Getting SplitterBar to use all the space available

Perdrix

QtDesigner :

I have been trying to get a splitter bar working with a QMainWindow.

The main windows has a central Widget called centralWidget.

To that I added a QWidget and a QStackedWidget

I then selected them both and selected to lay them out horizontally in a splitter.

I expected the Splitter to fill the space availbale in the central widget, but it didn't ... Do I need to apply a layout the centralWidget as well?

Update: Looks like the answer to that is YES I do. Somewhat surprised, but if that's what's needed!

Hi,

The splitter should be the central widget. Then you will get the result you are looking for.

Strange because I can't delete the central Widget so how can I replace it with a splitter?

Sorry, I am used to build UI 100% in code.

I do not remember if you can replace the central widget in designer. If that is not the case, you can change it in the .ui file directly.
