Can you drag and drop the widgets you want into the layout? Normally, that is the way to do it.

Solution 1

In my opinion, you should follow the steps below.

1:Taken one QScrollarea widget to main window.
2:Taken one QVBoxLayout into QScrollarea.
3:Taken some buttons into QVBoxLayout.

And in your cpp file, you should add some codes in constructors:

C++

//the vertical widget that I want to add to Area,change background color.
ui->verticalLayoutWidget->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Dark);
//remove the widget in area;
ui->scrollArea->takeWidget();
//set this property
ui->scrollArea->setWidgetResizable(false);
//reset widget
ui->scrollArea->setWidget(ui->verticalLayoutWidget);

good luck.

It's name is Vertical Layout,belong to Layouts widget type. Class name of the widget is QVBoxLayout.

I have taken vertical layout on Scroll area.But I had problem that when taking any object I am unable to resize width and height.Especially when taking label it is coming with maximum width & height equal to scroll area.But my requirement is to place a label beside another label.Can you please provide me the solution.

you can use QFrame instead,it's just a widget,you can use any to instead.
