Description</h2> <p> The QBoxLayout class lines up child widgets horizontally or vertically. <p> <p> QBoxLayout takes the space it gets (from its parent layout or from the <a href="qlayout.html#mainWidget">mainWidget</a>()), divides it up into a row of boxes, and makes each managed widget fill one box. <p> <center><img src="qhbox-m.png" alt="Horizontal box with five child widgets"></center> <p> If the QBoxLayout's orientation is <a href="qt.html#Orientation-enum">Horizontal</a> the boxes are placed in a row, with suitable sizes. Each widget (or other box) will get at least its minimum size and at most its maximum size. Any excess space is shared according to the stretch factors (more about that below). <p> <center><img src="qvbox-m.png" alt="Vertical box with five child widgets"></center> <p> If the QBoxLayout's orientation is <a href="qt.html#Orientation-enum">Vertical</a>, the boxes are placed in a column, again with suitable sizes. <p> The easiest way to create a QBoxLayout is to use one of the convenience classes, e.g. <a href="qhboxlayout.html">QHBoxLayout</a> (for <a href="qt.html#Orientation-enum">Horizontal</a> boxes) or <a href="qvboxlayout.html">QVBoxLayout</a> (for <a href="qt.html#Orientation-enum">Vertical</a> boxes). You can also use the QBoxLayout constructor directly, specifying its direction as <a href="#Direction-enum">LeftToRight</a>, <a href="#Direction-enum">Down</a>, <a href="#Direction-enum">RightToLeft</a> or <a href="#Direction-enum">Up</a>. <p> If the QBoxLayout is not the top-level layout (i.e. it is not managing all of the widget's area and children), you must add it to its parent layout before you can do anything with it. The normal way to add a layout is by calling parentLayout->addLayout(). <p> Once you have done this, you can add boxes to the QBoxLayout using one of four functions: <p> <ul> <li> <a href="#addWidget">addWidget</a>() to add a widget to the QBoxLayout and set the widget's <a href="layout.html#stretch-factor">stretch factor</a>. (The stretch factor is along the row of boxes.) <p> <li> <a href="#addSpacing">addSpacing</a>() to create an empty box; this is one of the functions you use to create nice and spacious dialogs. See below for ways to set margins. <p> <li> <a href="#addStretch">addStretch</a>() to create an empty, stretchable box. <p> <li> <a href="#addLayout">addLayout</a>() to add a box containing another <a href="qlayout.html">QLayout</a> to the row and set that layout's stretch factor. </ul> <p> Use <a href="#insertWidget">insertWidget</a>(), <a href="#insertSpacing">insertSpacing</a>(), <a href="#insertStretch">insertStretch</a>() or <a href="#insertLayout">insertLayout</a>() to insert a box at a specified position in the layout. <p> QBoxLayout also includes two margin widths: <p> <ul> <li> <a href="qlayout.html#setMargin">setMargin</a>() sets the width of the outer border. This is the width of the reserved space along each of the QBoxLayout's four sides. <li> <a href="qlayout.html#setSpacing">setSpacing</a>() sets the width between neighboring boxes. (You can use <a href="#addSpacing">addSpacing</a>() to get more space at a particular spot.) </ul> <p> The margin defaults to 0. The spacing defaults to the same as the margin width for a top-level layout, or to the same as the parent layout. Both are parameters to the constructor. <p> To remove a widget from a layout, call removeWidget(). Calling <a href="qwidget.html#hide">QWidget::hide</a>() on a widget also effectively removes the widget from the layout until <a href="qwidget.html#show">QWidget::show</a>() is called. <p> You will almost always want to use <a href="qvboxlayout.html">QVBoxLayout</a> and <a href="qhboxlayout.html">QHBoxLayout</a> rather than QBoxLayout because of their convenient constructors. <p> <p>See also <a href="qgrid.html">QGrid</a>, <a href="layout.html">Layout Overview</a>, <a href="appearance.html">Widget Appearance and Style</a>, and <a href="geomanagement.html">Layout Management</a>. <hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="Direction-enum"></a>QBoxLayout::Direction</h3> <p> This type is used to determine the direction of a box layout. <ul> <li><tt>QBoxLayout::LeftToRight</tt> - Horizontal, from left to right <li><tt>QBoxLayout::RightToLeft</tt> - Horizontal, from right to left <li><tt>QBoxLayout::TopToBottom</tt> - Vertical, from top to bottom <li><tt>QBoxLayout::Down</tt> - The same as <a href="#Direction-enum">TopToBottom</a> <li><tt>QBoxLayout::BottomToTop</tt> - Vertical, from bottom to top <li><tt>QBoxLayout::Up</tt> - The same as <a href="#Direction-enum">BottomToTop</a> </ul> <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="QBoxLayout"></a>QBoxLayout::QBoxLayout ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * parent, <a href="qboxlayout.html#Direction-enum">Direction</a> d, int margin = 0, int spacing = -1, const char * name = 0 ) </h3> Constructs a new QBoxLayout with direction <em>d</em> and main widget <em>parent</em>. <em>parent</em> may not be 0. <p> The <em>margin</em> is the number of pixels between the edge of the widget and its managed children.
