Move label in QVBoxLayout()

Samuel Bachorik

Hello everyone, i am adding widgets (labels) to QVBoxLayout() is any way to organise them inside QVBoxLayout()? Move to position i need. When i try to use move or resize it is not working.

Hi,

If you want to reorder them your can use replaceWidget and then insertItem with the item returned by replaceWidget. Or takeAt.

@Samuel-Bachorik
Not sure whether you mean what @SGaist has answered --- i.e. you are talking about inserting & removing the labels within the QVBoxLayout --- or whether you are talking about actually moving labels to a particular position, which you should be doing via adding sub-layouts/stretches/alignment etc.?

I am talking about moving my labels to exact position.

As you can see here, these labels are wide as my QVBoxLayout() or Qwidget. How can i make these labels smaller?
Also how can i move this labels from left side of window. I dont understand how this is wokring. Simply i add label and i can not do anything with it ? Iam leaving also code.

from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt, QSize
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic
import sys
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon, QPixmap
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *

import sys



class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setGeometry(200, 250, 900, 600)
        self.setWindowTitle("Hello")

        self.scroll = QScrollArea()
        self.scroll.setFixedWidth(350)
        self.scroll.setFixedHeight(500)
        self.widget = QWidget()
        self.widget.setFixedWidth(350)

        self.vbox = QVBoxLayout()


        self.namer2 = ["a","b","c","d","e","b","c","d","e","b","c","d","e"]
        self.counter2 = 0

        for i in range(50):
            self.namer2[self.counter2] = QLabel("Hello  \nall\nguys")  # AS YOU CAN SEE HERE IAM ADDING LABEL BUT HOW TO MOVE AND MAKE IT SMALLER ? 
            self.namer2[self.counter2].setStyleSheet("background-color: lightgreen")
            self.namer2[self.counter2].resize(20, 50)
            self.namer2[self.counter2].setFont(QFont('Arial', 12))

            self.vbox.addWidget(self.namer2[self.counter2])
            self.vbox.addSpacing(65)


        self.widget.setLayout(self.vbox)

        #Scroll Area Properties
        self.scroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOn)
        self.scroll.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt.ScrollBarAlwaysOff)
        self.scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
        self.scroll.setWidget(self.widget)



        self.setCentralWidget(self.scroll)


        self.show()



def main():
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    main = MainWindow()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

You can set their maximum size.

What exactly are you after ?

Maybe, maybe not. If you explain what you are trying to achieve, then we might be able to assist a bit more.

@SGaist I am trying to make something like chat app. I made this in photoshop just o show how i want this to looks like. Labels like this. Of course text on them. And scroll down and up. These labels should be messages. I just can not fit something like this in QScrollArea().

SGaist

In that case you should rather use a QListView and a custom QStyledItemDelegate.

Thank you i will try tomorrow soon as possible.
