Drop downs appearing off the bottom of the page

[sanjayshelke]

Hi,

I have created application using QMainWIndow and added a toolbar at the bottomside of main window.

I have added drop-down menu to this toolbar.
When i clicked this drop-down menu, it is appearing off the bottom of the page( When application window is maximized ).

is there any way so that i can show drop-down upwards, when it would go off the screen.

regards,
~Sanjay

Can we see the code?

[sanjayshelke]

yes sure.

Here is the code fragment.

QMyToolbar ::QMyToolbar()
{
       // fill color drop-down menu
	m_actGroupFillColour = new QActionGroup(this);
	pAction = new QAction( QIcon( QMulteMathTool::relativeToAbsolutePath ( "English_en/fillcolor.png" ) ), tr("Fill Colour"), this );
	connect( pAction, SIGNAL( triggered() ), this, SLOT( setFillColor() ) );
	pAction->setData( QString("Fill Colour") );
	pAction->setCheckable( true );
	QMenu *pMenuFillColor = new QMenu();
	pMenuFillColor->setFixedSize(100,100);
	QGridLayout *pGridLayout5 = new QGridLayout();
	pGridLayout5->setHorizontalSpacing(5);
	pGridLayout5->setVerticalSpacing(0);
	pGridLayout5->setContentsMargins(4,4,4,4);
	for( int nCol = 0, i = 1; nCol<4; nCol++ )
	{
		for( int nRow = 0; nRow<4; nRow++)
		{
			QString fileName = QString("English_en/brushcolor%1.png").arg(i);
			fileName = QMulteMathTool::relativeToAbsolutePath(fileName);
			QToolButton *pBtn = new QToolButton(this);
			pBtn->setIcon( QIcon(fileName) );
			pGridLayout5->addWidget( pBtn, nRow, nCol);
			i++;
			connect( pBtn, SIGNAL( pressed() ), this, SLOT( setFillColor() ) );
		}
	}
	pMenuFillColor->setLayout(pGridLayout5);
	pAction->setMenu( pMenuFillColor );
	addAction( pAction );
	m_actGroupFillColour->addAction( pAction );
	m_actGroupFillColour->addAction( addSeparator() );
}

QMyToolbar ::QMyToolbar()
{
       // fill color drop-down menu
	m_actGroupFillColour = new QActionGroup(this);
	pAction = new QAction( QIcon( QMulteMathTool::relativeToAbsolutePath ( "English_en/fillcolor.png" ) ), tr("Fill Colour"), this );
	connect( pAction, SIGNAL( triggered() ), this, SLOT( setFillColor() ) );
	pAction->setData( QString("Fill Colour") );
	pAction->setCheckable( true );
	QMenu *pMenuFillColor = new QMenu();
	pMenuFillColor->setFixedSize(100,100);
	QGridLayout *pGridLayout5 = new QGridLayout();
	pGridLayout5->setHorizontalSpacing(5);
	pGridLayout5->setVerticalSpacing(0);
	pGridLayout5->setContentsMargins(4,4,4,4);
	for( int nCol = 0, i = 1; nCol<4; nCol++ )
	{
		for( int nRow = 0; nRow<4; nRow++)
		{
			QString fileName = QString("English_en/brushcolor%1.png").arg(i);
			fileName = QMulteMathTool::relativeToAbsolutePath(fileName);
			QToolButton *pBtn = new QToolButton(this);
			pBtn->setIcon( QIcon(fileName) );
			pGridLayout5->addWidget( pBtn, nRow, nCol);
			i++;
			connect( pBtn, SIGNAL( pressed() ), this, SLOT( setFillColor() ) );
		}
	}
	pMenuFillColor->setLayout(pGridLayout5);
	pAction->setMenu( pMenuFillColor );
	addAction( pAction );
	m_actGroupFillColour->addAction( pAction );
	m_actGroupFillColour->addAction( addSeparator() );
}

Hi,
I think snapshot may not be properly inserted.

Can you see the snapshot properly.

hi Wysota,

Is there anything wrong in the code.

[wysota]

How do you use (call) the code?

[sanjayshelke]

Hi,

I am calling from QMainwindow like this,

m_MyToolBar = addToolBar( tr("Property ToolBar") );
addToolBar( Qt::BottomToolBarArea, m_MyToolBar );

But i dont think it is related to problem.

regards,
Sanjay

It might be a bug in Qt.

You wouldn't happen to be forwarding X from an ssh session would you? I use Qt that way, and windows and drop downs always flow off the screen.
