Grid layout

So you have a widget which contains icons, which are also widgets right? Sure you can move the icon widgets to a fixed position if you want to.
You will have to calculate the corner/edge positions yourself, though. At least QRect contains several handy methods that.

Do i absolutely need to use QRect for this? How could I do it using Qrect...could you give me an example?

Thanks

Heh, you absolutely don't have to use, I only mentioned I find QRect handy for this kind of calculations..

How could I do it using Qrect...could you give me an example?

// geometries
QRect areaRect = areaWidget->geometry(); // the whole "area"
QRect topRightRect = topRightWidget->geometry(); // the "icon" in the top right corner
QRect middleLeftRect = middleLeftWidget->geometry(); // the "icon" in the middle left edge
 
// top right corner
topRightRect.moveTopRight(areaRect.topRight()); // align to top right corner
topRightWidget->setGeometry(topRightRect); // move the icon widget
 
// middle left edge
middleLeftRect.moveCenter(areaRect.center()); // centralize
middleLeftRect.moveLeft(areaRect.left()); // align to left edge
middleLeftWidget->setGeometry(middleLeftRect); // move the icon widget

// geometries
QRect areaRect = areaWidget->geometry(); // the whole "area"
QRect topRightRect = topRightWidget->geometry(); // the "icon" in the top right corner
QRect middleLeftRect = middleLeftWidget->geometry(); // the "icon" in the middle left edge
 
// top right corner
topRightRect.moveTopRight(areaRect.topRight()); // align to top right corner
topRightWidget->setGeometry(topRightRect); // move the icon widget

// middle left edge
middleLeftRect.moveCenter(areaRect.center()); // centralize
middleLeftRect.moveLeft(areaRect.left()); // align to left edge
middleLeftWidget->setGeometry(middleLeftRect); // move the icon widget

As you can see, with QRect it's simple to align items to corners/edges.
