2.ClassA

Can be do the singnal and slot mechanism between these classes if yes then how.

3.Can we use both horizental and vertical layout in the same dialog.Can be use the horizental layout twice in a dialog.If yes then what error will occcur.

1. ui is XML file, you can edit it with any text editor
2. classA must inherit from QObject and mast have O_OBJECT macro. in one class you define signal and in other one define slot and connect signal to slot.
3. here i cant understand what is a problem

3. You can't use one specific layout twice but you can use as many layouts and sub layouts, horizontal, vertical or grid, as you want. I think you may need child Widgets to apply the sub layouts in that way:

(This is NO Qt code!)

topWidget
-> topVerticallayout
     -> rowWidget1
          -> horizontalLayout1
               -> columnwidget11
               -> columnwidget12
     -> rowWidget2
          -> horizontalLayout2
               -> columnwidget21
               -> columnwidget22
     -> rowWidget3
          -> horizontalLayout3
               -> columnwidget31
               -> columnwidget32

topWidget
-> topVerticallayout
     -> rowWidget1
          -> horizontalLayout1
               -> columnwidget11
               -> columnwidget12
     -> rowWidget2
          -> horizontalLayout2
               -> columnwidget21
               -> columnwidget22
     -> rowWidget3
          -> horizontalLayout3
               -> columnwidget31
               -> columnwidget32

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This very symmetrical structure, though, is normally better done with one gridLayout, which is very flexible.

Hi
Thnaks for reply.........1.but if we edit the XML file in any editor then to reflect the change we should compile it in QT designer.
2.I also think that without the help of Q_object we can't use signal and slot........
3.Why we can't use one specific layout twice

Thnaks for reply.........1.but if we edit the XML file in any editor then to reflect the change we should compile it in QT designer.

Designer doesn't compile anything. If you modify the ui file externally (which you shouldn't do), you don't have to open it in Designer.

2.I also think that without the help of Q_object we can't use signal and slot........

Without Q_OBJECT you can't use signals and slots.

3.Why we can't use one specific layout twice

You can use the same layout class (or different ones) as many times as you want.

Because it is only one instance. But you can instantiate as many layouts as you wish:
QHorizontalLayout *hLay1 = new (QHorizontalLayout());
QHorizontalLayout *hLay2 = new (QHorizontalLayout());
QHorizontalLayout *hLay3 = new (QHorizontalLayout());
and use them. But you can't use hLay1 twice.

You can't drive the BMW that your wife wants to take. That would lead to serious trouble when she tries to get in and take a seat (she'd crash). But you are always allowed to buy a similar one - depending on your ressources of course. Luckily memory is cheaper than bavarian cars.
