maybe you should try adding widgets to the main widget without specifying any layout...that should do what you want,i think(not sure but worth a try)...
EDIT-ok that was stupid of me... i think its the QGridLayout you're looking for...it should do what that pic shows...what didn't work for you in it? -
the problem with grid layout it is fixed for eg. if i specify a grid layout of 2 rowsw each contains 5 widgets so they will take whole parent widget and spacing between them increases and decreases as i change the widow/widget size and they does not allow me to append and actually quite stupid.
the first one i have tried did,nt worked -
@
#include "mainw.h"MainW::MainW(QWidget *parent) :
QWidget(parent)
{
noi=0;
row=1;
col=1;
layout=new QGridLayout;
QPushButton *button=new QPushButton(tr(""));
button->setFixedSize(10,10);
connect(button,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(addW()));
layout->addWidget(button,0,0);
setLayout(layout);
}void MainW::addW()
{
layout->addWidget(new QLabel(tr("%1").arg(++noi)),row,col-1);
if(col==5)
{
row++;
col=1;
}
else
col++;
}
@try this...
EDIT-ok i don't know how to make this look better...all the indentation was eaten(tell me if you know how to add code)
noi(int), row(int), col(int), layout(QGridLayout) are private members...addW() private slot....SIGNAL->clicked()...SLOT->addW()...sorry for the mess[EDIT: code formatting added. Wrap in @-tags or use the button in the editor, Volker]

ty Volker sir... i was actually using my browser with images off(for faster loading...my isp is really bad... cuts the speed to 156 kbps after 5gb every month) so didn't see the buttons...
Developer... c'mon man...its not that bad, i think...a little time spent on tweaking it will let you achieve what you want... but then its your choice... that's all i can think of for what you are asking...
