💖 QVBoxLayout(3qt) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the man page for QVBoxLayout from the 3qt manual — the Qt 3 one, yes, we're being vintage, it's giving archival glam. She stacks your widgets top to bottom. Vertically. Periodt.

🌸 NAME 🌸

QVBoxLayout — lines up widgets vertically. That's it. That's the whole job. And she does it flawlessly.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <qlayout.h>

Inherits QBoxLayout. Yes she's a nepo baby, she's a QBoxLayout with one specific opinion, and honestly? We respect it.

🫶 Public Members 🫶

QVBoxLayout ( QWidget * parent, int margin = 0, int spacing = -1, const
    char * name = 0 )
QVBoxLayout ( QLayout * parentLayout, int spacing = -1, const char *
    name = 0 )
QVBoxLayout ( int spacing = -1, const char * name = 0 )
~QVBoxLayout ()

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The QVBoxLayout class lines up widgets vertically. That's the vibe. One on top of the other, no notes.

You use this class to construct vertical box layout objects. For the full lore, go read QBoxLayout — she has more details.

The simplest use of the class is literally this:

QBoxLayout * l = new QVBoxLayout( widget );
l->addWidget( aWidget );
l->addWidget( anotherWidget );

ngl the image got omitted from the man page, so just picture two widgets chilling stacked like a lil sandwich. 🥪

👑 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 👑

QVBoxLayout::QVBoxLayout ( QWidget * parent, int margin = 0, int spacing = -1, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a new top-level vertical box called name, with parent parent.

The margin is the number of pixels between the edge of the widget and its managed children. The spacing is the default number of pixels between neighboring children. If spacing is -1, the value of margin is used for spacing. Sneaky? No. Intentional? Yes. Slay.

QVBoxLayout::QVBoxLayout ( QLayout * parentLayout, int spacing = -1, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a new vertical box called name name and adds it to parentLayout. (The man page says name twice, and honestly? she's just that important. 💅 We're keeping it exactly as written.)

The spacing is the default number of pixels between neighboring children. If spacing is -1, this QVBoxLayout will inherit its parent's spacing(). Family business. She learned it from her mom.

QVBoxLayout::QVBoxLayout ( int spacing = -1, const char * name = 0 )

Constructs a new vertical box called name name. You must add it to another layout. She cannot stand alone, she needs a support system, and that's valid. 🫶

The spacing is the default number of pixels between neighboring children. If spacing is -1, this QVBoxLayout will inherit its parent's spacing().

QVBoxLayout::~QVBoxLayout ()

Destroys this box layout.

⚠️ bestie listen: The layout's widgets aren't destroyed. She's letting go of the layout, not the widgets. The widgets live on. Do NOT assume otherwise, this is a real gotcha and I'm not playing. 💀
