Thank you... I realized in my testing of other widgets that this was the case. It appears that if we want to keep a reference to the 'original' parent, it must be set explicitly as an argument to the constructor/init, or set as an attribute later. Unless you have a more elegant way to get around the re-parenting issue. -Nate

No, if you have widget A added to a layout thats set on widget B and widget A's parent is not widget B then A is _always_ reparented to B. The code for that is in qwidget.cpp and qlayout.cpp. IIRC this is also documented in the QLayout api docs. > Another odd thing is that if I uncomment out the line > "self.layout.addWidget(self.box), it crashes (e.g. stalls out completely, and > I have to kill the shell) Recursive layouts are not supported by Qt, i.e. you can't add the box to the box' layout.
