[SOLVED] remove the space in between the buttons
-
in the form designer, i have a textEdit and 3 buttons with a vertical spacer beside the buttons and a layout to a grid. the space in between the buttons is about 13 pixels. how to remove the space in between the buttons. i have tried this->layout()->setSpacing(0); but that does not work.
-
try set spacing to layout which contains buttons.

[quote author="Eus" date="1314341521"]I guess maxim meant that you create new layout with your buttons inside and sort the spacing in there, not to try setting spacing on the button itself.[/quote]
Eus, i don't understand what you are saying. are you saying to set spacing in the form designer. I can't find any spacing settings in there

Lukas Geyer, no properties for setSpacing in ui->nameOfTheLayoutContainingTheButtons->setSpacing(0);. layout()->setspacing does not work.
here is my ui code

lol
try using "this":http://translate.google.com
:Dlukas gave you an example, you don't have "nameOfTheLayoutContainingTheButtons". He is just pointing out to you that you should use that method on the layout which CONTAINS YOUR BUTTONS.

none of those layouts work. i have tried them before. the problem is that the textEdit horizontal width is a lot greater in width when i try these layout. it just does not work for me.
but i solved the problem. i should have had ui->dockWidgetContents instead of ui->dockWidget. this topic is solved. thank you everyone for the quick replies.
