    Default What to use QSpacerItem or layout's margin and spacing?

    Hi,

    I am in a dilemma on what to use to add space between widgets in the layout. I am using QVBoxLayout and QHBoxLayout.
    One option is to use QSpacerItem and call layout->addSpacerItem() and other option is to set the margins and spacing in layout. I can achieve my desired result by using both approaches.

    Does Qt recommend to prefer one before another?

    Thanks

    Hey,

    addSpacerItem() insert a space between two objects. spacing and margin add a space around all objects. have a look at this picture i uploaded for you:

    Stelios: What?
    Astinos: "Fight in the shade"!
