Name

qhboxlayout — layout manager that arranges widgets horizontally

Syntax

Panel
bgColor#FFFFAA
borderWidth1
borderStylesolid

qhboxlayout cmds ...

Description

The qhboxlayout command creates a QHBoxLayout object, making it the active layout manager. This layout manager will automatically arrange widgets horizontally (just call qhboxlayout followed by the creation of the widgets).

Call qsetmargin to adjust the margin between the stacked widgets and the widget containing them, or use qsetspacing to adjust spacing between the stacked widgets.

For non-trivial layouts consider nesting widgets inside QWidgets that contain their own layout. This way you can simulate having one layout manager inside another allowing for mixed vertical and horizontal layouts. This technique is shown in Nested Layout.

See also qvboxlayout and qgridlayout.
