Is there a QT widget similar to the Task Panel's used in many XP applications.

[wysota]

I don't know if I understand the problem, but the solution I mentioned seems to work fine for me...

QPalette::Base of the list view is set to light yellow and QPalette::Window of the parent widget is set to light green (just to distinguish the background).

What did you compile this on? I'm using Linux and GCC. Could you the code of you example? Thanks.

[wysota]

Linux + GCC There is no code, I mocked it in Designer. This is a QListView (or QListWidget, I don't remember) that has QPalette::Base colour component changed to light yellow inside a QWidget that has its QPalette::Window colour component changed to light green.

An equivalent code is more/less:

QWidget *wgt = new QWidget(...);
QHBoxLayout *l = new QHBoxLayout(wgt);
QListView *lv = new QListView;
l->addWidget(lv);
QPalette p = lv->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Base, QColor(255,255,100));
lv->setPalette(p);
p = wgt->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Window, QColor(100,255,100));
wgt->setPalette(p);

QWidget *wgt = new QWidget(...);
QHBoxLayout *l = new QHBoxLayout(wgt);
QListView *lv = new QListView;
l->addWidget(lv);
QPalette p = lv->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Base, QColor(255,255,100));
lv->setPalette(p);
p = wgt->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Window, QColor(100,255,100));
wgt->setPalette(p);

Just a quick screenshot of what I implemented today

Wysota,

That works great. I added it to the QPUListView constructor. Thanks.

The example you show in the last post, was the made with QT 4's QListView?

No, this is a completely custom widget derived from QScrollArea. You can add separate "tasks" to it and assign any widget you want as the "body" of the task. You can even fill the widget with tasks in Designer. Of course the whole thing is stylable, so you can make it look just like the WinXP original.

gsQT4,

do you have some working version of QpuListView in only Qt4 ?
Or if you have with this some issues, maybe i can help you.

Hai,
I tried out the Pulistview. I created an application with one Listview. I implemented this QPUListView class in the project. But i got lot of errors.
I added QT3 Support Library in the Project. I am using QT 4.3.4. So i am not able to modify this class as i am new to QT.

Could you please help to solve this problem.

Thanks and regards.
