GridLayout Help

[Marcus Adamski]

Hello there,

I'm using GridLayout for the first time and looking to create a simple Dlg:

        grid_layout = QGridLayout()
        grid_layout.addWidget(self._info_lbl, 0, 0, rowSpan=2, columnSpan=3)
        grid_layout.addWidget(QLabel("name: "), 2, 0, rowSpan=1, columnSpan=1)
        grid_layout.addWidget(self._name_txt, 2, 1, rowSpan=1, columnSpan=2)
        grid_layout.addWidget(QLabel("type: "), 3, 0, rowSpan=1, columnSpan=1)
        grid_layout.addWidget(self._types_cmb, 3, 1, rowSpan=1, columnSpan=2)
        grid_layout.addWidget(self._button_box, 4, 0, rowSpan=1, columnSpan=3)
        self.setLayout(grid_layout)

However, the problems are:

• I was expecting the label in the first row to be allocated 2 rows, but it only uses one
• the LineEdit and Combo are on the far right of the layout and only appear to be taking up one column
• I would like to add a margin / space between the buttons and the above controls. What's the best approach for this?

Could anyone point me in a direction for a good tutorial on GridLayout and spanning / SizePolicy, so I can understand this better.

Much appreciated,
Marcus

Hi,

Can you provide a minimal runnable script that shows that behaviour ?

Which version of PyQt/PySide are you using ?
