I have a checkbox with some text and I have a label underneath this checkbox. How can I align this label so it aligns with the text on the checkbox.

What I want:

[ ] insert_text

    some_text 

What I have:

[ ] insert_text

some_text

A possible solution is to add a padding to the left side of the QLabel of a suitable width, to calculate the width I have created a custom QCheckBox that returns the width of the indicator but to that amount you must add a couple of pixels that represent the space between the indicator and the text:

#include <QtWidgets>



class CheckBox: public QCheckBox{

public:

    using QCheckBox::QCheckBox;

    int width_of_indicator(){

        QStyleOptionButton opt;

        initStyleOption(&opt);

        return  style()->subElementRect(QStyle::SE_CheckBoxIndicator, &opt,this).width();

    }

};



int main(int argc, char *argv)

{

    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QWidget w;

    auto ch = new CheckBox("insert_text");

    auto label = new QLabel("some_text: Stack Overflow");

    label->setStyleSheet(QString("padding-left: %1px").arg(ch->width_of_indicator()+2));

    auto lay = new QVBoxLayout(&w);

    lay->addWidget(ch);

    lay->addWidget(label);

    w.show();

    return a.exec();

}
