QSpacerItem doesn't respect the minimum width of the qcombobox

[PinTxO]

Hi everyone.

I have the next problem. In runtime I create a QWidget with a QHBoxLayout layout and from the left to the right, I create a QLabel, a QSpacerItem, a QComboBox and a QPushButton. The idea is putting the label on the left and all the rest to the right. I put a minimum width to the combo but the spaceritem doesn't respect it doing it smaller than I want. Why?

The QSpacerItem:

auto headerSpacer = new QSpacerItem(0, 0, QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy::Preferred);

auto headerSpacer = new QSpacerItem(0, 0, QSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding, QSizePolicy::Preferred);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The minimum width of the combo:

comboDevices->setMinimumWidth(500);

comboDevices->setMinimumWidth(500);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Have you tried with a non-zero size?

Btw, if you are doing that in code, then calling QBoxLayout::addStretch() would be less code.

It as my fault. Ten lines of code below I had

comboDevices->setMinimumWidth(175);

comboDevices->setMinimumWidth(175);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Anyway thanks for the addStretch function, I didn't know it.
