[ACCEPTED]-Which Qt Widget to scroll through widgets?-scroll

Accepted answer
Score: 11

Here is how I do it with a QVBoxLayout and a QScrollArea:

//scrollview so all items fit in window
    QScrollArea* techScroll = new QScrollArea(tabWidget);
    techScroll->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Window);
    techScroll->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Plain);
    techScroll->setFrameShape(QFrame::NoFrame);
    techScroll->setWidgetResizable(true);

    //vertical box that contains all the checkboxes for the filters 
    QWidget* techArea = new QWidget(tabWidget);
    techArea->setObjectName("techarea");
    techArea->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
    techArea->setLayout(new QVBoxLayout(techArea));
    techScroll->setWidget(techArea);

Then 2 when adding items you do it like this (with 1 lay = techArea->layout() and parent = techarea:

for(std::set<Event::Enum>::iterator it = validEvents.begin(); it != validEvents.end();
    ++it){
        QCheckBox* chk = new QCheckBox(
        "text", parent);

        if(lay){
            lay->addWidget(chk);
        }   

    }

If your display elements are simple, the 4 easiest solution is a QListWidget. This will automatically 3 resize itself and inform the QScrollArea when you add 2 items. You just have to call myScrollAlrea -> setWidget (myListWidget) to initialise, and 1 then myListWidget -> addItem (myListWidgetItem) to add new items.

RedX's answer was a bit vague, but I got 1 his method to work:

QRadioButton *radio[40];

for (int i = 0;i<40;i++)
    radio[i] = new QRadioButton(tr("&Radio button 1"));

QWidget* techArea = new QWidget;
techArea->setObjectName("techarea");
techArea->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
techArea->setLayout(new QVBoxLayout(techArea));
ui->scrollArea->setWidget(techArea);

QLayout *lay = techArea->layout();

for (int i = 0;i<40;i++)
    lay->addWidget(radio[i]);
