Disabled splitter in qt designer

Question

I'm using qt 4.8.0 on windows 7. When I open qt designer and create widget in it, I cannot set 'Lay Out in a vertical/horizontal in Splitter'. Also there is no Splitter in a Layouts widget box. All other layouts are working well. Have anyone run into same or similar problem?

Accepted Answer

You need to select two or more widgets and then use the layout -> vertical/horizontal splitter option. This will give designer enough context to be able to perform the operation.

Also note that the selected widgets cannot be part of a layout already. If they are, you need to break the layout first (`layout->Break Layout` in context menu).
