Problem with resizing dialog

[Seema Rao]

Hi all,

I have written a small app and tried to align the controles in the layout properly. When app comes up it looks good. But when I resize the window using mouse making it smaller layout is messed up. Can some body please explain am I wrong here. I have attached the sample.

Thanks in advance,

when I resize the window using mouse making it smaller layout is messed up.

But what exactly is wrong? Maybe it's just a matter of setting a minimum size for the central label?

Note that layouts will ignore everything you have set with setGeometry().

Its not only matter with centered QLabel, even buttons that I have subclassed fail to adapt to Layout when resizing!!

Can some body please help!!

Could you post an image that shows the correct behavior or at least describe it?

here is the screen shots of image I got when window is created, but when I resized it, it looks like second one. why this happens even I have bound the controls to the layout?

Can you post the code to this dialog and the custom buttons? I think you have a bad sizeHint() somewhere. What's your baseclass for thses buttons? You may need to override sizeHint()const and minimumSizeHint()const in your button class.

What is wrong with that? I'm not sure what do you want to achieve.

I read your code.

The tool buttons are disappearing because thier sizeHint() and minuminSizeHint() are returning QSize(0,0) whcih is the default inherited from QWidget. QAbstractButton implements no sizeHint().

I suggest implementing minimumSizeHint() in TooButton to return the size of your pixmap. Then habd sizeHint() return that valut too so...

ToolButton::minimumSizeHint() const
{
return m_myPixmap.size(); //Or wheverever you are getting the pixmap from.
}

ToolButton::sizeHint() const
{
return minimumSizeHint();
}
