Formatting Object in Form Layout

[mzimmers]

Tried it...no change.

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.

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

Worked !

But it's requiring IpSource which is rightfully missing

[mzimmers]

Here's ipsource.ui:

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.
