Attempting to add QLayout "" to myWidget "myWidget", which already has a layout

deleted396

Hello friends.

I am developing a interface to my program. I have some widget implemented. I am using Graphics form to develop the widget and always I place the objects with graphics layout, not with code.

When I finish a new widget, I always use the option "Lay Out in a Grid" in the main QWidget to place all the objects in the middle ( With spacers in top,bot,left and right side) and keep the objects in the same place when i select the fullscreen.

Now I have created a new widget, I did the same that in the others but i receive the message "Attempting to add QLayout "" to myWidget "myWidget", which already has a layout".

Solutions?

Hi,

What's the base class of myWidget ? If it's a QMainWindow, then it already has a layout that does all the magic that you get with that class (dock widget, toolbars, etc.).

You're doing something like

QWidget *w1 = new QWidget;
QHBoxLayout *lay = new QHBoxLayout(w1);
QHBoxLayout *lay2 = new QHBoxLayout(<whatever>);
w1->setLayout(lay2);
