  TreeArea::TreeArea(QWidget *parent) :

Solution

  • As e-zinc suggested you have to use layouts. Say you want to insert two widgets into the mainwindow:

    QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
    
    QPushButton *button1 = new QPushButton("button1");
    QPushButton *button2 = new QPushButton("button2");
    
    layout->addWidget(button1);
    layout->addWidget(button2);
    
    setCentralWidget(new QWidget);
    centralWidget()->setLayout(layout);
    

    This will layout widgets horizontally and you will get this result:

    And if you want to layout them vertically use QVBoxLayout

    I would strongly suggest reading the documentation. Layout Management in Qt
