    Default Qt menubar disappears when I use scroll area

    I want to implement a vertical scroll bar. I have implemented layouts for this(see the attached layouts.jpg), and also scroll area(see snippet in below code). Yet, when I run, the window does not have menubar. What am I missing here? I tried adding the menubar and submenus through Qt designer, as well as through code, but the window does not show the menubar.

    If i use scroll area snippet, i can use the scrollbar, but don't see menubar. However If i comment out the scroll area snippet, i can see the menubar, but lose the scroll bar. I need both of them. How to solve this?

    Here is the code:- mainwindow.h
    Qt Code:
    1. #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
    2. #define MAINWINDOW_H
    3.  
    4. #include <QMainWindow>
    5. #include <QScrollArea>
    6. namespace Ui {
    7. class MainWindow;
    8. }
    9.  
    10. class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
    11. {
    12. Q_OBJECT
    13.  
    14. public:
    15. explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    16. ~MainWindow();
    17.  
    18. private:
    19. Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    20.  
    21.  
    22. };
    23.  
    24. #endif // MAINWINDOW_H

    12. QMenu *resolutionSubMenu = viewMenu->addMenu("Resolution");
    13. QAction *QVGA = resolutionSubMenu->addAction("QVGA");

    20. ui->referenceImageLabel->setMinimumSize(480, 640);ui->referenceImageLabel->setMinimumSize(480, 640);ui->referenceImageLabel->setMinimumSize(480, 640);

    Default Re: Qt menubar disappears when I use scroll area

    You are placing your central widget in to the scorll area, instead parenting to it.
    Qt Code:
    1. QScrollArea *p_ScrollArea = new QScrollArea(centralWidget());
    2. p_ScrollArea->setAutoFillBackground(false);
    3. centralWidget()->setGeometry(0,0,500,500);
    4. p_ScrollArea->setGeometry(0,0,100,100);
    5. QLabel* pLabel = new QLabel("test");
    6. pLabel->setGeometry(0,0,1000,1000);
    7. p_ScrollArea->setWidget(pLabel);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Also, setting the minimum size will not do when you change the size of your window.
    You need to make sure your scoll areay adjust to the windows size.

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.
