how to set the max vertical size of a "QHBoxLayout" embedded in a QWidget set as a grid?

[davecotter]

my object heirarchy looks like this:

and the visual geometry is this:

but i do not want the two HBox's to be evenly distributed, i want the top one to be vertically much shorter, like this screen shot showing me dragging the bottom edge up a bit:

but when i let go it snaps back to where it was, instead of having the bottom HBox expand to fill the exposed extra space.

i see "layoutSizeConstraint" but i can't find documentation on how to use it

okay apparently, WYSI-NOT-WYG

when i RUN the app, it sizes as expected

Hi,

I haven't used designer lately but I would go with the stretch factor. Set to one for the top part and two for the bottom to get started.
