How to reduce space between two different columns in Qt?

patelvrajn

Shown below is the code and an image of the GUI I am currently working on. As you will notice, there is an abundant amount of space between the two columns in the App_Grid (The green box which is not part of the GUI, represents the space I am talking about). I have tried my best to reduce this space to as little as possible but I cannot seem to reduce it any further. Can someone please help me reduce this space further by enlarging the text edit on the right of the buttons column? On a side note, I don't understand the concept of the stretch property, would someone be able to explain that as well. Thank you in advance for any help.

@patelvrajn said in How to reduce space between two different columns in Qt?:

App_Grid->setSpacing(100);

Did you try smaller spacing?
