Button not aligned to the top in QHboxLayout

[thomasjohnaj]

I have layout with the settings as below

m_pLayout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
m_pLayout->setMargin(0);
m_pLayout->setContentMargin(0,0,0,0);
m_pLayout->setSpacing(0);

now I have created a custom widget derived from QAbstarctButton with sizePolicy fixed for both width and height

in SizeHint() method I am setting the fixed size for the widget

Now when I add the widget to the layout i am setting the alignment Top

m_pLayout->setAlignment(m_customWidget,Qt::lignTop)

where m_customWidget is the custom widget .

After setting the alignment to top the widget is not aligned to top. It is set at the centre

What Might be the reason, Am I missing something? please guide

@thomasjohnaj said in Button not aligned to the top in QHboxLayout:

m_pLayout->setAlignment(m_customWidget,Qt::lignTop)

Just, just in case, please check the return result of this method.

@JonB It was a mistake from my side, I was using m_pLayout->addWidget( m_customWidget, Qt::AlignTop) instead of m_pLayout->setAlignment(m_customWidget,Qt::AlignTop) ( event though in question I mentioned it ) it worked when I used setAlignment call.

But what is the difference from both the calls? Both have the options to set Alignemnt, but why first one didn't work for me.
