QWizard fit

[baray98]

I was using QWizard and added some pages that contain widget of different sizes and it seems that QWizard will adjust itself as the the widget inside it grows bigger but won't shrink if the next widget is smaller than the previous one.

I want to have it tight fit on the QWizardPage size. Is there such a way to do it?

like using QLayout::setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize) kinda thing...

So QLayout::setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize) does not work? Have you tried it for QWizardPage or QWizard itself?

jpn,

QLayout::setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize) applied on the QWizardPage just makes the page "fixed size" but the QWizard remains unchanged.

tried accessing the layout on QWizard with QWidget::layout() but this will return 0 so I can't tell wizard to wrap it up using QLayout::setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize)

I have the same identical problem.
Has anyone a solution to this problem?

Thanks

There is no solution that I know at this point in time

Do you really want the wizard dialog to automatically resize back and forth meanwhile the user switches between pages? I don't think that's a good idea, because the location of the next/cancel/whatever buttons would change all the time. Users are used to navigating in wizards so that they keep clicking for example the next button. With your approach one could easily click the cancel button by accident while the intention was to press next.

good point jpn.
I agree it would be a good idea to set the wizard size to the size of its biggest page.
Do you know how to do this? By default the wizard adapt to the current page size.

My real problem is slightly different: I have a page in the wizard with a "more" button that changes the wizard page to show addition controls in the page.
The problem is that when the "more" is clicked the wizard page is properly resized, but that does not cause the resize of the Wizard.

In the wizard page constructor I set the wizardpage layout to fixed size

...
layout()->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
...

...
layout()->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

then when the "more" button is clicked I call a slot hiding/showing a button group with additional controls

...
gbAdvancedOptions->setVisible(yes);
...

...
gbAdvancedOptions->setVisible(yes);
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

As I said before, the wizard page is properly resized, but the wizard is not, so I can not see the additional controls. I have to resize the wizard manually to see them.
I tried the fallowing solution, but it is not working

...
gbAdvancedOptions->setVisible(yes);
wizard()->adjustSize();
...

...
gbAdvancedOptions->setVisible(yes);
wizard()->adjustSize();
...

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Do you have any other suggestion?
Thanks in advance for your help

Call adjustSize() member of all pages.
Get biggest size (biggestSize) resulting sizes
and setFixedSize(biggestSize);
Now all pages have the same size.
