QMainWindow setCentralWidget


Message 1 in thread

Hello, 

is there a way to set the central widget of a QMainWindow in Designer? If not, 
I imagine you'd do this in the constructor. 

thanks,

Uhm, well in designer you can design the content of the mainwindow's
central widget. That is anything you put into the mainwindows central
area will be part of the central widget. I'm not sure how exactly uic
translates that into code, but I guess it adds a plain qwidget as
central widget and then sets the layout you chose.

but can designer cause the widget take maximum space? the attached screenshot 
illustrates what i want (i did this in code by creating a textedit and using 
setCentralWidget(textedit);

also, if you can explain why my icons dont show up on the toolbar, i'd 
appreciate it. 

thanks, 

eah

Sure, create a layout.
