    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.

    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.
