Qt About using layouts, widget parenting Grid layout example
Example
The grid layout is a powerful layout with which you can do an horizontal and vertical layout a once.
example:
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QWidget>
#include <QVBoxLayout>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QLabel>
#include <QLineEdit>
#include <QGroupBox>
#include <QTextEdit>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QMainWindow window;
QWidget *widget = new QWidget(&window);
QGridLayout *layout = new QGridLayout(widget);
window.setCentralWidget(widget);
widget->setLayout(layout);
QGroupBox *box = new QGroupBox("Information:", widget);
layout->addWidget(box, 0, 0);
QVBoxLayout *boxLayout = new QVBoxLayout(box);
QWidget* nameWidget = new QWidget(box);
QWidget* ageWidget = new QWidget(box);
QWidget* addressWidget = new QWidget(box);
boxLayout->addWidget(nameWidget);
boxLayout->addWidget(ageWidget);
boxLayout->addWidget(addressWidget);
QHBoxLayout *nameLayout = new QHBoxLayout(nameWidget);
nameLayout->addWidget(new QLabel("Name:"));
nameLayout->addWidget(new QLineEdit(nameWidget));
QHBoxLayout *ageLayout = new QHBoxLayout(ageWidget);
ageLayout->addWidget(new QLabel("Age:"));
ageLayout->addWidget(new QLineEdit(ageWidget));
QHBoxLayout *addressLayout = new QHBoxLayout(addressWidget);
addressLayout->addWidget(new QLabel("Address:"));
addressLayout->addWidget(new QLineEdit(addressWidget));
layout->addWidget(new QPushButton("Validate", widget), 1, 0);
layout->addWidget(new QPushButton("Reset", widget), 1, 1);
layout->addWidget(new QPushButton("Cancel", widget), 1, 2);
window.show();
return a.exec();
}
give :
so you can see that the group box is only in the first column and first row as the addWidget was layout->addWidget(box, 0, 0);
However, if you change it to layout->addWidget(box, 0, 0, 1, 3);, the new 0 and 3 represent how many line and column you want for your widget so it give :
exactly the same as you created a horizontal and then a vertical layout in a subwidget.
