The scroll area doesn't seem to be in a layout.

In any case, your actual code won't have the checkboxes in the "ui" part, since you are not going to do 100 of them manually.

So my suggestion would be to change that into the actual code right away
1) Add the scroll area to the dialog in Designer, properly layouted
2) Create a QWidget derived class and in its constructor create the checkboxes and put the into the widget's layout
3) In the dialog's constructor create an instance of that class and put it into the scroll area

Cheers,
