In Qt Designer (at least in 4.x), the default is a fixed layout, where I have to position the widgets at precise pixel-positions and have to define the size in pixels. And I cannot remove the default fixed layout without modifying the .ui-file in a text editor! > Qt does have a > container concept - that's what a QWidget is (the base class of all > widgets). A container concept like in GTK+ is *much* more than having a base widget where all widgets are derived from, or having layout boxes. It means that most widgets are containers, like buttons, notebook labels, checkboxes, radio buttons, scrollbar-windows etc. And I haven't seen anything like this in Qt (or: in Qt Designer). regards Roland -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
