Qt - Making a Splitter Horizontal and Vertical at same time - qt

Question

I have a QGridLayout with a QSplitter on it. In that QSplitter I have two elements with a splitter that lets me move the splitter from left to right. Fine, there it's fine. But then I want to add another splitter but that moves up to down. (I'll explain with an image.)
So it's mostly having 2 splitters, one that moves left-to-right and other that moves up-to-down.
I hope you understand.
QGridLayout *layout = new QGridLayout(this);
QSplitter *splitter = new QSplitter();
text1 = new QPlainTextEdit();
text2 = new QPlainTextEdit();
splitter->addWidget(text1);
splitter->addWidget(text2);
text1->resize(800, this->height());
layout->addWidget(splitter, 1, 0);
browser = new QTextBrowser();
browser->resize(1, 1);
layout->addWidget(browser, 2, 0);
setLayout(layout);
Here i add only 1 splitter, since i don't know how to do the 2nd one.

You should be able to adapt this for your needs easily. The idea is to create a container for the first two elements, then connect the container with the 3rd element all via splitters.
#include <QtGui>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QWidget wnd;
QTextEdit *editor1 = new QTextEdit;
QTextEdit *editor2 = new QTextEdit;
QTextEdit *editor3 = new QTextEdit;
QSplitter *split1 = new QSplitter;
QSplitter *split2 = new QSplitter;
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
QWidget *container = new QWidget;
QVBoxLayout *container_layout = new QVBoxLayout;
split1->addWidget(editor1);
split1->addWidget(editor2);
container_layout->addWidget(split1);
container->setLayout(container_layout);
split2->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
split2->addWidget(container);
split2->addWidget(editor3);
layout->addWidget(split2);
wnd.setLayout(layout);
wnd.show();
return app.exec();
}
