How to move a QPushButton inside gridLayout?

Question

I have just tried a simple thing, in designer I created one push button, inside grid layout. The problem is geometry option got disabled in Property box, and I am not able to change the cordinates. In this situation how should I move the push button from its original place if required?

Can somebody help me to achieve this??

ui->m_pushButton->setGeometry(466, 188, 28, 24); this push button is inside gril layout — Nikhil Singh, Jun 24 '16 at 06:08
Where do you want to move it? You can remove it from the layout and re-add it into the layout(or another layout) somewhere else — Frank Osterfeld, Jun 24 '16 at 06:14
This question lacks the necessary detail. What do you mean by "moving" the widget? Do you want to manage its geometry manually, or do you want to change its row/column? — Kuba hasn't forgotten Monica, Jun 24 '16 at 15:11

You can't move or resize a widget inside a layout because its position and its size are managed by the layout. If you want to manage its geometry yourself, do not use a layout.

Qt layouts are designed to help you make scalable user interfaces. For this, moving or resizing the button is usually done by the layout using sizeHint() and sizePolicy().

I would suggest reading up on how to use layouts and the use of spacers, as this will impact the location and size of your button.

Well I found a solution to that Break the Layout, arrange the widgets and then set the layout
