Can you set border to QVBoxLayout

Most of my widgets on the application are placed on the Grid:
On one of the grid slots, I have placed vertical layout
verticalLayout_7and within this layout I have multiple other horizontal layouts.Currently, my application looks like this:
My goal is to make a border around verticalLayout_7. This is just an example how I want this to look:
I would appreciate if someone could suggest a way to do this. Thanks in advance.

@lukutis222 Layouts are not widgets, so have no visual representation. But you can use for example QFrame if you need a border/frame around something.

@jsulm
Would you be able to clarify how do I use the QFrame exactly? I assume you dont just drag and drop it on top of the vertical layout:

Like any other widget. Put it in the layout where you currently have those widgets you want to have a border around them. Then and a layout to this frame and add those widgets to this layout.

@jsulm I dont believe that works for me.
I have placed the frame on my layout:
but I cannot put anything inside a frame. It seems like it is disabled. Any clues why that might be the case ?

You are right. I can place the widgets in the QFrame. I also had to ensure the widget is set to Vertical layout:
