"dynamic" layout

hi all

I am trying to produce a dynamic layout. That means i want a layout with some buttons in a row. The number of the buttons should change regarding to the number of elements in a hash. I am trying this for days, but it never looks like i want it to look. I am not able to change the number of buttons without seeing the old buttons, which should be deleted. Here is my code and some screenshots:


This is my first approach. Its only a test without real values. First I remove all buttons from the layout (if there are some). I then add 3 buttons regarding to knownClients is empty or not. It looks like in picture "before.jpg" when 3 buttons are inserted. If knownClients is empty there should be nothing, but in fact there still are some buttons displayed. Please look at "after1.jpg".

Code:

---

//.h-File:
 
     QHBoxLayout *justAlayout;
 
 
//.cpp-File:
 
ShowClientList::ShowClientList() : QWidget() {
    justAlayout = new QHBoxLayout;
    setLayout(justAlayout);
}
 
void ShowClientList::showClients() {
     QLayoutItem *child;
    if ((child = justAlayout->takeAt(1)) != 0) { delete child; }
    justAlayout->update();
 
    QPushButton *pb1 = new QPushButton ("asdf");
    QPushButton *pb2 = new QPushButton ("qwert");
    QPushButton *pb3 = new QPushButton ("dada");
 
    if (!knownClients.isEmpty()) {
        justAlayout->addWidget(pb1);
        justAlayout->addWidget(pb2);
        justAlayout->addWidget(pb3);
    }
}

---

My second approach is similar to the first one. I only added 3 lines of code to delete the layout after deleting all members of the layout. Then I assing a new layout before inserting the buttons. With 3 buttons inserted its looks the same, but after deleting them it looks like in picture "after2.jpg". The buttons are shifted down and are still clickable.

Code:

---

delete this->layout();
 
justAlayout = new QHBoxLayout;
setLayout(justAlayout);

---

Is there a possibility to manage this problem and display the right number of buttons correctly?
