Problem while using QFormlayout inside a QGroupbox

[Schreihals]

Hey,

i've got a problem while using a qformlayout inside a qgroupbox..

if my screenresolution is to small, i get a layout like this:

clipboard02x2k30.jpg

the code i'm using looks like this:

QFormLayout *formLayout = new QFormLayout();
formLayout->addRow(tr("Store Images"), myCheckbox);
formLayout->addRow(tr("Store Image Path"), myLineEdit)
QxtGroupBox* gb = new QxtGroupBox(tr("&Settings"), this);
mainLayout->addWidget(gb);

QFormLayout *formLayout = new QFormLayout();
formLayout->addRow(tr("Store Images"), myCheckbox);
formLayout->addRow(tr("Store Image Path"), myLineEdit)
QxtGroupBox* gb = new QxtGroupBox(tr("&Settings"), this);
mainLayout->addWidget(gb);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Someone a idea how i can fix this problem?

Set margins and size policies to your widgets.
Make sure that the overall size is not to large for your screen.

hmm - ok i'll have a try, but setting all size policies by hand is a lot of work..

i tried to use a scollarea, but this doesn't work either (or is a scrollarea just the wrong widget?)

What do you mean by "doesn't work"?
Show your code.

like above, but before doing this:

mainLayout->addWidget(gb);

i've done this:

QScrollArea* sa = new QScrollArea();
QHBoxLayout* hl1 = new QHboxLayout();
hl1->addWidget(sa);
sa->setLayout(formLayout);
gb->setLayout(hl1);

Where is sa->setWidget()?

uuups..

which widget is best for adding a layout before adding to scrollarea? i thought about a QFrame?

this doesn't work..

QWidget* w = new QWidget();
w->setLayout(formLayout);
sa->setWidget(w);

then my box is just empty

forget about it.. pebcak, its working fine
