Coding objects in GroupBox in a main layout
I’m creating a Dialog for which I have created a main layout. I have added a 2D array of toolbuttons to the Dialog and next need to create a GroupBox that contains a few child widgets. To get the GroupBox to show up on the Dialog, I’ve had to add it to a SubLayout. But when I try to write code that places child widgets in the GroupBox, they show up outside the GroupBox. I have worked on this all day and have tried several variations suggested by the Qt Documentation examples. . Below is the code that I have written so far, it just attempts to add a QLabel to the GroupBox. Thanks for any help in advance.
- #include "gamedialog.h"
- #include <QtGui>
- {
- // Create and configure layouts
- mainLayout->addLayout(gridLayout);
- mainLayout->addLayout(groupBoxLayout);
- mainLayout->addStretch();
- // Create grid of toolbuttons and add to layout
- const int ROWS = 11;
- const int COLUMNS = 21;
- for(int i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
- for(int j = 0; j < COLUMNS; j++)
- {
- toolButton = new QToolButton;
- gridLayout->addWidget(toolButton, i, j);
- }
- groupBoxLayout->addWidget(groupBox);
- groupBoxLayout->addWidget(numStepsLabel);
- }

Well, I’m not sure what you meant, but if you want your gridLayout (containing those toolbuttons) to be inside groupBox, shouldn’t you put the gridLayout inside your groupBox? Something like this:
- // Make grid
- for(int i = 0; ...) ... gridLayout->addWidget(toolButton, i, j);
- // Make groupbox and set layout
- groupBox = new QGroupBox;
- groupBox->setLayout(groupBoxLayout);
- // Add things to groupbox (via layout)
- groupBoxLayout->addLayout(gridLayout);
…And then put groupBox to dialog?
EDIT: I mean, it seems that you add your grid to main layout (line 12), and not in your groupbox’s layout.
