dynamically building qdialog at runtime

Yes, you created a new set of widgets instead of reusing those you already had. Since you removed the original layout but didn't remove the widgets in it, the widgets stayed where they were and new ones were put in the newly created layout.

LOL

I already was wondering about those 'new QLabel' etc.

Thanks.

I still haven't got it right. I have created the widgets in the constructor in stead of on the stack.
When I set the layout of box2 to a simple widget, it works, but if I set it to layout2, the program crashes badly.

//----------------------------------
void Edit::makeform(bool landscape)
{
layout1->addRow(labelname, editname);
layout1->addRow(labeldate, editdate);
layout1->addRow(labeltime, edittime);
box1->setLayout(layout1);
layout2->addRow(labeldst, editdst);
box2->setLayout(layout2);
vlayout->addWidget(box1);
vlayout->addWidget(box2);
vlayout->addWidget(buttons);
setLayout(vlayout);
setWindowTitle(landscape ? "landscape" : "portrait");
}

//----------------------------------
void Edit::makeform(bool landscape)
{
layout1->addRow(labelname, editname);
layout1->addRow(labeldate, editdate);
layout1->addRow(labeltime, edittime);
box1->setLayout(layout1);
layout2->addRow(labeldst, editdst);
box2->setLayout(layout2);
vlayout->addWidget(box1);
vlayout->addWidget(box2);
vlayout->addWidget(buttons);
setLayout(vlayout);
setWindowTitle(landscape ? "landscape" : "portrait");
}
