Locking Widgets to the form

Omni_Philm

Hello all,

I am currently designing an interface in the Qt designer. Sometimes, my mouse acts funny and accidentally drags a widget that is behind the widget that I want to position.

Basically, I am wondering if there is any way that I can lock the position of a widget in the Qt designer?

Unfortunately not. However, Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on macOS) will quickly undo the wrong move.

How about using Layouts instead of absolute positioning? https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/layout.html

No problem, I wasn't sure if that feature was in the IDE or not. Just wanted to check.

Thank you
