I have a qscrollarea and within that a qgridlayout. In the grid layout I create a number of custom widgets (for simplicity these widgets are simply a groupbox and a label) and add one on each row.
Instead of displaying the vertical scrollbar, the custom widgets are all compressed to fit the size of the scrollarea.
I add the custom widgets to the scroll area in the following method:
def addBookWidget(self):
self.book_grid = QtGui.QGridLayout(self.book_scrollArea)
widget = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
widget2 = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
widget3 = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
widget4 = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
widget5 = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
widget6 = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
widget7 = py_BookWidget(self.book_scrollArea)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget,0,0)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget2,1,0)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget3,2,0)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget4,3,0)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget5,4,0)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget6,5,0)
self.book_grid.addWidget(widget7,6,0)
self.book_scrollArea.setLayout(self.book_grid)
widget.show()
widget2.show()
widget3.show()
widget4.show()
widget5.show()
widget6.show()
widget7.show()
The custom widget extends QWidget and reimplements sizeHint:
class py_BookWidget(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(py_BookWidget, self).__init__(parent)
self.book = Ui_book_widget()
self.book.setupUi(self) #This is loading my QT Designer Code
def sizeHint(self):
print "test"
return QtCore.QSize(660, 300)
The sizeHint method is being called, but the widgets are still being squashed to a much smaller height. All elements in the custom widget have a fixed width and height, and minimum and maximum height and width are set to 660, 300.
Anyone have a suggestion to try? Thank you!
Additional info: The scroll area is in a MainWindow, and the widgetResizable boolean is set to False.
Tomorrow I will try removing the custom widget and just seeing if I can get the scrollArea to work with a regular widget.
