I actually already did that in part - that is, my parent widget is a QGraphicsWidget, and it created a QGraphicsItemGroup and added the two sub-widgets to it.
However, in examining this aspect it now seems like the parent widget has no relationship to its child widgets - e.g. moving/resizing/etc the parent is not necessarily going to moving/resizing/etc the child widgets. Or (again) am I missing something? (Yes, the QGraphicsItemGroup is parented to the QGraphicsWidget.)


Converting the parent QGraphicsWidget to be derived from QGraphicsItemGroup also removes the ability to add a nice little management layer with signals and slots; it also removes the parent widget from being able to be added to a QGraphicsLayout.

Looking to learn,
