Centering text within a groupbox
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I tried this query on the PyQt mailing list and got no responses. I'm
resending it here, as I don't believe the problem is caused by the
binding, but rather by my misunderstanding of Qt...
I'm new to PyQt and Qt in general.
I want to make a QGroupBox containing a centered QLabel. The QLabel
needs to remain centered as the groupbox is resized.
It is easy to make a QLabel that stays centered:
#!/usr/bin/python2.4
import sys
import qt
a = qt.QApplication(sys.argv)
textlabel=qt.QLabel("textlabel",None)
textlabel.setAlignment(qt.QLabel.AlignCenter)
a.setMainWidget(textlabel)
textlabel.show()
a.exec_loop()
# end program
But I can't seem to get the same behavior inside the groupbox:
#!/usr/bin/python2.4
import sys
import qt
a = qt.QApplication(sys.argv)
gb = qt.QHGroupBox("gblabel",None)
textlabel=qt.QLabel("textlabel",gb)
textlabel.setAlignment(qt.QLabel.AlignCenter)
a.setMainWidget(gb)
gb.show()
a.exec_loop()
#end program
The label stays contered horizontally, but hugs the top of the groupbox.
What am I missing?
Regards,
Mark

Looks like you need a layout inside the groupbox. A QVBoxLayout or a
QHBoxLayout will both do.
