How to display 2 widgets on the same space?

Hi,

If I understand correctly. You can place bot items in the same x,y position. Then one of them can have setVisible(false) from the start. Then with the button you can set one to setVisible(true) and the other setVisible(false), the other button can do the inverse process false,true.

yes. something like that. but then how could I set the layout of the main window? because apart from these 2 widgets which should be on the top half of the main window I also have some widgets on the bottom half.

Why don't you just use a stacked widget to put the 2 upper widgets in ? Then you don't have to do any 'tricks', just select the other page of the stacked widget.

And the other widgets can easily be arranged below this stacked widget, maybe grouped into a frame or groupbox.

Best regards,
Marc
