Struggling with QtDesigner and colocated controls

Perdrix

I have a windows dialog that I am trying to convert to a Qt using QtDesigner.

The windows rc file has a number of controls that are co-located and initially invisible. They are only made visible as needed and are laid out in two rows and two columns.

So it might look like:

or

The relevant portion of the .rc file looks like:

    CONTROL         "Dark Optimization",IDC_DARKOPTIMIZATION,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,7,133,72,10
    CONTROL         "Hot Pixels detection and removal",IDC_HOTPIXELS,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,7,119,127,10
    CONTROL         "Bad Columns detection and removal",IDC_BADCOLUMNREMOVAL,
                    "Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,140,119,161,10
    CONTROL         "Dark Multiplication Factor:",IDC_USEDARKFACTOR,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,140,133,93,10
    EDITTEXT        IDC_DARKMULTIPLICATIONFACTOR,235,133,31,8,ES_RIGHT | ES_AUTOHSCROLL | NOT WS_VISIBLE | NOT WS_BORDER
    CONTROL         "Debloom",IDC_DEBLOOM,"Button",BS_AUTOCHECKBOX | NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP,140,133,43,10
    LTEXT           "No Background Calibration",IDC_BACKGROUNDCALIBRATION,8,133,129,8,NOT WS_VISIBLE | NOT WS_GROUP
    PUSHBUTTON      "Settings...",IDC_DEBLOOMSETTINGS,184,130,50,14,NOT WS_VISIBLE

I'm struggling to achieve this in QtDesigner, and would appreciate some guidance.

Thanks, David

I managed to achieve what I wanted by placing all the controls into a GroupBox which let me locate them exactly where I wanted to. Placing one control on top of another control works just fine.

Hi
One option is to use a QStackWidget.
It allows you to have pages and in that way you can easily make such layout where you simply
switch page for the look 2.
