How to set stretch in proper way in QGridLayout?

TomNow99

Hi,

I would like to have a red QGridLayout. In this grid I would like to have a green QGridLayout and blue GridLayout.
In this blue QGridLayout I would like to have 4 QLabels ( yellow ).

I would like to set 3 in the first ( zero if we start from zero ) row stretch in red QGridLayout and I would like don't add any widgets to green QGridLayout.
I would like to set 2 in the second ( first if we start from zero) row stretch in red QGridLayout.

So my goal is have picture on the left. Now I have situation on the right picture.

My code:
( whole - red QGridLayout, info - blue, images - green, l1,l2,l3,l4 - labels )

    whole = new QGridLayout;
    info = new QGridLayout;
    images = new QGridLayout;

    l1 = new QLabel("aaaaaa");
    l2 = new QLabel("bbbbbbb");
    l3 = new QLabel("cccccccc");
    l4 = new QLabel("ddddddd");

    l1->setStyleSheet("QLabel {background:red}");
    l2->setStyleSheet("QLabel {background:red}");
    l3->setStyleSheet("QLabel {background:red}");
    l4->setStyleSheet("QLabel {background:red}");

    l1->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored,QSizePolicy::Ignored);
    l2->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored,QSizePolicy::Ignored);
    l3->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored,QSizePolicy::Ignored);
    l4->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored,QSizePolicy::Ignored);

    info->addWidget(l1,0,0);
    info->addWidget(l2,0,1);
    info->addWidget(l3,1,0);
    info->addWidget(l4,1,1);

    whole->addLayout(images,0,0);
    whole->addLayout(info,1,0);

    whole->setRowStretch(0,3);
    whole->setRowStretch(1,2);

If you dont want to make further changes (overall result should look like the example on the left), you dont need three QGridLayouts. Only the blue one has to be a grid.

Red (VBoxLayout)
- Green Layout ( 1/2 size of red)
- Blue (GridLayout for yellow content) (1/2 size of red)

But why my code doesn't works?

Your drawing is vivid as usual :)
It seems that the stretch factor will be ignored for an empty layout.
If you really need to put an empty square here, I suggest you to use a QWidget instead of just a QGridLayout.
You can set a QGridLayout to that QWidget if you need to add items to the square later.
