I think it should be much easier to create a scrollable window in PyQt. I have a list of labels that goes out of the window and I would like to scroll down to view them. At the moment the code does not give me an error, but the window just doesn't appear:
class Example(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
layout = QVBoxLayout()
lbl_arr = makeLabelArr()
for i in range(1,8):
qb = lbl_arr[i]
# qb.setFixedWidth(300)
layout.addWidget(qb)
layout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignTop)
scroll = QScrollArea()
scroll.setWidget(self)
scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
scroll.setFixedHeight(400)
layout.addWidget(scroll)
self.setLayout(layout)
self.setGeometry(0, 0, 600, 220)
self.setWindowTitle('SnP watchlist')
self.show()
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
#print(QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry())
ex = Example()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Make the window itself a QScrollArea
, like this:
class Window(QScrollArea):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()
widget = QWidget()
layout = QVBoxLayout(widget)
layout.setAlignment(Qt.AlignTop)
for index in range(100):
layout.addWidget(QLabel('Label %02d' % index))
self.setWidget(widget)
self.setWidgetResizable(True)
