I am trying to generate a Dialog with a stacked layout of GridLayout (of CheckBox's) and HLayout. Well, I did. But my grid got big (my HLayout is fine) but now I want a ScrollArea so as to not take up too much real estate. I have tried the following code .... and it generates a scroll view, but the size of the scroll view is the size of a button (the first ofc) in the HLayout. I want the scroll view to be the width of the Dialog, which nominally would be the minimum width of the HLayout. Additionally adding the scroll_view and scroll_viewWidget cause a QLayout exception to be raised, QLayout::addChildLayout: layout "" already has a parent. Any idea's?
class checkboxDialog(QtGui.QDialog) :
def __init__(self, headers, name) :
super(checkboxDialog, self).__init__()
self.checkerLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout()
self.checkerLayout.setMargin(1)
self.checkerLayout.setSpacing(2)
self.scroll_view = QtGui.QScrollArea(self)
self.scroll_view.setWidgetResizable(True)
self.scroll_viewWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
self.scroll_viewWidget.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 600, 400))
self.scroll_view.setWidget(self.scroll_viewWidget)
self.checkerHlayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout(self.scroll_viewWidget)
checksLayout = QtGui.QGridLayout()
checksLayout.setColumnStretch(90,7)
checksLayout.setMargin(1)
checksLayout.setSpacing(2)
self.cbList = []
index = 0
for row_index in range(90):
for column_index in range(7):
if index > len(headers)-1 : break
checkbox = QtGui.QCheckBox(headers[index][0:8], self)
checkbox.setToolTip("Chanel = {}".format(headers[index]))
self.cbList.append(checkbox)
# Hide the Phase channels for now ... not sure I shoudl even build the CheckBoxes
# But if I dont then the len(cbList) < len(data[0])
if headers[index][-1] == 'p' :
checkbox.hide()
checksLayout.addWidget(checkbox, row_index, column_index)
index += 1
self.checkerHlayout.addLayout(checksLayout)
self.buttonLayout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
self.buttonLayout.setMargin(1)
self.buttonLayout.setSpacing(2)
applyButton = QtGui.QPushButton("Apply")
nextButton = QtGui.QPushButton("Next")
nextAllButton = QtGui.QPushButton("NextAll")
prevButton = QtGui.QPushButton("Prev")
prevAllButton = QtGui.QPushButton("PrevAll")
clearButton = QtGui.QPushButton("Clear")
self.buttonLayout.addWidget(applyButton)
self.buttonLayout.addWidget(nextButton)
self.buttonLayout.addWidget(nextAllButton)
self.buttonLayout.addWidget(prevButton)
self.buttonLayout.addWidget(prevAllButton)
self.buttonLayout.addWidget(clearButton)
self.checkerLayout.addLayout(self.checkerHlayout)
self.checkerLayout.addLayout(self.buttonLayout)
self.setLayout(self.checkerLayout)
self.setObjectName(name)
self.setWindowTitle(name)
self.connect(applyButton, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.checked)
self.connect(nextButton, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.next_chn)

self.connect(prevAllButton, QtCore.SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.prev_chnAll)
