[Qt-interest] FW: Scrolling Contents in QScrollArea

[Sujan Dasmahapatra]

Hi Nikos 
Thanks for reply. See I have done that for example.
I have subclassed QScrollArea for some other functionalities , such as printing etc. See the code snippet below

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Class MyScrollArea : public QScrollArea
{
	Q_OBJECT
Public:
	MyScrollArea(QWidget *parent=0);
      ~MyScrollArea();
};

MyScrollArea::MyScrollArea()
{
   QPushButton *button1, *button2;
   button1 = new QPushButton(this);
   button2 = new QPushButton(this);

   setWidget(button1);
   setWidget(button2);
}

I want the buttons to one on extreme left and one on extreme right so that I need to scroll them to see.
This much is my code...But I am not able to see the scrollbars on the scrollarea and not able to scroll even. Please tell me what 
Can be done on this. Thanks sujan

Do not override scrollContentsBy().  You are not allowed to move the 
scrollbars in that function.  Also, you should not attempt to move the 
widgets manually.  QScrollArea will do that for you.  You only need to 
add the widgets you want into the QScrollArea.  Everything else happens 
automatically when the user moves the scrollbars.

If you want to scroll programatically, simply use the setValue() 
function of the scrollbars from wherever you want, *except* from 
scrollContentsBy() which, again, you should not be overriding for this 
purpose.
