Replacing a Layout

[MarekR22]

IMHO proper solution to your problem is writing new layout. Curently you are trying enforce grid layout to do something else then it was design for.
Read documentation about subclassing QLayout and write new kind of layout.
It would be nice if you specify what you are trying to achieve (this is quite comon mistake when posting new thread in forums, describing how you are trying solve some problem instead describe your primary problem/objective).

Hey,

thank you for your support.
As mentioned before, i am trying to readjust my labeled icons in terms of their position, as the window filemanager does (e.g.). That means, that if i resize my window to let's say 300 px in width, i want my layout to show 3 icons per row, resizing it to 400px should then show 4 icons per row etc.. In the end, it should never happen - that resizing my window results in margin growth or icon size growth.

I now have written a custom QWidget for every labeled icon. I will try to read something about reimplementing a QLayout, as every try to either delete the widgets or replace the layout however resulted in ghost-icons and/or a horrific computation time.
I am thankful for every help :-)!

Thats sounds just like what the QFLowLayout does.

It seems that jambi does not support a QFlowLayout - so i have to reimplement it - or am i missing something?

Hey,

i now reimplemented a flow layout for jambi and it's working just fine. I only have an issue using a scrollbar with it - as the the flow layout should be resizeable in width, but should use a scrollbar in height. I don't really understand how i can realize this.

The scrollbars are handled by a QScrollArea. The QScrollArea has a "widget" that has to be set explicitely. This will be your custom flowlayouted widget. This works. I have done this before, also with a custom flow layout.
