gladevcp equivelent widgets?

I just redesigned a gtk2 ui to Qt, just the designer files so far I have to get help with the Python code. It was mostly straight forward except I noticed qtvcp seems to be missing some of the basic widgets equivelant to gladevcp, namely it's missing the hal-hbar hal-vbar and toggle buttons. Maybe I'm missing them or it's done differently in Qt?

In Qt , QPushbuttons with the 'checkable' property set will act as toggle buttons.

Currently, there is no 'HAL v/hbar widget. I've been meaning to get to it.

The is a qtvcp round progress bar.

There is also the QProgress bar, it can be made vertical too.
It has some limits. can't have multi colors, only supports integers.
QtAxis uses one for the spindle speed indicator.

Ah thanks, I don't think the "checkable" thing is very obvious.

Also, how do the radiobuttons handle grouping? In glade you assigned a group to the radiobuttons as slaves of the one named in the group. I don't see anything like that in designer.

Actually now that I preview the form I notice that it groups all the radiobuttons within a container. Is that how it works?

From memory...

By default radio buttons that are all in a container are considered a group,but you can right click the radio button and create/ add a group.

Very late but I just added a basic bar level widget to qtvcp. vertical , horizontal, invertible and multi colors, can use HAL inputs, qt signals or python code to set level.

Some docs have been added for HalBar in 2.9/master.
