setting moviewidget on a QFrame?

[vishal.chauhan]

Hi All,

I am using the following API to play the audio and video file.

It is playing audio and video fine but I have a problem that the moviewidget always show on the QWidget but I want to show it on a QFrame inside a QMainWindow.

If any one knows how I can do this then please help me.

Thanks.

But what's the problem? QFrame is a QWidget. Any QWidget can be placed to a layout.

Actually I am taking a QVBoxLayout but in application it is taking
Layout()->addWidget(movieWindow);

and I have set the layout of the frame to QVBoxLayout and then add the moviwWidget in the QVBoxLayout.

it is not giving any error but it is not showing any widget in QFrame.

I suspect it to be a simple layout problem. Anyway, can you verify that the widget is laid out correctly? Make it red with style sheets and see where it appears if it does appear anywhere.

I have set the color by following

movieWindow->setStyleSheet("color: red; background-color: white;");

but my application does not show the movie wiindow.

Show the relevant code.

I have a frame named QFrame on the mainwindow in which I want to show the movie widget.

QVBoxLayout *movieWidgetLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
 
movieWindow = new MovieWidget(this); ////Movie widget object
	movieWindow->setStyle(new QMotifStyle);
	movieWindow->setStyleSheet("color: red; background-color: white;");
	movieWidgetLayout->addWidget(movieWindow);
 
	MainFrame->setLayout(movieWidgetLayout);

QVBoxLayout *movieWidgetLayout = new QVBoxLayout;

movieWindow = new MovieWidget(this); ////Movie widget object
	movieWindow->setStyle(new QMotifStyle);
	movieWindow->setStyleSheet("color: red; background-color: white;");
	movieWidgetLayout->addWidget(movieWindow);

	MainFrame->setLayout(movieWidgetLayout);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Is MovieWidget direct subclass of QWidget? Is MainFrame a top-level window or is it in a layout?

[vishal.chauhan]

Yes movieWidget is a direct subclass of QWidget and MainFrame is a Top level window in mainwindow(mainwindow also have some other top level window ).

[jpn]

As far as I remember setting a background color with style sheets doesn't work with plain QWidget.

[vishal.chauhan]

But Even If I subclass the movieWidget from QFrame or some other class then it still not showing the color. If I add another widget in the MainFrame then only that widget is visible although movieWidget is look like taking space in the frame but nothing is visible.

[vishal.chauhan]

Still no success.
Is it possible or not to add movie widget in any widget other than the QWidget.
I think movieWidget should add to any parent widget and if it not then it is a big bug in the above API.

[vishal.chauhan]

Now I am able to set it in a Frame.
Actually It does not add to be in a Layout we have to just make the parent of movieWidget to label.

Thanks for all the reply.

Hi All,

I want to do one more thing in the above API that currently the movie or song play when the user click on the play button.

I want to know is it possible to play the music by default when the user select the movie or song.

Still sounds like a layout issue. Installing two layouts by accident on the same widget makes the latter one not to be installed.

I'm afraid QuickTime programming doesn't have much to do with Qt programming so this would be a wrong forum for such question...
