Detailed Description

The QGroupBox widget provides a group box frame with a title.

\inmodule QtWidgets

A group box provides a frame, a title on top, a keyboard shortcut, and displays various other widgets inside itself. The keyboard shortcut moves keyboard focus to one of the group box's child widgets.

QGroupBox also lets you set the \l title (normally set in the constructor) and the title's \l alignment. Group boxes can be \l checkable. Child widgets in checkable group boxes are enabled or disabled depending on whether or not the group box is \l checked.

You can minimize the space consumption of a group box by enabling the \l flat property. In most \l{QStyle}{styles}, enabling this property results in the removal of the left, right and bottom edges of the frame.

QGroupBox doesn't automatically lay out the child widgets (which are often \l{QCheckBox}es or \l{QRadioButton}s but can be any widgets). The following example shows how we can set up a QGroupBox with a layout:

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QGroupBox() [1/2]

QGroupBox::QGroupBox ( QWidget * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructs a group box widget with the given parent but with no title.

Definition at line 180 of file qgroupbox.cpp.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ QGroupBox() [2/2]

QGroupBox::QGroupBox	(	const QString &	title,
		QWidget *	parent = `nullptr`

explicit

Constructs a group box with the given title and parent.

Definition at line 191 of file qgroupbox.cpp.

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ ~QGroupBox()

Here is the call graph for this function:

◆ clicked

void QGroupBox::clicked ( bool checked = false )

signal

Since: 4.2

This signal is emitted when the check box is activated (i.e., pressed down then released while the mouse cursor is inside the button), or when the shortcut key is typed. Notably, this signal is not emitted if you call setChecked().

If the check box is checked, checked is true; it is false if the check box is unchecked.

Property Documentation

◆ alignment

QGroupBox::alignment

readwrite

the alignment of the group box title.

Most styles place the title at the top of the frame. The horizontal alignment of the title can be specified using single values from the following list:

\list

Qt::AlignLeft aligns the title text with the left-hand side of the group box.
Qt::AlignRight aligns the title text with the right-hand side of the group box.
Qt::AlignHCenter aligns the title text with the horizontal center of the group box. \endlist

The default alignment is Qt::AlignLeft.

◆ checkable

QGroupBox::checkable

readwrite

whether the group box has a checkbox in its title

If this property is true, the group box displays its title using a checkbox in place of an ordinary label. If the checkbox is checked, the group box's children are enabled; otherwise, they are disabled and inaccessible.

By default, group boxes are not checkable.

If this property is enabled for a group box, it will also be initially checked to ensure that its contents are enabled.

See also: checked

Definition at line 106 of file qgroupbox.h.

◆ checked

QGroupBox::checked

readwrite

whether the group box is checked

If the group box is checkable, it is displayed with a check box. If the check box is checked, the group box's children are enabled; otherwise, the children are disabled and are inaccessible to the user.

By default, checkable group boxes are also checked.

See also: checkable

Definition at line 106 of file qgroupbox.h.

◆ flat

QGroupBox::flat

readwrite

whether the group box is painted flat or has a frame

A group box usually consists of a surrounding frame with a title at the top. If this property is enabled, only the top part of the frame is drawn in most styles; otherwise, the whole frame is drawn.

By default, this property is disabled, i.e., group boxes are not flat unless explicitly specified.

{Note:} In some styles, flat and non-flat group boxes have similar representations and may not be as distinguishable as they are in other styles.

Definition at line 106 of file qgroupbox.h.

◆ title

QGroupBox::title

readwrite

the group box title text

The group box title text will have a keyboard shortcut if the title contains an ampersand ('&') followed by a letter.

In the example above, \uicontrol Alt+U moves the keyboard focus to the group box. See the \l {QShortcut::mnemonic}{QShortcut} documentation for details (to display an actual ampersand, use '&&').

There is no default title text.
