Can't get my widget to auto-resize...

The last one looks good (almost no problems). You have to set layouts to your group boxes too and everything will be resizing. Also bear in mind you don't really need a grid layout for the top widget,
vertical one (with 2 items) should do just fine.Edit.
Actually I took a closer look. I'd put the two groups in a nested horizontal layout, the dropdown with buttons in a vertical one. The vertical one and the text area in a horizontal one and set the root widget's layout to vertical.You can judge if there's a layout attached to the widget by looking at the object tree - the red crossed circle means there's no layout. Otherwise the assigned layout is shown as an icon. The child objects you see in the tree will be ordered according to the set layout. In practice using a nested layout isn't very often needed, only occasionally.
@kshegunov that's good information. This is now close to what I want:
I think this is close to what you suggested.
So, the lesson learned here is, it isn't enough to simply have all the child objects in a layout -- you must have the parent widget itself in a layout. Correct?

Exactly what I had in mind. A small note here, for the SSID/PSK box you can use a form layout instead of a grid layout. Not much of a difference, just a matter of preference. You can also control how space is split between the layouts by going to the property editor (below the object tree) and setting the
stretches.So, the lesson learned here is, it isn't enough to simply have all the child objects in a layout -- you must have the parent widget itself in a layout. Correct?
Correct!
