Question
Here is how to draw a button that spans 2 columns:
#include <QtGui>
int main(int argv, char **args)
{
QApplication app(argv, args);
QPushButton *foo = new QPushButton("foo");
QPushButton *bar = new QPushButton("bar");
QPushButton *baz = new QPushButton("baz");
QGridLayout *layout = new QGridLayout();
layout->addWidget(foo, 0, 0);
layout->addWidget(bar, 0, 1);
layout->addWidget(baz, 1, 0, 1, 2); // span 2 columns
QWidget window;
window.setLayout(layout);
window.setWindowTitle("test");
window.show();
return app.exec();
}
Running the code gives me:
If I change the layout in order to get a button, baz
, that spans 2 rows I fail:
layout->addWidget(foo, 0, 0);
layout->addWidget(bar, 1, 0);
layout->addWidget(baz, 0, 1, 2, 1); // (try to) span 2 rows
Here is what I get:
Solution
Your layout is fine, the baz button is spanning two rows. The problem is that it doesn't use all the available space. You have to change the vertical resize policy of your button from Fixed to MinimumExpanding.
OTHER TIPS
I added the following, after which all was well:
foo->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding,
QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
bar->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding,
QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
baz->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding,
QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
(thanks)
