Using Qt designer
I'm trying to get to grips with Qt's designer (I am using Qt2's designer. I think that's correct isn't it?) Attached is a screenshot of what I've got so far for the External dialog. I'm trying to add some widgets to control the appearence of the inset within LyX. Basically, I'm just copying the equivalent stuff in the Graphics dialog. You can see how I've grouped the various widgets together. Look Ok? My question: how do I tell them they're sitting in the LyX Display frame. Thereafter, how do I layout this frame within the whole dialog. Seems I've got stuck. -- Angusattachment: designer.png

Click that lil' ol' grid icon on the toolbar. Once for the frame and once for the whole dialog. Too easy for an old codger! -- Angus

You can see how I've grouped the various widgets together. Look Ok? I would place the template combo at the top, as it is dominant over the other stuff. And possibly make it a grooup box so it's obvious what is in the text area. Even better, would be to change the visual look of the text area so it's not sunken... My question: how do I tell them they're sitting in the LyX Display frame. They're probably there. If you drag the frame, do they follow ? Right click in the frame and choose the option to lay out the children as a grid, horiz or vert. Thereafter, how do I layout this frame within the whole dialog. Seems I've got stuck. Same thing. Generally if you lay it roughly out, then Layout as grid works. But don't worry too much, I can do details stuff if you like regards john

Well I've put the template at the top. But don't worry too much, I can do details stuff if you like I'll continue to play willing. I've connected the signals and slots and have added code to QExternal::update_contents and QExternal::apply. Question. xforms has input filters. In this case I have fl_set_input_filter(dialog_-input_lyxscale, fl_unsigned_int_filter); Is there any equivalent in the Qt code? -- Angus

I guess you don't use it much: $ grep setValidator * */* */*/* QParagraphDialog.C: linespacingValue-setValidator(new QDoubleValidator(linespacingValue)); Any reason why not? -- Angus
