Answer 1

As e-zinc suggested you have to use layout. Say you want to insert two widgets into the mainwindow.

QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;

QPushButton *button1 = new QPushButton("button1");
QPushButton *button2 = new QPushButton("button2");

layout->addWidget(button1);
layout->addWidget(button2);

setCentralWidget(new QWidget);
centralWidget()->setLayout(layout);

This will layout widgets horizontally and you will get this result:

And if you want to layout them vertically use QVBoxLayout

I would strongly suggest reading the documentation. Layout Management in Qt

Answer 2

Use QMainWindow::setCentralWidget(QWidget *) to add your own control.
