Qt has this nifty thing called layouts [LINK] which does just what you want. If the list widget is the only widget in the main window, then simply setting the main window's layout to horizontal or vertical should be enough. Here's a link to a video tutorial about layouts [this video] .

I would recommend looking at a few tutorials on youtube, which I found to be very helpful as it's amazingly straight forward when demonstrated visually. e.g. [this video]

You need to use layouts when designing your GUIs. You can look at the Layout Management [LINK] page on the Qt documentaion. Also the following video on layouts [this video] might be helpful.

I have created 2 Push-Buttons in a horizontal layout. Then I added a spacer but it's almost invisible. I also cannot change the size of this spacer. I cannot change ANY size in any layouts! I tried everything, changed the size policy etc. but nothing worked. I watched this video where this guy created two push buttons and put them together in a horizontal layout. He added a spacer, just like me, and he was able to change the size it! : Qt Layout Tutorial [this video] What am I doing wrong? I did exactly what he did but it won't work >.< So how can I change the size of the items in a layout (particularly the spacer's size)?
