labelLis = []
            self.comboList = []
            self.removeList = []

            for i, value in enumerate(_FRIEND_COLLECTION.find_one({'from': self.username[0]}), start=-2):
                if value in ['from', '_id']:

                labelLis.append(QLabel(value))
                self.comboList.append(QPushButton(f"Dm {value}"))
                self.removeList.append(QPushButton(f"Remove {value}"))
                formLayout.addRow(labelLis[i], self.removeList[i], self.comboList[i])

gives

How can I make it accept 3/possibly more arguments? Im using scroll area btw.

ps:

formLayout =QFormLayout()
groupBox = QGroupBox("There are your friends")

and:

groupBox.setLayout(formLayout)
            scroll = QScrollArea()
            scroll.setWidget(groupBox)
            scroll.setWidgetResizable(True)
            scroll.setFixedHeight(400)
            layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
            layout.addWidget(scroll)

Hi,

If you want to put more than one widget on a row, put them in a horizontal layout and add the layout to the QFormLayout.

@Caeden A QFormLayout has 2 columns, how would the 3 widgets (QLabel and 2 QPushButtons) be placed in the 2 columns?

If you want more columns then use QGridLayout:

gridLayout = QGridLayout()

row = 0
for i, value in enumerate(
    _FRIEND_COLLECTION.find_one({"from": self.username[0]}), start=-2
):
    if value in ["from", "_id"]:
        continue
    label = QLabel(value)
    button1 = QPushButton(f"Dm {value}")
    button2 = QPushButton(f"Dm {value}")
    gridLayout.addWidget(label, row, 0)
    gridLayout.addWidget(button1, row, 1)
    gridLayout.addWidget(button2, row, 2)
    row += 1

@eyllanesc
thanks, i'll try this - I wasn't aware that you could only place 2

[SGaist]

Then please read the QFormLayout documentation, you'll see what is possible.

@SGaist I'll read the docs next time. I had my suspicions but i also didnt think of the grid method. It works now, thanks eyllansc. I wasn't aware grid worked with scroll area. Thanks!
