    1. I failed to find a component like SplitContainer in Visual Studio.
    2. I failed to find a Dock property that allows to a child component stretch with a parent component - left, right, all.

      Regarding 2: you could have a look at https://forum.qt.io/topic/98549/qt-advanced-docking-system

      Regards

      Qt has to stay free or it will die.

        Thank you. How can I put this bunch of the code in my project? It says - Open the ads.pro with QtCreator and start the build, that's it. Then what? Do I get any dll? Another point - my app should run on Linux - it supports Ubuntu 19.10 and Kubuntu 18.04 and Kubuntu 19.10. But my app runs on Debian lower version.

          Hi
          What does a split container do ?
          There is QSlitter that can divide a widget into 2 resizeable parts.
          But since i dont know the VS version its hard to recommend how to get same effect.

            It's like two panels separated with a line. If I move this line up/down - one panel grows and the other shrinks, and vice versa.
            Can not say anything about QSlitter - I don't see it in the visual components tab.

                Hi
                That really sounds like a QSplitter.
                Try select 2 widgets and right-click, from the layout sub menu, you can choose a splitter.
                That will place the selected widgets in a layout that allows resizing the 2 parts.

                  Thanks a lot. It works good. The same way should be option to dock components, shouldn't it? can not find...

                    Hi
                    What do you mean by that ?
                    The only dockable widges are DockWidgets that can both float as windows and be embedded
                    into a widget/form. However it can contain any other widget you want.

                    Any widget can be embedded into any widget using layouts but im not sure if you mean that by
                    dock components ?

                      I have a tabWidget on a MainWindow. When I resize the MainWindow, make it bigger, the tabWidget stays the same size, it looks ugly. I want it to stretch along with the MainWindow.

                      The same goes for the components on the tab - they should resize along with the tab.

                          I think it refers to Qt Quick Application where I create the visual components in my program. In my case - Qt Widget Application - can't grasp it - how can apply this layout to my widgets I drag from the components tab?

                            You can set layouts programmatically or do it via designer. Once everything is set properly you will get what you need (from the designer you can test using tools -> form editor -> preview.
