Widget GPS

I also didn't really intend on doing the whole thing for him, I already did the bar widget to show him the basics, and since it's appearant that's not all he wants, hopefully he can figure out the others after stydying my BarWidget. And I still recommend that he uses separate labels and LCD numbers (and maybe some stylesheets to make them fit in) instead of reimplementing them himself.

tanks, I would like the widgets be separate and I need'em for a school project, i have to build a display for a bike

OK, just create a custom widget and add some QLabels, some QLCDNumbers, and my BarWidget (which you can, of course, modify to better fit your needs) to it. If layouts won't work and the size, theme, or language will never change, then you can use absolute positioning for the widgets.

That curved bar indicator thing would be doable in the same fashion as my BarWidget did it, but it would be immensely complicated to get that curved shape, especially if you want it to stretch to any size. Maybe you can do it with pre-made images drawn using an image editor?

What does the code in your original post do, and is that the functionality you want for you final application?

i used this application to clock the laps when i go to the racetrack and it tells me if i do a good time or not than the best lap. also it tells me the speed, the water temperature of the motor and the GPS signal for my position on the track

I didn't get any private message. Anyway, the code:

have you recive my private message?

[MTK358]

Yes. So?

Should I explain more about how to make your own widget contain other widgets and how to lay them out?

It's not really fair for me to do your school assignment for you, and besides, it's against the rules of this forum.

Here are some tips:

To add a layout to a widget: widget->setLayout(layout)

Add a widget to a box layout: layout->addWidget(widget)

Add a widget to a grid layout: gridLayout->addWidget(widget, row, column)

Add a widget to a grid layout, spanning multiple cells: gridLayout->addWidget(widget, row, column, numRows, numColumns)

Add a layout to a layout: layout->addLayout(subLayout)

You can also add layouts to grid layout cells, just use addLayout() instead of addWidget().

it is not for school i know nothing about Qt and this friday i have to test my display at Monza circuit, on my motorbike cause i'm italian. cau do it for me?

OK, I misunderstood. Anyway, it doesn't look like you're trying. I told you how to lay out the widgets properly in my previous post. Do it, and then post your results.

[toro.86]

So why are you trying to use it?

what do u do with a display on a motorcycle for the racetrack?

[wysota]

I'm asking about Qt and not your "display"

Hi,

If it is very urgent, and if it is for demonstration purposes to prove that a certain technology is working, I believe it is better to stick with the existing widgets rather than writing your own ones, even if they look more fancy.

Check out http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/...?content=87780. That widget set contains some very nice indicator widgets that could be used. If you try and use this, and run into some problems when using it, then we could help you out better.

And a second thing... if something is very urgent, it is always a very bad idea to try and use a toolkit that you are not familiar with. Stick with what you know.

Best regards,
Marc
