Hi Mike,

although I understand the reasoning for hiding some widgets, the way this is implemented is not very sensible. In Qt widgets form a tree hierarchy that allows control of sub-trees by content alone. If you create a QWidget just to contain other widgets you can then simply hide or show the containing widget instead of having to maintain a whole list of contained widgets. A widget need not have any visible parts on screen i.e. it can simply be a container for other widgets.

The contained widgets do not just get their visibility from their containing widget, most of the properties of widgets are inherited if they are not set explicitly. This allows much simpler and lower maintenance UI designs.
