    That's why a minimal compilable example is useful: people work together on the same issue in the same conditions.

      @diniamo because it has a layout already. You are talking about something in the middle of a layout.
      write down all steps you have done from the beginning.

        Here, a minimal compilable example. As you can see Button2 won't move strictly to the left, next to Button1.

            Hello,
            Can you draw on paint or any other software and post here instead of linking to other platforms
            That will help you get your solution faster~

              Not everyone has access to google drive

              Sorry about that, I fixed it.

              But I also made a little drawing, if it's more understandable that way:

                Hi
                Super with both code and picture.

                However, its working as expected.

                The box layout is a bit special how it operates.
                When you put in 2 buttons. the area allocated to the layout is split into 2 parts of the same size.
                When you then ask a button to align left, it aligns left in the half area where it belongs.

                So it does align to the left as you can see on your picture.
                The right button is aligned to the left of its right part of the total area.

                You can press them to the left by using a Spacer

                  OK, thank you, that makes sense, and what if I want to fill out the remeaning space with a widget, let's say a QFrame?

                    Hi
                    Then you just insert the QFrame last. and area will then be divided in 3 of same size.
                    You can use columnStrech to alter how the space is shared.

                    alt text

                    Here we say we want QFrame to have more than the buttons.

                      Thank you, your messages were really helpful!
                      I now understand how these work a lot more.
