import sys from PyQt4 import QtGui class Widget(QtGui.QWidget): def __init__(self, parent=None): QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self) self._label = QtGui.QLabel('A Label') layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout() self.setLayout(layout) layout.addWidget(self._label) self._button = QtGui.QPushButton('&Push Me', self) def paintEvent(self, event): w = self._button.width() h = self._button.height() x = (self.rect().width() - w)/2.0 y = (self.rect().height() - h)/2.0 self._button.setGeometry(x,y,w,h) if __name__ == "__main__": app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) widget = Widget() widget.show() sys.exit(app.exec_()) I will abjure any relation to this code..
