QFrame Layout
Message 1 in thread
Hi all,
I'm after some help with a QFrame and making it into a QScrollArea. In
Designer I'm using the promote idea to make the QFrame into a
QScrollArea, but then I would like the stuff I put inside the QFrame to
be part of a layout which stretches horizontally, but fills vertically
as much as it needs.
Maybe that isn't clear...
So basically I want part of my main window to be scrollable. When the
window is resized horizontally, the widgets in the scroll area should
resize horizontally to fill the area. Obviously if the size gets too
small then a scrollbar should appear. But when resized vertically I want
the scrollable area to just stay the same and put a scrollbar if necessary.
Any ideas how I can do this using Designer?
Many thanks,
Matt Galloway

You can't. You need to do the resizing yourself because this goes
against the idea of the scrollarea.
Another option might be to implement your own QWidget or QFrame subclass
and add just one scrollbar. Then write your own resizeEvent handler and
do what you want there.
