Adding Widgets to widgets

Is it possible to add widgets to a widget?

Basically, widgets are added to the layout. I've done so in my coding but it does not give me the desired result.

You cant add a widget to a widget directly.

The widget's content is organized in layouts, where you can have multiple sub-widgets.

You can set a widget as parent of another and show it (floating) within parent widget's boundings, but that's not really "adding"

Then please show the code and tell us what your desired result is and what you get...

     int n=20;
    QGridLayout *mSDLayout = new QGridLayout();
    QMap <int,QWidget*>dTWidgets;
    QMap <int, QLabel*>Names;
    QMap <int ,QTableWidget *> dTs;

    FlowLayout *flowLayout=new FlowLayout(); // Parent Layout

      for (int ii=0;ii<n;ii++)
        {

          dTWidgets[ii] =new QWidget();  

//          mSDLayout->addWidget(dTWidgets[ii],0,ii);
          mSDLayout->addWidget(dTWidgets[ii],0,ii,Qt::AlignCenter);


          Names[ii] =new QLabel(QString("Name %1").arg(ii+1));

          flowLayout->addWidget(Names[ii]);
          flowLayout->setAlignment(Names[ii],Qt::AlignHCenter);

          dTs[ii] = new QTableWidget(); 
          flowLayout->addWidget(dTs[ii]);
          dTWidgets[ii]->setLayout(flowLayout);

This gives me following result [with inactive flowLayout functionality]

dTWidgets[ii]->setLayout(flowLayout);

Why?!

Your dTWidgets widgets should be set in flowLayout, not other way around.

Also, why do you use QMap instead of QVector?

Sorry to have put it here, this code was meant to be posted for FlowLayout Qs :
