I have a QWidget which have an horizontal layout which holds a QScrollArea.
When I add a widget to the QScrollArea, I change the maximum size for the container QWidget with:
this->setMaximumSize(newWidget->maximumWidth(), newWidget->maximumHeight());
The maximum size is well changed but the maximize button doesn't work anymore. I can change the size of the widget with the mouse, but not with the maximize button.
If I set the maximum size with a higher value, for example:
this->setMaximumSize(newWidget->maximumWidth() * 2, newWidget->maximumHeight() * 2);
The maximize button works well.
Thanks in advance.
You have set the maximum size to be less than that of your desktop size. So when you try to maximise the widget, you are asking the widget to go beyond the maximum size you set it - so it ignores you.
Presumably newWidget->maximumWidth() * 2 works because that figure is larger than your desktop size.

I have created one application without centralwidget in my mainwindows, and shown as maximized:
setCentralWidget(0);
setWindowState(Qt::WindowMaximized);
In my mainwindow, I have three docks. The dock1 is set to be docked to leftDockWidgetArea, the dock2 and dock3 are set to be docked to the rightDockWidgetArea. Also, I arrange dock2 and dock3 by
splitDockWidget(ui->dock2, ui->dock3, Qt::Horizontal);
So I got a results that the ratio of the width of the three docks are 2:1:1.
My question is how could I set the width of the three docks so that they can be arranged as 1:4:1.
Suppose my screen's width is 1024. I have tried
ui->dockWidget_PrimeVis->resize(1000, 1000);
This does not work since I found some people say the size of docks are controlled by mainwindow. So I found I could call resizeDocks in mainwindow such as
resizeDocks({ ui->dock1, ui->dock2,ui->dock3}, { 150,600,150 }, Qt::Horizontal);
And it does not work. Also, since each dock contains one subclassed widget, I also tried to set the size to each subclassed widget, again, does not work.
Since we can manually change the size of each dock by GUI, so I believe there should be a way to set the size of each dock with codes, right? Anyone has a clue?
The official documentation states the following:
A QDockWidget acts as a wrapper for its child widget, set with setWidget(). Custom size hints, minimum and maximum sizes and size policies should be implemented in the child widget. QDockWidget will respect them, adjusting its own constraints to include the frame and title. Size constraints should not be set on the QDockWidgetitself, because they change depending on whether it is docked; a docked QDockWidget has no frame and a smaller title bar.
Solution:
Just subclass the widget you are showing inside of the dockwidget. You can than overload different methods to change the size hint. For example: QWidget.minimumSizeHint()
Not Tested:
You could also just try to set the minimum size. But i do not know if this works.
My program adds buttons to a gridLayout depending out the dimensions you give it. For example, if you gave it 10X10, it would open a new window with a 10X10 grid of QToolButtons. What I want to do is after it's done making the new window is to resize the window to the minimum that the grid layout is taking up. To do this, I have this statement set up:
this->resize((20 * number_of_rows) + (10 * (number_of_rows-1), (20 * number_of_columns) + ((number_of_columns-1) * 10 ));
The button dimensions are 20X20 and the spacing between them is 10. In theory, the code should make the window just big enough for the grid, but it doesn't. Here's what I get for an input of 15X1: the last button is cut off.
What I get for 30X1: only 24 buttons are shown, it's not wide enough.
Why is the size of the window not consistent?
I figured it out:this->resize(ui->gridLayout->sizeHint());
did the trick.
I have a QDialog subclass that contains a spacer as its only immediate child; all of the window’s UI elements are contained in the spacer. The user cannot change the window size directly, but UI elements will be shown or hidden as the user interacts with the window. I’d like the dialog to resize each time this happens so that the spacer (and the dialog itself) always takes up the minimum possible amount of space. How can I configure my dialog and my spacer to get the desired behavior?
(This question dealt with something similar, although in that case the user was able to resize the window. It was also not clear to me what the OP actually ended up doing in that case.)
You can resize the window to minimumSizeHint() after the number of widgets is changed :
resize(minimumSizeHint());
This will shrink the window to minimum size. But you should consider that the minimum size is not computed until some events are processed in the event loop. So after some widgets are hidden and some other are shown, just process the event loop for some iterations and then resize to minimum.
It's like :
for(int i=0;i<10;i++)
qApp->processEvents();
resize(minimumSizeHint());
A better solution is to single shot a QTimer which calls a slot in which you resize the window to minimum. This way when you resize the window, the minimum size hint is computed correctly.
void QWidget::adjustSize()
Adjusts the size of the widget to fit its contents.
I am now trying to resize a qgraphicsview to a preffered size:
I am using layouts:
this->layout()->addWidget(&qtview);
I have layouts everywhere, so thet the size of my main widow is adjusted depending on its contents.
If I use:
qtview.setMinimumWidth(500);
qtviewSetMinimumHeight(500);
Then my view is scaled to the given size, but I am not able to shrink the main window. (which makes sense as I set a minimum soze)
I would like to tell qt my preferred (not minimum or maximum) size for the view, letting the view use scrollbars when needed (i.e. if the preferred size does not fit in my screen), or letting qt have a smaller view than my preferred size if the scene is smaller than my view, (or enlarge the scene to fit the view in this case)
I am searching for something looking like an hypothetical method setPreferredWidth().
What can I do to get this behaviour?
It sounds like you're looking for the QGraphicsView function setSizePolicy: -
setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, QSizePolicy::Preferred));
I have two widgets, one arbitrary (usually a QLineEdit), and one QLabel which displays a Pixmap. They are placed next to each other with a QHBoxLayout. The widget with this layout is in turn placed in another layout.
Now, what I want is that the label with the pixmap is automatically resized so that it is as high as the arbitrary widget next to it. However, even when I set the label's sizePolicy to Maximum, it still seems to expand to the original pixmap size, instead of resizing the pixmap and shrinking to match the other widget. Instead of having two equally large widgets I have the arbitrary one which is smaller than the pixmap next to it.
Any ideas how to get the size of the pixmap label to match the size of the widget next to it?
How about:
int height = arbitraryWidget->height(); // get desired height.
label->setSizeHint(QSize(label->width(), height); // set size hint to current width and desired height.
label->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Fixed); // optional, but this ensures size is desired.
