    Thanks for response.

    You are probably just missing:

    @QT += widgets@

    in your pro file.

    Nope, just checked to be sure. It's even appears on freshly created QtWidget program, as soon as you write #include <SomethingRelatedToLayout> somewhere. And it compiles on my notebook just fine. (and compiled before "something" happened to Qt/Creator).

      Can you check that the header hasn't been modified accidentally ?

        In mingw48_32\include\QtWidgets all headers haven't been modified since installation. I guess I'll have to reinstall my Qt. I want to know what caused this sort of behavior, though.

          Search/Replace on the wrong set of files, gremlins… There's a lot of possibilities

            Probably gremlins. Haven't touched any of qt files.
            Was just playing around in simple test widget project. Decided to change VBox to Grid and that happened.

              You might have had one or more of Qt's header file opened and did a search/replace on all opened documents and bam, there's your gremlins playing hell on your setup

                Is where a way to fix it without re-downloading all of the Qt?

                  You can try downloading only the sources, and replace the headers with those from the sources

                      You're welcome !

                      If you have everything working now, please update the thread title prepending [solved] so other forum users may know a solution has been found :)
