positioning sub windows in an mdiarea

[eric_vi]

i am using an mdiarea and i do not seem to be able to control the size and the position of the sub window when they are open.

It seems the mdiarea is tiling or cascading them for me automatically but i want to control that myself.

How i can do that and what event should i use to set the sub window geometry

Thanks

The subwindows (QMdiSubWindow?) should have a setGeometry() method.
Create, set geometry and show. In this order.

that is what i exactly what i tried... but it is not holding my setGeometry command
