how to create nested QGroupBox with recursion ?

[Ahti]

Here is my code so far :

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    QFrame *test = new QFrame(this);
    layout = new QGridLayout;
    test->setGeometry(10,10,150,300);
    layout->addWidget(createBrightnessSettings(tr("Brightness Settings"),5,30,300,275),0,0,3,3,Qt::AlignLeft);
    test->setLayout(layout);
}

QGroupBox *MainWindow::createBrightnessSettings(const QString& name,int x,int y,int w,
                                             int h){

    QGroupBox *brightnessSettings = new QGroupBox(name);

    if (name == "Brightness Settings"){
        brightnessSettings->setFlat(true);
        layout->addWidget(createBrightnessSettings(tr("Day Mode"),30,55,250,95),0,1,0,3,Qt::AlignLeft);
    }
    //createBrightnessSettings("Night Mode",30,170,250,95);

    if (name != "Brightness Settings"){

        //startfrom = constructLabel(settingsBackground,startfrom,"color:rgb(200,200,200);font:9pt bold Arial;",
          //                     50,68,90,25,"Start From");
    }
    brightnessSettings->setGeometry(x,y,w,h);
    return brightnessSettings;
}

This is what i want :

Hi,

Set a QVBoxLayout in your main QGroupBox and then add the other two to that layout.
