QT column occupied issue with add widgets

Hi I have a QGridLayout of rowspan 1 and columnspan 8. I have 5 widgets to be placed in a raw and hence rowspan is 1 , but kept columnspan as 8 as I need three column space left in after third widgets . Something like below: column 1 : label column 2 : checkbox column 3 : combo box column 4 : EMPTY column 5 : EMPTY column 6 : EMPTY column 7 : line edit column 8 : push button I am doing AddWidget (widget,startrow,startcol,rowspan,colspan) as below: AddWidget(widget,0,0,1,1); AddWidget(widget,0,1,1,1); AddWidget(widget,0,2,1,1); AddWidget(widget,0,6,1,1); AddWidget(widget,0,7,1,1); Why all widgets are adjacent to each other and there is no space left? Am I missing anything?

I got rid off the grid layout and returned back to hboxlayout. Added spacer in between to have the space in between widget.

Thanks but is it necessary to use the extra widget spacer? If it is needed, why do we have start column if it does not have any sense?

or perhaps you should assign a value for setColumnMinimumWidth for columns 4,5 and 6? Perhaps they're defaulted to 0 width.

Unfortunately , setColumnMinimumWidth also did not help

is the gridlayout nested inside another container? Perhaps that is forcing the compression by constraining the expansion space? how about enabling expansion by adding a QScrollArea? https://forum.qt.io/topic/102622/add-space-to-qtgridlayout
