QtoolBox and QToolBar issues
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I'm working on a small project that uses Qt-4.3.2 opensource edition for X11. My requirement is to create a tabbed widget container exactly like the widgets toolbox in Qt-Designer 3.x. I browsed the sources and saw that the class QToolBox was used alongwith vertically oriented QToolBar for each "widget group". While trying to implement something similar in Qt-4.3.2, I'm facing a few problems. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out on these:
a) In Qt-3.x, I could do something like toolBar->setFrameStyle(QFrame::None). Qt-4.x does not support this, so each toolbar in the toolbox has a "toolbar like" raised appearance, which doesn't look as neat as one with no frame.
b) Also, I am having a hard time trying to layout the toolbar within the toolbox. I want the toolbars to be "central" i.e. vertically centrally aligned within the toolbox. (It seems to be left aligned by default). I admit my knowledge of Qt's layout classes isn't too hot, but I was unable to achieve this via QHBoxLayout'ing.
In general, I want to ask if the most common way of using QToolBox is with a QToolBar in each tab of the toolbox. Or is there a cleaner way?
Thanks,
Raj

Well, seems not many people use QToolBox.
If anyone can show me some examples I'd be grateful.
Further, how does one compile/obtain the Qt 4 demos? I'm using Ubuntu 7.10, and I dont seem to be able to find relevant packages.
Thanks,

the qt4-doc package should contain tarballs for the demos and examples:
usr/share/doc/qt4-doc/qt4-demos.tar.gz
usr/share/doc/qt4-doc/qt4-examples.tar.gz
Cheers,
