PyQt5 groupbox QGroupBox

We will examine the topic of groupbox, an important topic from our GUI articles..
Why am I saying important? because it will benefit us a lot in form design..
It will help us better use the regions of the form.

While using this widget, we will also use horizontal and vertical layouts.
I set the form main layout as horizontal layout, QHBoxLayout.

I will create 2 groupboxes. there will be vertical buttons in the groupbox on the left and vertical buttons in the groupbox on the right

Let the form be horizontal in general

h_general_form_layout = QHBoxLayout()

I’m calling methods that make groupbox

self.createGroupBox1()
self.createGroupBox2()

I add 2 groupboxes to my general layout

h_general_form_layout.addWidget(self.groupbox_1)
h_general_form_layout.addWidget(self.groupbox_2)

I am setting the general layout

self.setLayout(h_general_form_layout)

my groupbox methods

def createGroupBox1(self):
	self.groupbox_1 = QGroupBox("Group 1")
	h_layout = QHBoxLayout()

	button1  = QPushButton("button -1",self)
	button2  = QPushButton("button -2",self)
	button3  = QPushButton("button -3",self)

	h_layout.addWidget(button1)
	h_layout.addWidget(button2)
	h_layout.addWidget(button3)

	self.groupbox_1.setLayout(h_layout)

def createGroupBox2(self):
	self.groupbox_2 = QGroupBox("Group 2")
	v_layout = QVBoxLayout()

	button1 = QPushButton("button -4", self)
	button2 = QPushButton("button -5", self)
	button3 = QPushButton("button -6", self)

	v_layout.addWidget(button1)
	v_layout.addWidget(button2)
	v_layout.addWidget(button3)

	self.groupbox_2.setLayout(v_layout)

Result :
