How to arrange the QGridLayout like above?

I tried:

QGridLayout *layout = new QGridLayout();
centralWidget->setLayout (layout);

layout->addWidget (objOne, 0, 0);
layout->addWidget (objTwo, 0, 1);
layout->addWidget (objThree, 1, 1);

but failed.

Check the addWidget documentation. You can provide the rowSpan and columnSpan

QGridLayout *layout = new QGridLayout();
centralWidget->setLayout (layout);

layout->addWidget (objOne, 0, 0, -1, 1);
layout->addWidget (objTwo, 0, 1, 1, 1);
layout->addWidget (objThree, 1, 1, 1, 1);

Notice however that it is much easier to create the desired layout using QtDesigner. Check this Qt documentation page for more details
