rows don't span in a grid layout.

[ntos]

Hi,

Here is the code:

Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent)
    : QDialog(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    QGridLayout* glayout = new QGridLayout(this);
    QPushButton* pushButton = new QPushButton("span");
    glayout->addWidget(pushButton, 0, 0, 2, 2);
    glayout->addWidget(new QPushButton("normal"),2,0);

}
The result:

Why doesn't the row span to the next row like the column?

Thank you.

@ntos What makes you think it does not? The QPushButton will not grow vertically and yoiu have nothing else to reference it to in those rows. See this, for example:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QGridLayout>
#include <QFrame>
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QWidget>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
        QApplication app(argc, argv);

        QWidget w;
        QGridLayout* glayout = new QGridLayout(&w);
        QPushButton* pushButton = new QPushButton("span");
        glayout->addWidget(pushButton, 0, 0, 2, 2);
        glayout->addWidget(new QPushButton("normal"),2,0);

        QFrame *frame = new QFrame(&w);
        frame->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Box | QFrame::Plain);
        glayout->addWidget(frame, 0, 2);
        frame = new QFrame(&w);
        frame->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Box | QFrame::Plain);
        glayout->addWidget(frame, 1, 2);
        frame = new QFrame(&w);
        frame->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Box | QFrame::Plain);
        glayout->addWidget(frame, 2, 2);

        w.resize(640, 480);
        w.show();

        return app.exec();
}

Result:

@ChrisW67 . Thank you. I forgot to set the size policy for the vertical dimension.
