Why don't you use a QListView for your rows, it will manage all the issues for you? Just make sure that after you add it you click on the Class (top right window of designer) and assign a layout or it wont expand properly.

I use a QLIstWidget inside a QScrollArea to make a scrollable image list

Try this for adding other objects to the list, this is how I add an image to the list.

QImage& qim = myclass.getQTImage();

QImage iconImage = copyImageToSquareRegion(qim, ui->display_image->palette().color(QWidget::backgroundRole()));

QListWidgetItem* pItem = new QListWidgetItem(QIcon(QPixmap::fromImage(iconImage)), NULL);

pItem->setData(Qt::UserRole, "thumb" + QString::number(ui->ImageThumbList->count()));  // probably not necessary for you

QString strTooltip = "a tooltip"

pItem->setToolTip(strTooltip);

ui->ImageThumbList->addItem(pItem);
