Good practice for using QLayouts?

[jkwok678]

For when I use nested QLayouts should I be using QWidget's between them?
For example like below or just place the QHBoxLayout in the QVBoxLayout?

    QWidget *menu = new QWidget();
    QVBoxLayout *vboxLayout = new QVBoxLayout();
    QWidget *menu1 = new QWidget();
    vboxLayout->addWidget(menu1);
    QHBoxLayout *hboxLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
    menu1->setLayout(hboxLayout);
    menu->setLayout(vboxLayout);

No need to add intervening widgets if not needed, just add layouts onto layouts via https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qboxlayout.html#addLayout. Adding a child Q[HV]BoxLayout onto a parent Q[HV]BoxLayout is pretty common.
