Centering a CheckBox in a GridLayout

andi456

Hi,
maybe there's something obvious, that I am missing, but after searching the web for quite some time, I haven't been able to find an answer to this. As the title of my post suggests I want to achieve something rather simple, i.e., I'd like to have QCheckBox instance without text horizontally centered in the middle of a GridLayout.

I found some hints regarding QStyleSheet, but couldn't find any really useful description of how to proceed to reach my goal.

Kind regards,

Andreas

@andi456 what have your tried? Can you show the picture of your layout?
OS + Qt version?

@JoeCFD Well, I constructed the Layout via QtCreator and it looks like this at the moment:

What does work, is, putting the checkBox field to the right, but not into the center.

@andi456 Use three columns for the TextLabel, put the checkBox in the center one.

@Christian-Ehrlicher You mean, a textlabel spanning over three columns, right? Ok, I think that will do trick.

Anyway, I just wonder, why there's no checkbox/radiobutton without a label attached to it.

Try right click on the checkbox -> layout alignment -> center horizontally

Because nobody forces you to actually put text there?! :)
If you want to center the checkBox within its own cell and not put it in the center of the whole GridLayout, what I initially thought you are trying to do, then @mpergand 's solution will do exactly this.

The code for it would look like this:

    gridLayout->setAlignment(yourCheckBox, Qt::AlignHCenter);

@Pl45m4 Thanks, it's sometimes a little bit confusing for me working with the design features of qt-creator.

Will set this to solved.

Kind regards.
