Like the form layout, this is also very easy to handle and widgets are arranged easily. You just have to arrange them like a matrix and give them a number like (0,1) or (1,1), which means the widget is displayed at row 0 and 1st column or in the 1st row and 1st column.

Preconditions

• Download and Install the Qt SDK

Various Function For QGridLayout

• To set the Vertical spacing between rows.

QGridLayout *gridLayout=new QGridLayout ();
gridLayout->setVerticalSpacing(50);

• To set vertical as well as horizontal spacing simultaneously.

gridLayout->Spacing(50);

 

• To set minimum height of row setRowMinimumHeight(int row,int height) as well as to Sets the minimum width of column setColumnMinimumWidth(int column,int width).

gridLayout->setRowMinimumHeight(1,400);
gridLayout->setColumnMinimumWidth(1,200);
