How to update label position which is added on mainwindhow.ui using QT programatically?

[NageswaRao]

Hi Team, I have added one label called 'lable_new' on the "exampletwo.ui". This label is coming as expected when I run the QT application. But when I want to change the label position using programmatically using below the line in "exampletwo.php".

ui->lable_new->setGeometry(300, 500, 250, 250);

This newly, the updated position is coming and disappearing, and the label position is coming in old position instead of taking the above-updated position. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

What is this file? Looks like PHP.
Can you show actual code?
Is this label in a layout?

Yes. This label in a layout only

In this case the layout handles the position and size of the label. Why do you want to use setGeometry on a widget which is in a layout?

@jsulm When I move the mouse position, the label position also should move along with the mouse pointer. so I'm updating the label position.

@NageswaRao Then remove the label from layout

@jsulm you mean I need to add a label from the CPP code right? Like below link.

No, you just should not add it to any layouts
