QLabel - setAlignment not working on image

maximus

Hi,

I'm trying to achieve a simple layout
[QLabel1 (image)] [QLabel2]
[Widget here -------------- ]

The layout works when QLabel1 is displaying some text, but when I show an image in the QLabel using stylesheet, the alignement is all over the place, see screenshot below

-"AlignLeft example":https://www.dropbox.com/s/i81sg8p8m1v4a47/alignLeftQLabel.png
-"AlignRight example":https://www.dropbox.com/s/26r7g04po4ip11m/aligntRightQLabel.png

Code for building the layout :
@ QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout( this );
QHBoxLayout *hlayout = new QHBoxLayout();

hlayout->setSpacing( 5 );
hlayout->addWidget( d_label_icon );
hlayout->addWidget( d_label_current_value );

d_label_icon->setText("d");
d_label_icon->setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);  // only the text moves right!
d_label_current_value->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft);

layout->setSpacing( 5 );
layout->addLayout(hlayout);
layout->addWidget( d_dial );@

If someone know a workaround, i'm stuck with this since a long time, maybe using something else that a QLabel to show the image? I tried multiple layout, grid, etc. all ignores the alignment of the image.
Image is set with style sheet (d_label_icon->setStyleSheet("image: url(:/image/icon/heart2)");)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Maximus

for your example I would use QGridLayout.
Try to lay a grid over your label arrangement.
E.g. use 5 columns and 3 rows.
@
QGridLayout* layout = new QGridLayout;

layout->addWidget(d_label_icon, 0, 0, 1, 1);
layout->addWidget(d_label_current_value, 0, 1, 1, 1 );
layout->addWidget(d_label_icon2, 0, 3, 1, 1);
layout->addWidget(d_dial, 1, 2, 2, 3);
@

With the following function you fix your gridlayout:

setColumnStrech
setColumnMinimumWidth

With the class QSpacerItem you can keep the labels in the layout in position

With that info you should solve your problem

Thanks, I learned to use a gridLayout and it's working perfectly!

@ gridLayout->setSpacing( 5 );

gridLayout->setColumnMinimumWidth(0, 100);
gridLayout->setColumnMinimumWidth(3, 100);
gridLayout->addWidget(d_label_icon, 0, 1, 1, 1, Qt::AlignRight);
gridLayout->addWidget(d_label_current_value, 0, 2, 1, 1, Qt::AlignLeft);
gridLayout->addWidget(d_dial, 1, 0, 1, 4, Qt::AlignHCenter);@
