I'm making a custom gridPane as a form and have the alignment for the left column on the right and the alignment for the right column of the left.
The last row is always the buttons (save/cancel), but I would like the padding for those to be higher so they're more spread out.
Is it possible (probably) to set the padding/margin for the specific cell (fe the right button)?

I have a tableview cell that contains a horizontal UIStackView. Inside it is an UIImageView (on the left, 100x100 dimensions) and a vertical UIStackView (on the right) that contains 4 labels. The vertical UIStackView is constrained to the UIImageView's top and bottom anchors. But the bottom constraint is "less than or equal to".
I am setting the text property on these labels but if the text is nil I hide that label. Stack View than sets the height of that label to 0 and it doesn't appear in the Stack View. Now the idea is if some labels are hidden, the combined intrinsic content size's of the remaining labels will define the height of the vertical UIStackView and it will decrease in height based on that "less than or equal to" bottom constraint.
This doesn't work though. Take the case where the 2nd and 4th labels have been hidden. The 1st label is normal height. But the 3rd label stretches all the way down to the bottom of the UIImageView. This is in contrast to my expectation that the intrinsic content sizes of the labels would be less and the label's UIStackView would shrink.
I'm guessing there is some priorities that might need to be tuned to get this working properly. This whole view hierarchy is contained in a UITableViewCell and that has dynamic height applied which I hope doesn't cause any problems.
So if the intended behavior is that when I hide labels the vertical UIStackView shrinks, what constraints must I add/delete or which priorities must be set?
New to the auto layout world, i can't seem to right align a table relative to its parent content view in the cell. Left aligning works, but when previewing on smaller screens and when running on 6s, the label is not visible/cut off.
according to this thread, the solution was to make sure the tableview was pinned correctly to the parent view controller (0,0,0,0) - but still did not fix my label.
Any help is appreciated.
First of all, add top, left, right and bottom constraints to your tableView.
Also, your label has x position constraint, but how it should lay according to y coordinate? Add label top or bottom or centerVertically constraint.
And what about your redView? Set the needed constraint to it also.
I have a GridPane displaying descriptive Labels on the left side and content Labels on the right side. I set everything to USE_COMPUTED_SIZE in SceneBuilder and added padding to my elements so they don't stick together too closely. This works well if it wasn't for the fact, that the left-side Labels are cut off, if the content is big enough to take up the whole width of the scene:
Is there a way of making sure that my left-side labels are displayed in full, before the right side labels get their share of available width? Setting the minimum width of the first column to a concrete value works, but i would like JavaFX to determine the needed size for the first column.
Use Texts (can be found in Shapes) instead of Labels in the first column. In contrast to Labels Texts are not resizeable and GridPane cannot resize the first column to become smaller than the largest of the Text nodes in this column.
I have QGroupBox which using QVBoxLayout:
QVBoxLayout *vbLayout1 = new QVBoxLayout(groupBox1);
vbLayout1->addWidget(label1);
vbLayout1->addWidget(slider1);
groupBox1->setLayout(vbLayout1);
A height of the group box is big enough to store more than two elements so when I add to the layout only two elements as above, the first appears in the middle of the group box and the second in the bottom. I want to set an alignment where elements are placed in the group box from top to bottom with some small spacing. How to achieve such alignment ? How set spacing between elements ?
I had a layout all nicely designed in Qt, but as soon as I clicked on the parent window and set it to a grid layout, things got all wonky. I've read every tutorial I can find as well as the Qt designer manual and just cannot figure out why this is happening. I have attached a screenshot to show the problem:
As you can see, the vertical layout on the left insists on being wider than the children it contains. Both the label and the treeview are set to sizePolicy maximum, and the maximum width is set to 260px. The children themselves stay the correct size, but the vertical layout that contains them doesn't.
The vertical layout in the middle is set to expanding, and the one on the far right is setup the same as the one on the left, only that one appears to work. How do I make the first vertical layout conform to it's children's width?
Also, if I may sneak a second question in, I have a QTextEdit inside the tab widget in the lower right, but it will not fill to take up the space of the full tab view. You can't see that in the screenshot, but if I pull the tabview up, the textedit within it doesn't stretch with it. How do I make it conform to the size of the tab? It's already set to sizePolicy expanding, but that doesn't seem to help.
The problem is most likely that you need to experiment with "stretching" the layout. Stretch sets the size of layout cells in relation to each other. The default is 0, which means no stretching occurs.
In your case, I believe you want to set the stretch of the first column (column 0) to 0, and the stretch of the second and third columns to 1. This means that the first column will always be as small as possible, and the second and third columns will try to be equally wide.
You can set the stretch programmatically quite easily; for example, to set the first column to stretch 0:
layout->setColumnStretch(0, 0);
In Qt Designer you can access column and row stretches as any normal properties.
