[Qt-interest] How to make a dialogue box with scroll bars?

[Robert Wood]

Ahhh, got it! Was looking in the wrong place for set vertical. Been a 
year or so since I used Designer and had forgotten about that way of 
setting up widgets. .

Many thanks again. :~) Designer is actually pretty complex in its own 
right, I find a lot of the layout stuff really hard to get right.
