I've done something similar, sans the arrow. I have a checkable
QGroupBox, whose sole child is a QFrame with no borders. All the
widgets I put into the QFrame. Then I connect the toggled(bool) signal
of the group box to the frame's setShown(bool) slot. That way, the
QFrame is hidden when the QGroupBox is un-checked. And you can do it
all from the Qt Designer: less hand-written code, yay!

Originally I meant to figure out how to customize the QGroupBox so
that it has an arrow (like in the example you're referencing) and not
a cross, but it's not high on the list. The check box works fine, IMO.

Cheers,

Håvard
