Layout

Expander

A disclosure surface that reveals caller-supplied content with an optional animation.

Example

Expander: Header and content

Usage

Header and content

Use an Expander to keep secondary details available without showing them all the time.

#include <FluentQt/Layout.h>
using namespace fluent::layout;

auto* expander = new Expander(this);
expander->setHeaderText("Connection details");

auto* body = new QWidget;
auto* bodyLayout = new QVBoxLayout(body);
bodyLayout->setContentsMargins(16, 12, 16, 14);
bodyLayout->setSpacing(4);
bodyLayout->addWidget(new Label("Additional details", body));
bodyLayout->addWidget(new Label(
    "Server: api.example.com\nTransport: TLS 1.3", body));

expander->setContentWidget(body, WidgetOwnership::Owned);
expander->setExpandedAnimated(true, false);
