Question

i have made a GUI with 5 options.
now i want this 5 icons aligned to the center of the window.
what i have done to do this is i have used gridlayout to arrange them in a single column.the problem is that whenever i click on any area along that icon(horizontal area) that option gets selected automatically.Is this due to Grid layout?what can i do in order to allign the buttons the way i want and they can be selected when i click on them specifically and not by clicking anywhere.
