I am attempting to create a custom widget. My Widget renders itself unless it is inside a scroll area. The code below works. If I change the if(0) to an if(1) inside the MainWindow constructor, it will not render the "Hello World" string. I assume that I must (re)implement some additional methods, but so far I have not been able to find the correct ones with trial and error.
// hellowidget.h
#ifndef HELLOWIDGET_H
#define HELLOWIDGET_H
#include <QtGui>
class HelloWidget : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
HelloWidget(QWidget *parent = 0);
void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event);
};
#endif // HELLOWIDGET_H
// hellowidget.cpp
#include "hellowidget.h"
HelloWidget::HelloWidget(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent)
{
}
void HelloWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
{
QPainter painter(this);
painter.drawText(rect(), Qt::AlignCenter, "Hello World");
}
// mainwindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QtGui>
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private:
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
// mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "hellowidget.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
HelloWidget *hello = new HelloWidget;
QWidget *central = hello;
if( 0 )
{
QScrollArea *scroll = new QScrollArea ;
scroll->setWidget(hello);
central = scroll;
}
setCentralWidget( central );
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
}
// main.cpp
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "mainwindow.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
