Hello!

I have a window with a 2*2 grid where the top right position takes up most of the space in the window.
In the top left grid position, which is tall and narrow I would like to have som QLabels etc both in the top and in the bottom

By default they all end up in the top of course.
I have tried to arrange these widgets in a grid and using setRowMinimumHeight very large for example row 3 to push row 4 downwards. This works ok until you resize the window.
How can I put these widgets at the bottom?

grid->addWidget(label, 4,0, Qt::AlignBottom);

does not work, it still ends up just below the widget at position (3,0).

I have also tried to use QHBoxes in a QVBox (instead of a grid) but I dont know how to get some of the widgets to align to the bottom?

Thanks for your help!

That doesnt change anything for me. Strange.

Here is the code:

void MainWindow::setupSettingsBox()
{
QWidget* dummyWidget = new QWidget( settingsBox_ ); //settingsBox_ is a QGroupBox member variable which is placed in the top left corner of the main grid.

QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout(dummyWidget);

{
QLabel* windSpeedLabel = new QLabel( "Wind speed:",dummyWidget );
windSpeedLabel->setFixedSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);

windSpeedLineEdit_ = new QLineEdit(dummyWidget);
windSpeedLineEdit_->setFixedSize(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT);
windSpeedLineEdit_->setText("10");
connect(windSpeedLineEdit_, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString &)), this, SLOT(validateLineEdits() ));

QHBoxLayout* windLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
windLayout->addWidget(windSpeedLabel);
windLayout->addWidget(windSpeedLineEdit_);

layout->addLayout(windLayout);
}

{

QLabel* sizeLabel = new QLabel( "Size:", dummyWidget );
sizeLabel->setFixedSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);

sizeList_ = new QComboBox (dummyWidget);
sizeList_->setFixedSize(WIDTH/2,HEIGHT);
connect(sizeList_, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(int)), this, SLOT( sizeHasChanged()));

sizeList_->clear();

std::stringstream ss;
int index = 0;
for (unsigned int size = 5; size <= 17; ++size) {
ss.str("");
ss << size;
QString str(ss.str().c_str());
sizeList_->insertItem(index, str);
index++;
}
int defaultIndex = sizeList_->findText("12");
sizeList_->setCurrentIndex(defaultIndex);

QHBoxLayout* sizeLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
sizeLayout->addWidget(sizeLabel);
sizeLayout->addWidget(sizeList_);

layout->addStretch(100); //This line does not change anything.
layout->addLayout(sizeLayout);

}
}

Ok, now I found the error.

If i dont use the dummyWidget and lets the QLabels etc have the settingsbox_ as parent it works.

(For some reason I had to use a dummyWidget before and I just did the same again...)

Thanx!!
