    Did you set the form layout properly on the widget in designer ?

      By the way, why a form layout ?

      You should either have everything in a QVBoxLayout or if you want the buttons to be side by side, put them in a QHBoxLayout within the main QVBoxLayout.

        These layouts are not giving the required display. I have played with the different layouts. After putting the layout code along with the setcentralwidget, then it had worked when I had used on the mainwindow.

          So a table view on top of an add button on top of a delete button ? That's what QVBoxLayout is for.

            @SGaist I want the display as in image 2. The table occupies the entire window. I am getting as shown in Image 1

              If you get what's on image1 it means that you didn't apply the QVBoxLayout properly. With it these buttons can't be side by side unless:

              1. They are in a QHBoxLayout
              2. Not in a layout at all but you put them side by side on the widget in designer.

                The buttons are not the problem I want the tableview to occupy the entire dock but it is coming in a fixed size how much ever i increase the dock size.

                  hi
                  Here is a sample that uses a UI and scale with the dock
                  https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ipc9ap6hjvcpr9/ilovemydocks.zip?dl=0
                  Maybe it can provide some hint.
                  Note the UI is widget based for this to work.

                    I have changed the list widget to tablewidget and added the header columns.
                    You can observe that the table fits the entire dock. I have done same thing in my other code also but the table does not fit the entire dock (i have used tableview but i guess it should not matter).
                    Note: the dock code is same.

                      hi
                      A note
                      if u set setFixedSize, it wont be resizeable ?

                      Well the layout are in the UI file. Inserted as the first thing.

                      It sounds to me that your OTHER code is not using the layout
                      correctly?

                      The scaling is done via layout and layout is the first thing to insert into
                      the UI. then the rest of the controls. Matters not which Widgets. All can
                      be managed by a layout.

                        I dont want the dock to be resizeable but the tableview to fit the dock entirely. I have commented out all the layout code and put vertical layout in the designer. Still, I get the same problem.

                          well if the layout is applied correctly, you can see at once in Designer that
                          it works so there must be something wrong.

                          To put the vertical layout, you
                          right click and go to the layout menu ?

                              Those are for floating layouts or layout in layout.

                              To apply layout, simply right click the form,
                              and use the Layout menu. That will scale.
                              Do not drag from the left. Right click. :)

                              You dont have to remove the red layout. Simply right click outside and apply

                                  Np. The drag able layout are a bit non intuitive :)
                                  Note:
                                  If you have a completely new form with no widgets, you must
                                  place 1 widget on form for the right click menu to be active . that
                                  fooled me a lot in the beginning. :)
