Insert widgets from the left in an horizontal layout

ivanicy

Hello!

I am doing a task in which I have to insert widgets in an horizontal layout. How can I do to insert them by the left?

Thank you very much!

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qboxlayout.html#insertWidget. QBoxLayout::insertWidget(int index, QWidget *widget) inserts (at the left) if you pass e.g. 0 for index.

@JonB Yes but, when I want to insert another widget... if I do that, it will overlay it

No it won't, that's why the method is insert widget, and docs say it inserts! :) There is no "replacing/overlaying". Why don't you try it?

As a different approach, there is also https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qboxlayout.html#Direction-enum, QBoxLayout::RightToLeft, which would let you use addWidget() and put it at the left instead of the normal right. But it's really the same sort of thing.

@JonB Oh, sorry man. I tried it yesterday with addWidget method. But with insertWidget works fine!! Thank you very much!

:) Even addWidget() won't "replace/overlay", addWidget() is only insertWidget(-1), they both "insert" at the end.
