You can use "move":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qwidget.html#pos-prop function for your QWidget.

eg

@ui->yourWidget->move(50,50);@

C++ does not have the concept of Properties - you need to use a setter (set*()) to change values, and getter to read them.

Qt adds Properties, but modifying them is a bit more tedious than in C# due to language constrains.

Can you gice me a ex. how to do it I am a kinda of a noob to qt and c++.

[sierdzio]

Convention in Qt is: setter beginns with "set", and getter is just the property name.

So:
@
QString currentText = lineEdit->text();
lineEdit->setText(currentString + "some changes");
@

Qt Properties are part of Qt Meta Object system (docs are very good, feel free to consult them):
@
QString currentText = lineEdit->property("text").toString();
lineEdit->setProperty("text", currentString + "some changes");
@

Hope this clears things up a bit. Don't worry, you'll get it this time. I imagine transferring from C# can be a bit challenging, C++ is different even if it sometimes looks similar.

You can use Move function of your widget with two parameters i.e. x and y coordinates. You can also use setGeometry function of your widget with four parameters. In setGeometry function, 1st and 2nd parameters are x and y coordinates respectively and 3rd and 4th parameters are width and height of your widget.

For example:

ui->yourWidgetName->move(100,200);

ui->yourWidgetName->setGeometry(100,200,400,500);

Usually you want to use layouts. Hardcoding positions of widgets is in 99.9% of the use-cases the wrong thing to do.
