Dialog layout spacing issue

wazzdaman

Hello,

how can I remove these huge spaces around HSV pickers and over OK/Cancel buttons?

I tried to change it with setContentsMargins() and setSpacing() without any success.

Thanks a lot!

Win10, Qt5.15.8

void ColorDialog::createLayout()
{
    QVBoxLayout* mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    QHBoxLayout* hBoxLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
    QGridLayout* gridLayout = new QGridLayout;
    hBoxLayout->addWidget(hueSatPicker);
    hBoxLayout->addWidget(valPicker);
    gridLayout->addWidget(colorSample, 0, 0, 4, 1);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Hue")), 0, 1, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(hueSpinBox, 0, 2);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Saturation")), 1, 1, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(satSpinBox, 1, 2);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Value")), 2, 1, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(valSpinBox, 2, 2);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Red")), 0, 3, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(redSpinBox, 0, 4);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Blue")), 2, 3, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(blueSpinBox, 2, 4);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Green")), 1, 3, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(greenSpinBox, 1, 4);
    gridLayout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("Hex")), 3, 1, Qt::AlignRight);
    gridLayout->addWidget(hexLineEdit, 3, 2, 1, 4);
    mainLayout->addLayout(hBoxLayout);
    mainLayout->addLayout(gridLayout);
    mainLayout->addWidget(dialogButtonBox);
    setLayout(mainLayout);
}

Hi,

On which layout did you apply your custom constraints ?

@SGaist I tried on hBoxLayout and gridLayout too.

You did not add any spacer items so everything is stretched so it's using the whole size of the dialog.
I would suggest using the designer for this so you can play around with the different contraints and spacers more easily.

@Christian-Ehrlicher Awesome, spacers did the trick! Thanks a lot!
