Adding a custom widget into an existing layout.
-
Sooo, I got it. I think this is actually the proper way to do it, right? At least it's staying centered now. But the other qestions remain? Is this the way to do it?
static_cast<QGridLayout *>(ui->gridLayout)->addWidget(b, 0, 1, Qt::AlignCenter);Thanks anyway for reading?

Why do you need a cast here?

You're abolutely right :D
It's just an artifact from previous attempts.
Thanks! -
When you won't add your widget by code but directly in the designer you can take a look at promoting widgets.

Already did that, but thanks. Unfortunatly I want to add them in my code.

Hi
Just as a note. when i want to insert dynamically into a Designer created
ui, i often just add some test widgets and then go to the generated
code (in the setupUI function) and see how its inserted. This is especially useful for complex layouts. -

Is there any way to edit the auto generated code?
You should not as next time you build your project auto generated code will be overwritten :-)

Hi
You must copy the code and make it your own.
But its very handy to visually build something and then get the code to create it dynamically.
