    I'm writing a program that uses a QTabWidget as its base. To avoid putting everything in the same place, I'm using a QStackedWidget in one of the tabs so I can put several stuff there, which is a good idea for me.
    The problem is, I designed (on Qt Designer) a simple login form, but the problem is I can't seem to be able to center my design on the QStackedWdiget, the layout is always aligned to top-left. I have managed to use a QGridLayout to fake a CSS-like padding design, but I would really like to keep the layout I designed fixed-sized, and it is impossible with QGridLayout, as we all know.
    The question is: how can I have my layout centered in the widget, such that the widget would only fill the surrounds much like we can do in QML with the anchors?

    Thanks in advance.

      you can use spacers to move your form into the center
      else you can use the alignment parameter in "QBoxLayout::addWidget(QWidget * widget, int stretch = 0, Qt::Alignment alignment = 0)":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qboxlayout.html#addWidget to align the elements in the center, but you have to layout the form using code and not designer

        Thanks for the answer, but the main problem is that QStackedWidget treats my widget as the page itself, therefore I can't add a Widget to the layout, since my Widget is the page itself.

          well, i never used QStackedWidget before, but you can use this turn around, add your widget to a layout and add this layout to an empty widget and use this one to be the page of the QStackedWidget

            I added a layout to the QBoxLayout, it looks like it works alright this way.
            Thanks for the help.
