I have a problem with the mainLayout. I have this:

1.  optionsGroupBox = new QGroupBox();
2.     optionsGroupBoxLayout = new QGridLayout;
3.     optionsGroupBoxLayout->addWidget(ui->label, 0,0);
4.     optionsGroupBoxLayout->addWidget(ui->comboBox, 0,1);
5.     optionsGroupBoxLayout->addWidget(ui->label_2, 1,0);
6.     optionsGroupBoxLayout->addWidget(ui->lineEdit, 1,1);
7.     optionsGroupBoxLayout->addWidget(ui->label_3, 2,0);
8.  
9.     //add an additional layout for the Browse button and second line edit
10.     QVBoxLayout lineAndBrowseLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
11.     lineAndBrowseLayout->addWidget(ui->lineEdit_2);
12.     lineAndBrowseLayout->addWidget(ui->pushButton_3);
13.     optionsGroupBoxLayout->addLayout(lineAndBrowseLayout, 2,1);*
14.  
15.     optionsGroupBox->setLayout(optionsGroupBoxLayout);
16.  
17.     buttonsLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
18.     buttonsLayout->addStretch();
19.     buttonsLayout->addWidget(ui->pushButton_2);
20.     buttonsLayout->addWidget(ui->pushButton);
21.  
22.     mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
23.     mainLayout->addWidget(optionsGroupBox);
24.     mainLayout->addLayout(buttonsLayout);
25.     setLayout(mainLayout);

The bit I added above should do the trick. Note, however, that the space available to position (2,1) in the grid (where we’re adding the new layout) will be divided equally between the line edit and the Browse button, i.e. they’ll be the same size. You may have to play around with constraints a bit to get your ratio of QLineEdit::QPushButton space usage just right.

There is a QGridLayout::addWidget() overload which takes a rowSpan and a columnSpan too.

Will do the trick.

k the first answer is ok! :D
Just not QVBoxLayout lineAndBrowseLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
but lineAndBrowseLayout = new QHBoxLayout
will do what i want.. thanks ;)

I don’t know why, but I always do that! It’s like a mini brain rebellion over which I have no control :D

On a side-note. The word is “Browse”, not “Browze”. You also might want to check if you really want to say “Nami”.
