Render QWidget within QGLWidget

[crazymonkey]

Just to put things into perspective im trying to load a heightmap in OpenGL which i know how to do.

When i try to make a reasonably simple widget like eg

http://i51.tinypic.com/30tjlmh.jpg

the above image shows how far i am (the white square is the "space" where my heightmap will go dont worry about it)

I cant edit the line edit or i cant move the box around, i have been tinkering with this for quite a while now. im not sure whynot, ive tried 3 different examples im doing the exact same thing as the other examples. i cant seem to click/select anything within my widgets

Have you overwritten the scenes event (mouse keyb) handlers? Then don't forget to call the inherited ones!

Have you enabled the item flag focusable?

Thx for sharing the screenshot. Puts things into perspective :->

ive only implemented listeners for my openGLScene. for moving up down left and right through my scene (even they dont work properly yet but ill get there)

[crazymonkey]

Feel like such an idiot. my problem was that i didnt pass the mouseMoveEvent/mousePressEvent to QGraphicsScene base class

[JohannesMunk]

That's what I said! call the inherited ones!

Good night,

Im running into problems when i change the layout of my Widget in Qt designer, i clean project files, rebuild all and when i run the program it doesnt show the changes made to my widget. is there any reason for this? :O kinda stuck here?

[JohannesMunk]

Maybe you are editing a different file with the designer than the one that is used in the project?

Create a new directory, copy your source files to it. Create an empty new project. Add your files to it. Make sure the project file is correct / compare with the old one. Go to bed :->

BTW: This is a totally new question.. and has nothing to do with this thread.

Hey Joh

When i try to render my scene in wireframe using

glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE);

It also "draws" my widget wireframe and it looks horrible

any way in which i can circumvent this problem?

edit: nvm

[JohannesMunk]

yes: reset that at the end of your drawing.

OpenGL is a state machine. You always should revert things back to the way they were.
