Hello guys I have created a custom button and a custom bar. Both are created in a separate class. Because I want to extend it and use it like a construction plan by putting all the parts together. There is only one problem. This is also represented in the following image. The custom widgets should be lined up without a gap. How can I make it so that there is no space between the widgets?
Here the code:
python
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, QtCore, QtGui, Qt
def clear(layout):
if layout is not None:
while layout.count():
child = layout.takeAt(0)
print(child)
if child.widget() is not None:
child.widget().setParent(None)
# child.widget().deleteLater() ##also deletes the content of the file
if child.layout() is not None:
# child.layout().setParent(None)
clear(child.layout())

back = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
new = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
clicked = QtCore.pyqtSignal(str)

Hey @Pier-Justin_Mora welcome to the forum!
To change how the resizing of the widgets works you need to use size policies -- they tell Qt how the widget should scale to fill space around it (it at all) in layouts.

Developers in [[ country ]] get [[ discount.discount_pc ]]% OFF on all books & courses with code [[ discount.coupon_code ]]What you're asking for on the layout is for it to expand horizontally, while remaining the same height vertically. That can be achieved with.
python
self.setSizePolicy(Qt.QSizePolicy.Expanding, Qt.QSizePolicy.Fixed)
In contrast the button needs to retain a fixed position at all times. You can do this with
python
self.setSizePolicy(Qt.QSizePolicy.Fixed, Qt.QSizePolicy.Fixed)
In both cases, you need to specify a base size for the widget for these instructions to make any sense. To do this you can implement a sizeHint method on your classes, which returns the base size for the widgets, e.g.
python
def sizeHint(self):
return QtCore.QSize(80,80)
If you set this size on the button, that will be the exact fixed size of the button. If you set this size on the bar, the height will be the exact fixed height of the bar, while the width will be the minimum width (from which the bar will expand upwards).
There are a few other errors in the code, for example you are assigning to self.width (& height) which overrides the Qt self.width() method present on all widgets. You're also calling .resize() in the paint method -- I don't know what the intent of that is, but it's a bad idea. If that call does resize the button, it will trigger a re-draw.
Making these changes, the code works (alignment needs some work)
The modified code of the two classes is copied below.

back = QtCore.pyqtSignal()
