I have rechecked it .
The line causing problem is

@
btnLayout->addWidget(minMaxBtn,Qt::AlignLeft);
@

why setting alignment(right/left) on the widget causing other widgets to hide.
if i don't do alignment , all my buttons are coming left aligned which i don't want.

please help...

Hi,

have you seen that the addWidget's param list is:

bq. void QBoxLayout::addWidget ( QWidget * widget, int stretch = 0, Qt::Alignment alignment = 0 )

and you put an Qt::AlignLeft in the stretch factor's place?

correct is:

@btnLayout->addWidget(minMaxBtn,0,Qt::AlignLeft);@

or so :)

Cheers!
