I'm new and I just want to learn how to code some UI. My problem with PyQt5 is the following.

I just create 3 labels (each named label, label1 and label2). One is supposed to contain just text, another one is supposed to print the time and the third one is supposed to print the position (x, y) of the mouse.

When I use the grid layout, it just print Qlabels at the same place even if I specify a different position with grid add widget.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

My code :

void QMainWindow::setCentralWidget(QWidget *widget)

Sets the given widget to be the main window's central widget.

Note: QMainWindow takes ownership of the widget pointer and deletes it at the appropriate time.
