Hello everybody.
When I have been studying this book : "Qt GUI Programming with Qt4, Second Edition"; saw an example which I implemented it on my Ubuntu, but it NOT compiled ...
And the given error when I try to make it, is :

finddialog.cpp:26:40: error: no matching function for call to ‘QVBoxLayout::addWidget(QHBoxLayout*&)’
finddialog.cpp:26:40: note: candidate is:
/usr/include/qt4/QtGui/qboxlayout.h:85:10: note: void QBoxLayout::addWidget(QWidget*, int, Qt::Alignment)
/usr/include/qt4/QtGui/qboxlayout.h:85:10: note:   no known conversion for argument 1 from ‘QHBoxLayout*’ to ‘QWidget*’

Although I don't manipulation the codes!
I know the nature of the error, but I don't know how to solve it ...
The codes that have beed this error are :

C++

QHBoxLayout *topLeftLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
    topLeftLayout->addWidget(label);
    topLeftLayout->addWidget(lineEdit);
    QVBoxLayout *leftLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    leftLayout->addWidget(topLeftLayout); // this line have an error -> note: 
                                // no matching function for call to 
                                // ‘QVBoxLayout::addWidget(QHBoxLayout*&)’
                 // note: candidate is:
                 // /usr/include/qt4/QtGui/qboxlayout.h:85:10: note: 
                 // void QBoxLayout::addWidget(QWidget*, int, Qt::Alignment)

what is the problem? and how to solve it?
Thanks everybody.

Try this:

    QHBoxLayout *topLeftLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
    QVBoxLayout *leftLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
    topLeftLayout->addWidget(label);
    topLeftLayout->addWidget(lineEdit);

    //leftLayout->addWidget(topLeftLayout);
    leftLayout-> addLayout(topLeftLayout);
</pre>
