Formatting Object in Form Layout

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

mzimmers

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...

kshegunov

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

mzimmers

@kshegunov same thing: AlignLeft, AlignVCenter.

SGaist

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 ?

mzimmers

Tried it...no change.

SGaist

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.

Thanks for looking...

SGaist

Sorry but I have a 404 error for that link.

mzimmers

Odd...so do I now. Let's try again with another host:

SGaist

Worked !

But it's requiring IpSource which is rightfully missing

mzimmers

Here's ipsource.ui:

SGaist

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.

mzimmers

Yes it does. That's kind of wild.

I'm not quite sure what this says about the QFrame and QGroupBox classes, but I guess the answer is not to use either inside a grid if you care about your spacing.

Anyway, thanks for chasing this down.

It may be that they add spacing for a title label (at least the group box should) or there's some margin set which isn't apparent from the designer. In any case @SGaist's advice is valid - use QWidgets as placeholders in 95% of cases.
