I'm posting this thread to ask is there any layout tips, possibly website, forum posts, etc.
The reason why I ask is because I come from the Visual Studio .rc file way where I would place the absolute positions and control dynamically through code. Now I know I can do that in Qt as well, however I want to try out using the recommended layout method with spacers, horizontal/vertical/grid/etc layouts.
So far in my playing with Qt I've been able to use the layouts but I have a hard time conceptualizing how to do this will LOTs of controls on a page. For example say I have my page all built up nice and I want to add another control...breaking the layouts to place the control and then building back up the layouts is a pain. I know you can drag and drop into the current layout but copying and pasting an already setup control didn't quite seem to work.
I guess I'm just asking how are you guys building your user interfaces? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
