I'm fiddling with a bug report hoping to learn how to manipulate a check box in a kcontrol dialog.
I successfully added the checkbox and the check box functions correctly.
The next step is I want the check box indented under the previous check box to signify a dependency relationship:
| | Check box | | New check box
The control layouts are defined in a *.ui file. What is the correct way (examples) in a *.ui file to indent controls? I started playing with <grid></grid> and row/column. I had some nominal success but I don't really understand how row/column/rowspan/colspan all work together.
Second, the new check box should be disabled or ghosted when the parent check box is unchecked/disabled. The new check box should be enabled only when the parent check box is enabled/checked. Is that done in the *ui file or in the C++ code?
Thanks.

Anybody?
This is in reference to bug report 258.
I figured out how to disable (signals and slots). I just need help with the indenting.

The check box can be indented by a fixed space via a spacer widget, but I suspect that will not yield consistent/correct results across various widget styles. The spacer widget would ideally be set to the width of a checkbox by querying the pixel metrics of the current style via TQStyle::PM_IndicatorWidth. Here is some untested example code which should be run immediately after creation of the GUI elements and before they are shown:
MySpacer->setWidth(kapp->style().pixelMetric(TQStyle::PM_IndicatorWidth));

So the line above goes in the cpp? Nothing goes in the ui file?
Are there some examples elsewhere I can study to learn?
