Detailed Description

\inheritsItem \inqmlmodule QtQuick.Layouts \ingroup layouts

To be able to use this type more efficiently, it is recommended that you understand the general mechanism of the Qt Quick Layouts module. Refer to Qt Quick Layouts Overview for more information.

It is available as a convenience for developers, as it offers a cleaner API.

Items in a ColumnLayout support these attached properties:

 ColumnLayout{
     spacing: 2

     Rectangle {
         Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignCenter
         color: "red"
         Layout.preferredWidth: 40
         Layout.preferredHeight: 40
     }

     Rectangle {
         Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignRight
         color: "green"
         Layout.preferredWidth: 40
         Layout.preferredHeight: 70
     }

     Rectangle {
         Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignBottom
         Layout.fillHeight: true
         color: "blue"
         Layout.preferredWidth: 70
         Layout.preferredHeight: 40
     }
 }

Property Documentation

layoutDirection : enumeration

\sinceQtQuick.Layouts 1.1

This property holds the layout direction of the column layout - it controls whether items are laid out from left to right or right to left. If Qt.RightToLeft is specified, left-aligned items will be right-aligned and right-aligned items will be left-aligned.

Possible values:

ConstantDescription
Qt.LeftToRight(default) Items are laid out from left to right.
Qt.RightToLeftItems are laid out from right to left

See also GridLayout::layoutDirection and RowLayout::layoutDirection.


spacing : real

This property holds the spacing between each cell. The default value is 5.


uniformCellSizes : bool

\sinceQtQuick.Layouts 6.6

If this property is set to true, the layout will force all cells to have a uniform size.

Note: This API is considered tech preview and may change or be removed in future versions of Qt.
