[PyQt] Position widgets over widgets
Hi,
I have attached a simple example where a widget sets up two labels. One
which is added to the layout of the widget, and one which is not.
In the paintEvent() of the parent widget I instead position the
non-layout label using setGeometry to make it appear in the center of
the parent widget.
However, the label positioned by this approach is always obscured by the
widget which was added to the layout. I want it to appear as visible,
i.e. visible on top of the parent widget.
Any clues?
Best regards,
Mads

Re: [PyQt] Position widgets over widgets
Hi,
I tried that, but is does not seem to work. The 'XXX' is still hidden by
the widget in the layout.
What I eventually would like to achieve is to add a QPushButton in, say,
the upper left corner of the parent widget.
I have attached a similar example, this time with a QPushButton. This
QPushButton is rendered useless (i.e.) you cannot press it.
I thought solving this problem would be a walk in the park. Any clues?
Best regards,
Mads

I will abjure any relation to this code..
