app.exec();
}
#include "main.moc"

#include <QtGui>
#include <QDebug>

class FakeOgreWidget: public QLabel 
{
public:
    FakeOgreWidget(QWidget *p = 0): QLabel("Fake Ogre Widget", p) { }
};

class LabeledOgreWidget: public QGroupBox
{
public:
    LabeledOgreWidget(const QString &label, QWidget *p = 0): 
        QGroupBox(label, p) 
    {
        QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
        layout->addWidget(new FakeOgreWidget(this));
        setLayout(layout);
    }
};


class MainWindow: public QMainWindow {
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    MainWindow(QWidget *p = 0): QMainWindow(p) {
        QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter(this);
        splitter->addWidget(new LabeledOgreWidget("Left", splitter));
        splitter->addWidget(new FakeOgreWidget(splitter));

        setCentralWidget(splitter);
    }

private:
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    MainWindow m;
    m.resize(640, 480);
    m.show();
    return app.exec();
}
#include "main.moc"

i did not copy all the code because it have not relation of this problem (it is not in qt ) i know that because my program work very well when i just make that

void QWidget::setViewNum(int num)
{
if(num == 1)
     {
    QVBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout;
    QSplitter *Splitter = new QSplitter(this);
    Splitter->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
    mVerticalLayout->addWidget(Splitter);
 
    QRenderWindow *orw = new QRenderWindow(Splitter);
    mQRenderWindowList.append(orw);
    Splitter->addWidget(orw);
}
}

void QWidget::setViewNum(int num)
{
if(num == 1)
     {
    QVBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout;
    QSplitter *Splitter = new QSplitter(this);
    Splitter->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
    mVerticalLayout->addWidget(Splitter);
     
    QRenderWindow *orw = new QRenderWindow(Splitter);
    mQRenderWindowList.append(orw);
    Splitter->addWidget(orw);
}
}

and QRenderWindow is like that

QRenderWindow::QRenderWindow(QWidget *parent) :   QWidget(parent)

QRenderWindow::QRenderWindow(QWidget *parent) :   QWidget(parent)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and in mainwindow i make like that

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
 mQWidget = new QWidget(this);
    setCentralWidget(mQWidget);

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
 mQWidget = new QWidget(this);
    setCentralWidget(mQWidget);

all that work good i can see my object in the splitter

But when i want use groupbox that do not work (i see just an empty window, you can see my code in the firt or the second post )

I hope that what i write now it help you to see where is my problem exactelly

QWidget *central = new QGroupBox("My Scene", this);
 
QOgreRenderWindow *orw = new QOgreRenderWindow(central);
 
QHBoxLayout *mVerticalLayout = new QHBoxLayout(central);
mVerticalLayout->addWidget(orw);

QWidget *central = new QGroupBox("My Scene", this);

thanks Jonny
But it dos not work it still empty window

you will note that he said 'self-contained complete program' - this DOES NOT have to be your whole program - it should be a self-contained complete program. Comprendes?

thanks Jonny

how about you post a self-contained complete program that doesnt work, and we will help with what is wrong.

I never trust anyone that says 'it doesn't work' when they have not shown us *what* doesnt work.

[rimie23]

"it should be a self-contained complete program."
do not you mean all the program ?
because as exemple "QOgreRenderWindow" containd many things have not relation with qt

Sory than what you mean by " self-contained complete program"

Edit : i work with ogre+qt , if you can integrate ogre i have not problem to give you version (code) that work with splitter and do not work when i add the groupbox (if i understand good the
" " self-contained complete program" that mean program where you can execute it and you can't execute it if you have not ogre)
else if it's just code where i have qt look

that all my code that he has not relation with ogre (the rest is in ogre , c++) , that code with the code in ogre the result is an object in window (splitter ) or 4 view in each view i see my object
if i add groupbox(with the code in my first reply ) i do not see the object

I hope with this code i give you"self-contained complete program" (and i said to you i can give you version of my program with ogre)

[amleto]

self contained + complete - means you show ALL code from an EXAMPLE program that has the *same* problem. You do *not* need ogre to show any problem with widgets and layouts.

As nobody can copy + paste your code and make it compile (with suitable pro file), then no, your code is not complete. Ogre has nothing at all to do with a problem with a groupbox. Make your example much simpler without any ogre.
