Widgets inside Graphics View

In order to show a neat feature of Graphics View, take a look at the following code snippet, which adds a widget to the scene:

QSpinBox *box = new QSpinBox;
QGraphicsProxyWidget *proxyItem = new QGraphicsProxyWidget;
proxyItem->setWidget(box);
scene()->addItem(proxyItem);
proxyItem->setScale(2);
proxyItem->setRotation(45); 

First, we create a QSpinBox and a QGraphicsProxyWidget element, which act as containers for widgets and indirectly inherit QGraphicsItem. Then, we add the spin box to the proxy widget by calling addWidget(). When QGraphicsProxyWidget gets deleted, it calls delete on all assigned widgets, so we do not have to worry about that ourselves. The widget you add should be parentless and must not be shown elsewhere. After setting the widget to the proxy, you can treat the proxy widget like any other item. Next, we add it to the scene and apply a transformation for demonstration. As a result, we get this:
