Dynamic Layouts Example¶
Shows how to re-orient widgets in running applications.
Dynamic Layouts implements dynamically placed widgets within running applications. The widget placement depends on whether
Horizontal
orVertical
is chosen.For more information, visit the Layout Management page.
Dialog Constructor¶
To begin with, the application creates the UI components by calling the following methods:
createRotatableGroupBox()
createOptionsGroupBox()
createButtonBox()
It then adds the UI components to a GridLayout (
mainLayout
).Finally,
Dialog::rotateWidgets()
is called.
Creating the Main Widgets¶
The
createRotatableGroupBox()
method creates a rotatable group box, then adds a series of widgets:
QSpinBox
QSlider
QDial
QProgressBar
It goes on to add signals and slots to each widget, and assigns a
QGridLayout
calledrotatableLayout
.
Adding Options¶
createOptionsGroupBox()
creates the following widgets:
optionsGroupBox
buttonsOrientationLabel
buttonsOrientationComboBox
. The orientation of the ComboBox is eitherhorizontal
(default value) orvertical
. These two values are added during the startup of the application. It is not possible to leave the option empty.
Rotating the Widgets¶
Removes the current widgets and activates the next widget.
