Detailed Description

The QLayout class is the base class of geometry managers.

\inmodule QtWidgets

This is an abstract base class inherited by the concrete classes QBoxLayout, QGridLayout, QFormLayout, and QStackedLayout.

For users of QLayout subclasses or of QMainWindow there is seldom any need to use the basic functions provided by QLayout, such as setSizeConstraint() or setMenuBar(). See \l{Layout Management} for more information.

To make your own layout manager, implement the functions addItem(), sizeHint(), setGeometry(), itemAt() and takeAt(). You should also implement minimumSize() to ensure your layout isn't resized to zero size if there is too little space. To support children whose heights depend on their widths, implement hasHeightForWidth() and heightForWidth(). See the \l{layouts/flowlayout}{Flow Layout} example for more information about implementing custom layout managers.

Geometry management stops when the layout manager is deleted.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ SizeConstraint

enum QLayout::SizeConstraint

The possible values are:

\value SetDefaultConstraint The main widget's minimum size is set to minimumSize(), unless the widget already has a minimum size.

\value SetFixedSize The main widget's size is set to sizeHint(); it cannot be resized at all. \value SetMinimumSize The main widget's minimum size is set to minimumSize(); it cannot be smaller.

\value SetMaximumSize The main widget's maximum size is set to maximumSize(); it cannot be larger.

\value SetMinAndMaxSize The main widget's minimum size is set to minimumSize() and its maximum size is set to maximumSize().

\value SetNoConstraint The widget is not constrained.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ QLayout() [1/2]

QLayout::QLayout ( QWidget * parent = nullptr )

explicit

Constructs a new top-level QLayout, with parent parent.

The layout is set directly as the top-level layout for parent. There can be only one top-level layout for a widget. It is returned by QWidget::layout().

If parent is \nullptr, then you must insert this layout into another layout, or set it as a widget's layout using QWidget::setLayout().

See also: QWidget::setLayout()

Definition at line 83 of file qlayout.cpp.

◆ ~QLayout()

QLayout::~QLayout ( )

Destroys the layout, deleting all child layouts. Geometry management stops when a top-level layout is deleted.

The layout classes will probably be fatally confused if you delete a sublayout.

This function is called from addWidget() functions in subclasses to add w as a managed widget of a layout.

If w is already managed by a layout, this function will produce a warning, and remove w from that layout. This function must therefore be called before adding w to the layout's data structure.

◆ addItem()

void QLayout::addItem ( QLayoutItem * item )

pure virtual

Implemented in subclasses to add an item.

How it is added is specific to each subclass.

This function is not usually called in application code. To add a widget to a layout, use the addWidget() function; to add a child layout, use the addLayout() function provided by the relevant QLayout subclass.

{Note:} The ownership of item is transferred to the layout, and it's the layout's responsibility to delete it.

◆ itemAt()

QLayoutItem * QLayout::itemAt ( int index ) const

pure virtual

Must be implemented in subclasses to return the layout item at index.

If there is no such item, the function must return \nullptr. Items are numbered consecutively from 0. If an item is deleted, other items will be renumbered.

This function can be used to iterate over a layout. The following code will draw a rectangle for each layout item in the layout structure of the widget.

static void paintLayout(QPainter *painter, QLayoutItem *item)
{
    QLayout *layout = item->layout();
    if (layout) {
        for (int i = 0; i < layout->count(); ++i)
            paintLayout(painter, layout->itemAt(i));
    }
    painter->drawRect(item->geometry());
}

{
    QPainter painter(this);
    if (layout())
        paintLayout(&painter, layout());

QLayoutItem * QLayout::replaceWidget	(	QWidget *	from,

virtual

Since: 5.2

Searches for widget from and replaces it with widget to if found. Returns the layout item that contains the widget from on success. Otherwise \nullptr is returned. If options contains Qt::FindChildrenRecursively (the default), sub-layouts are searched for doing the replacement. Any other flag in options is ignored.

Notice that the returned item therefore might not belong to this layout, but to a sub-layout.

The returned layout item is no longer owned by the layout and should be either deleted or inserted to another layout. The widget from is no longer managed by the layout and may need to be deleted or hidden. The parent of widget from is left unchanged.

This function works for the built-in Qt layouts, but might not work for custom layouts.

    delete child->widget(); // delete the widget
    delete child;   // delete the layout item

the spacing between widgets inside the layout

If no value is explicitly set, the layout's spacing is inherited from the parent layout, or from the style settings for the parent widget.

For QGridLayout and QFormLayout, it is possible to set different horizontal and vertical spacings using \l{QGridLayout::}{setHorizontalSpacing()} and \l{QGridLayout::}{setVerticalSpacing()}. In that case, spacing() returns -1.
