QScrollArea not expanding when QPixmap is loaded
-
Hi all,
I'm working on a program that requires the user to load an image. I am using a QPixmap inside of a QLabel for the image, and that QLabel is inside a QScrollArea. When the program first starts, the label is empty, and thus the scroll area doesn't have anywhere to scroll (as intended). However, when I load an image that requires scrolling, the scroll bars do not change, and I can only see the top corner of the image.
Currently, this is the code that sets the image in the QLabel (the image paths are stored in a list):
void MainWindow::on_imageList_doubleClicked(const QModelIndex &index) { QPixmap image(imageModel->itemData(index)[0].toString()); ui->imagePanel->setPixmap(image); }As I said earlier, the QLabel (imagePanel) is inside the scroll area, so I am confused as to why the scroll bars do not expand to accommodate a large image.
Any helps would be much appreciated.
Edit: I admit that my explanation is a little confusing, so here's a screenshot showing what I mean. The picture is supposed to be scrollable so you can view the entire cat, but only a small part of the picture can be seen and the scroll bars do not work.
I can somewhat get around the issue by setting the QLabel scaledContents to true, but it's not ideal as the height/width ratio is not maintained. -

you need to resize the QLabel in the scrollarea to the size of the pixmap -
Hi,
How did you set the QLabel on your QScrollArea ?
If you put it in a layout on the scroll area then that's wrong.
