Widget Margins

[qtoptus]

When I set the layout of a parent widget, for example to horizontal, the child (contained widgets) are aligned correctly except the margins w.r.t their parent are changed (shifted) differently than what I set in the designer. I tried to change the grid granularity but the problem remains. I need to keep the child widget(s) within specific margins and still maintains the layout policy.

Is there something I need to do? Any setting?

Thanks.

Please post your ui file and tell us what you mean exactly.

Here's the buttons how they should be aligned before and after setting their container (tabbed widget) to horizontal layout:

You seem to be wanting to adjust the layoutSpacing and layout*Margin properties of the tab layout.

I've accompanied the UI file. Although I set a horizontal layout for the buttons, I cannot find it on the Designer object list.

You are forcing a maximum size of the tab widget so the layout can't expand your widget to make necessary space. Forcing absolute sizes of widgets is in general a BadThing(TM). Remove the maximumSize property from all widgets on the form and everything will work as expected.

The spacing, or the layout granularity is unaffected. The buttons still have fixed spacing from the boundaries of their container and each other.

I think Designer has missed an option to set granularity of layout...not to mention that the layout I set are inaccessible on the object selector. Weird!

Did you modify the values of spacing for the layout?

I don't think so.

Sure it is.

Thanks a lot. That worked. :)
