I have a dock widget which contains a stacked widget. The first page of the stacked widget contains a vertical layout with several widgets. In Qt Creator, and when I run the application, the right side of the display is cut off. I've included a screenshot of Qt Creator and a screenshot of the running application.

Hi
You used a red layout it seems.
Normally you would right-click and Apply a layout as the red ones are
meant to be inserted into other layouts.

So does the dock's widget have a layout?

I think its what's wrong from a quick look.

Bob K.

Thanks for the info about the red layouts.

When the dock widget was blank, I added the stacked widget. And right clicking on the stacked widget there were no layouts available.

Bob K.

I stand corrected. I was able to add a vertical layout to the dock widget and now the stacked widget display is correct.

Thank you.
