    Hi,
    Unfortunately```
    grid->addWidget (Title,0,0,1,4);

    still puts the title in the middle.

      Hi,
      The following code puts the Title label in the middle of the age:

          QLabel  *Title	= new QLabel;
          QFont f("Arial", 18, QFont::Bold);
          Title->setFont (f);
          Title->setAlignment (Qt::AlignCenter);
          Title->setText ("ADDING A FRIEND TO THE DATABASE");
          //Title->setFixedWidth (800);
      
      	// Creating the scroll area
      
          QScrollArea *scroll = new QScrollArea(this);
          scroll->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy (Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
          scroll->setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
      
          QWidget *viewport  = new QWidget(this);
          scroll->setWidget (viewport);
          scroll->setWidgetResizable (true);
      
          // Adding layout
      
          QGridLayout *grid = new QGridLayout;
          grid->addWidget (scroll);
          Additem::setLayout (grid);
      
      	grid->addWidget (Title,0,0,0,4);
      

      How can I move it to the top of the page (or to the top left corner)?
      Thank you.

      @gabor53
      What is age and why are you doing this:

      Additem::setLayout (grid);
      

      that way?

      If I'm understanding you correctly you either want to have a QVBoxLayout and use it like this:

      QVBoxLayout * layout = new QVBoxLayout(widgetHavingTheLayout);
      layout->addWidget(Title);
      layout->addWidget(scroll);
      

      Or maybe something like this with a grid layout:

      QGridLayout * grid = new QGridLayout(widgetHavingTheLayout);
      grid->addWidget(Title, 0, 0);
      grid->addWidget(scroll, 1, 0);
      grid->addItem(new QSpacerItem(1, 1), 2, 1);
      

      Kind regards.

        The code gave me the following layout:

        	grid->addWidget (Title,0,0);
            grid->addWidget (scroll,1,0);
            grid->addWidget (test,2,0);
        
        

        Image of layout
        How can I place the "test" text into to scroll area, 0,0 position?
        Thank you.

          Honestly I don't understand what exactly you're trying to achieve, but to put "test" into the scroll area you add it to its widget, not next to the scroll area. Something like this:

          QVBoxLayout * scrollLayout = new QVBoxLayout(viewport);
          scrollLayout->addWidget(test);
          

          Kind regards.

            Hi,
            The problem is, that the original code

                QScrollArea *scroll = new QScrollArea(this);
                scroll->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy (Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
                scroll->setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
            
                QWidget *viewport  = new QWidget(this);
                scroll->setWidget (viewport);
                scroll->setWidgetResizable (true);
            
                // Adding layout
            
                QLabel *test = new QLabel;
                test->setText ("test");
            
                QGridLayout *grid = new QGridLayout;
                grid->addWidget (scroll);
                Additem::setLayout (grid);
            
            	grid->addWidget (test);
            

            places the test label to the bottom of the Dialog while the scroll area is right above it. I would like to place the test label to the top left corner of the scroll area. I appreciate any ideas.
            Thank you.

              Right, and I count three posts proposing possible solutions. Have you checked them out?

                Yes. I checked them and none of them does what I need. The last one crashed Qt.

                  Hi @gabor53 ,

                  I made solution for you. Download this and try this code. Dropboxhere
                  @kshegunov has already given you the solution.

                  Result image . You want "Test " inside the topleft corner of "Scroll" area. But you have coded it in different way. you have made Gridlayout and added "scroll & test" to it. Then how can you get "Test" inside the "scroll" area. Make gridlayoout inside the Scrollarea and add widgets.

                    Well, I'm sorry that none of them worked for you. I currently have no more ideas, maybe try what @Ni-Sumi is suggesting?

                    Kind regards.

                      @kshegunov , You have given the 100% correct solution.

                      @gabor53 seems missed layout inside the Scrollarea. Instead of making layout inside the Scrollarea, @gabor53 has made layout outside the scrollarea and expecting that layout to be inside.

                      Caution: My point will valid only If gabor53 wants "Test " label inside the scroll area.
