    @Pl45m4 , its no-where near as good as it could be, I'm no fan of Microsoft but Microsofts Visual Studio was considerably easier to use and get better results from than Qt Creator and that's going back to the 1980s.

    I think that you are confusing Qt Creator with Qt Designer. Qt Creator also uses Designer embedded.
    Qt Designer only let's you design Ui files. Qt Creator is an IDE.
    Of course you can use Visual Studio for developing and Qt Designer to design Ui files (as I do).

      @ollarch , yes, you are correct. How do you use Visual Studio with the Qt palette of tools ?

      I have Visual Studio 2019.

      Kind Regards,

        @ollarch , here is the form I'm trying to get right in designer:
        Untitled.png
        What I would like to do is get all the labels on the left formatted to the same width and right aligned.

        Then have the figures that in the screenshot read:

        1832 of 46783
        

        Formatted so they are all left aligned to the Blocks label without all the whitespace.

        I would also like the Abort pushbutton resized and aligned to the bottom right of the form.

        Finally I would like the form height to have the same padding from the bottom of the Abort button as the border padding to the left and right.

        I've spent a long time trying and failing to resolve this.

        Kind Regards,
        Sy

          Then add a Horizontal Spacer at the right side of that line...

            @jsulm , easier said than done, how? I've dragged it onto the form an it appears below the row I want.

            [Edit] Done it, dragged and dropped directly onto the data where I want it.

            Kind Regards,

                  @ollarch , I'm getting so frustrated with it, its not WYSIWYG at all, I've just formatted it and was happy with the design, built project and the end result is nothing like it appears in the WYSIWYG editor.

                  Kind Regards,
                  Sy

                    Because the layouts apply after building (and displaying) your widget. So there might be some rearrangement.
                    The WYSIWYG editor shows how it could look like.

                      @Pl45m4 , then perhaps it could be WYSCBWYG :)
