Why the layout managers in QT doesn't work?

I am developing a tiny qt program, and have writen above code in a QMainWindow subclass Constructor. But the widgets displayed are messed up.All advices are appreciated!

The following is the result screenshot:

I suspect that the problem lies in the top level layout, which is winLayout. Set QMainWindow's central widget to winLayout's parent:

winLayout = new QVBoxLayout(ui->centralWidget);

I recommend using Qt Creator or Qt Designer for designing the user interfaces. Qt Creator creates the necessary code for layouts and other uninteresting things. And even if you decide to create user interfaces by writing your own code, you can create a prototype with Qt Creator and look what kind of code it creates.
