Hi,
What do you mean, disabled mode??
Are you using designer? In my (just downloaded the latest version) designer it does not support splitters.
In code it is easy:
@
QSplitter * m_MainWindowSplitter_p = new QSplitter(this->centralWidget());
m_MainWindowSplitter_p->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);

// Application Layer widgets
m_ScrollApplicationLayer_p = new QScrollArea;
m_ScrollApplicationLayer_p->setWidgetResizable(true);
m_ScrollApplicationLayer_p->setWidget(m_ApplicationLayer_wp);
m_MainWindowSplitter_p->addWidget(m_ScrollApplicationLayer_p);

Actually I just want to set it through designer. but i can't select layout in splitter since i m not able to select them . where as i am able to use any other layout like horizontal layout, vertical layout or grid layout.

Ahh, I see in the new designer they added the QSplitter in the layouts.

Ah,
First do a 'break layout" on your top level widget/layout. Then you are able to select the widgets you need and select the hor/ver splitter

This is how it is showing splitter in disable mode. and i not using any layout till now so i can't click on break layout.

qxoz: you can use Picture tag for posting images

Well, it's correct. Widget could have only one layout. Other layouts must be inside this layout.
Take a look to "Using Layouts in Qt Designer":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/designer-layouts.html

If you don't have any other layouts then to make them enabled you need to select the items that you want to split with a splitter.
