[Qt-interest] how do I Remove the Stretch item in a QVBoxLayout?

[Alessandro Portale]

If you instead of using QBoxLayout::addStretch(), use 
QBoxLayout::addSpacerItem() in order to add a QSpacerItem, you can 
remove that QSpacerItem afterwards with QBoxLayout::removeItem().

<code>
#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     QApplication a(argc, argv);

     QWidget outerWidget;
     QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
     outerWidget.setLayout(layout);
     layout->addWidget(new QGroupBox("One"));
     QSpacerItem *spacer = new QSpacerItem(0, 20,
         QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding);
     layout->addSpacerItem(spacer);
     layout->addWidget(new QGroupBox("Two"));

     // this removes the spacer
     layout->removeItem(spacer);

     outerWidget.show();
     return a.exec();
}
</code>

I hope that helps :)
