[PyQt] Question about laying out widgets.

[Christian]

Hi Gabriele,
you made some design mistakes:
- you have to create separate widgets for each row, you can't reuse them
- you have to add a top layout and assign it to the groupbox. Then you 
can add the layouts of the lines to that top layout. You can't assign 
multiple layouts to one widget.

To save a reference of the individual Widgets you could store them in a 
list:
self.job_rows = []

and then in the click handler:
self.job_rows.add((JobNo, CustJob, CustOrd, Product))

or you could create a class instead of the tuple, what you prefer.


I have attached a working program without storing a reference of the 
individual controls.
