KMultiTabBar and KParts::MainWindow

Hi,

I'm wondering how I'm supposed to do the layout for my application. The application consists of a KParts::MainWindow and a KMultiTabBar to the left:



The toolbar is overlapping the tabbar and the kpart. The code looks like this now:

kavr::kavr()
    : KParts::MainWindow(0, "kavr")
{
 
    m_mapper = new QSignalMapper(this);
 
    // Create a KMultiTabBar.   
    m_tabBar = new KMultiTabBar(KMultiTabBar::Vertical, this);
    m_tabBar->setPosition(KMultiTabBar::Left);
 
 
    // Create a tab.    
    m_tabBar->appendTab(0, -2, "Files");
    QWidget *tab = m_tabBar->tab(-2);
    m_tabBar->showActiveTabTexts(true);
    m_tabBar->setTab(-2, true);
 
 
    // Set the shell's ui file.
    setXMLFile("kavr_shell.rc");
 
    // Setup our actions.
    setupActions();
 
    // Load the appropriate library.
    KLibFactory *factory = KLibLoader::self()->factory("libkyzispart");
 
    // Cast the KPart to a KtextEditor::Editor.
    m_part = static_cast<KTextEditor::Editor*>(factory->create(this, "ktexteditor_part", "KTextEditor::Editor") );
 
    // Add a layout to the mainwindow.  
    m_layout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
    m_layout->add(m_tabBar);
    m_layout->add(m_part->widget() );
    m_layout->activate();// If the part was created successfully...
 
    if (m_part)
    {
        // Tell the mainwindow that this is the mainwidget.
        setCentralWidget(m_part->widget() );
 
        // Integrate the part's GUI with our mainwindow.
        createGUI(m_part);
    }


Any ideas how to arrange the layout?

Thanks in advance,

Usually MainWindows already have a layout.

Try creating a QFrame, using it as the CentralWidget and add the two other widgets and your layout to the frame

Thanks for the tip, however I can't get it to work properly.



I tried to do what you suggested, it's possible that I misunderstood you though:

I think the problem is that you pass "this" as the parent to the factory.

You could reparent m_part->widget() to m_mainFrame
