Set a width to a layout

[durium]

Hi everybody !

I am actually trying to create a window with Qt.

My window is separated in two parts : one menu that takes approximately 20% of the window's width and another taking 80%.

Thus i basically have 3 layouts :
One QHBoxLayout that contains 2 QVBoxLayout. However i can't seem to find a method which would set the first QVBoxLayout width to 20% of the window's size (i must really be a "noob"...).

Maybe is there another way to build my window ?

Thanks !

You can't set width to layout)). It's layout. You can set Stretch.

Hi thanks for your answer i can't seem to find info on stretch (sends back to setStrech which sends back to strech...).
Can you tell me more about it ?
Thanks !

@
myHBoxLayout->setStrechFactor(myFirstVBoxLayout,1);
myHBoxLayout->setStretchFactor(mySecondVBoxLayout,4);

this will stretch them in accordance to the space occupied by the QHBoxLayout in the window, which in your case seems to be the whole window...so this should work

ok I've tested and I think I understand !
