Part of the QtGui module.
Inherits QAbstractScrollArea.
The QScrollArea class provides a scrolling view onto another widget.
A scroll area is used to display the contents of a child widget within a frame. If the widget exceeds the size of the frame, the view can provide scroll bars so that the entire area of the child widget can be viewed.
The child widget must be specified with setWidget(); it can be retrieved with widget(). The view can be made to be resizable with the setWidgetResizable() function.
When using a scroll area to display the contents of a custom widget, it is important to ensure that the size hint of the child widget is set to a suitable value. If a standard QWidget is used for the child widget, it may be necessary to call QWidget::setMinimumSize to ensure that the contents of the widget are shown correctly within the scroll area.
This property holds whether the scroll area should resize the view widget.
If this property is set to false (the default), the view honors the size of its widget. Regardless of this property, you can programmatically resize the widget using widget()->resize(), and the scroll area will automatically adjust itself to the new size.
If this property is set to true, the view will automatically resize the widget in order to avoid scroll bars where they can be avoided, or to take advantage of extra space.
Access functions:
Constructs a scroll area with the given parent, and with no widget; see setWidget().
Destroys the scroll area.
Set's the view widget's widget to w.
w becomes a child of the scroll area, and will be destroyed when the scroll area is deleted or when a new view widget is set.
See also widget().
Removes the view widget's widget from the view, and passes ownership of the widget to the caller.
Returns the view widget's widget, or 0 if there is none.
See also setWidget().
