[Qt-interest] A (newbie?) question using QGraphicsLinearLayout

[Mihail Naydenov]

Hi, 

I have 3 items (|_|), all with non expanding sizes. I want to arrange them like this:

|_|------------|_|------------|_|

I tried QGraphicsLinearLayout :

  QGraphicsLinearLayout *l = new QGraphicsLinearLayout();

  Item* itm = new Item();
  l->insertItem(0,itm);
  l->setAlignment(itm, Qt::AlignLeft);

  itm = new Item();

  l->insertItem(1, itm);
  l->setAlignment(itm, Qt::AlignCenter);

  itm = new Item();
  l->insertItem(2,itm);
  l->setAlignment(itm, Qt::AlignRight);

But all items are aways stuck to the right :(
|_||_||_|-----------------------

The closest thing I can get is if I set the second item to QSizePolicy::Preferred size
...
  itm = new Item(); 
  itm->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, sizePolicy().verticalPolicy());
  l->insertItem(1, itm);
...

This, however is not what I want.

The docs say that if an item cannot fill the space given (not expanding) it will be aligned based on alignments flags.
But I fail to make it work.
Even with one item I expect it to stay in the center of the parent widget, as the docs say is default, but this also is not happening.
Obviously Im missing something basic.

Thank You
