    Thanks for taking the time to do that, kshegunov. So, I guess the takeaway is that pretty much everything needs layouts? I'd been limiting my use of them to where I could see they were needed, but if failing to use them results in stuff (like my radio buttons) not showing up, then I guess they're needed in more places than are immediately evident.

      Yes, pretty much. The widget depends on its layout to manage the geometry of the children, so if there's none the children float freely. Child layouts (the ones in red) are much more rarely needed, but the widgets have to have them to display properly.

        Makes sense. With the addition of some spacers, I was able to get the layout a little more to my liking.

        So, what's the verdict on my IP selector: should I be using a Frame or a QGroupBox?

          Use whatever gets you the result you are looking for.

            Right now, I'm experiencing the same spacing problem with either.

            What might I be doing to create that large gap between the Device Name and the IP Assignment Source?

              Might be a silly question but do you have any empty row ?

                  Is it me or does it look like your widget is somehow aligned on the bottom of the grid rather than the center ?

                    Are you referring to the IP Assignment Source widget (the one you can't see)? According to the Property Editor, it's centered.

                    The amount of space suggests that the grid "thinks" there's another line to go in between "Device Name" and "IP Assignment Source." I don't know whether that's possible, though...

                      What about the actual widget you insert? The small one?

                          I wonder if it's because you have the label that is currently wrapping. For the sake of testing, can you change the text to one word to see if it changes anything ?

                              Since it's a designer created widget, would it be possible to post the source of that widget so we can take a look at it ? I'm running out of ideas.

                                      But it's requiring IpSource which is rightfully missing

                                          Making it IpSource a simple QWidget with the two radio buttons in a vertical layout from which your put all margins to 0 seems to do the trick.
