Why does QWebView sizeHint() return a fixed value?

[JPNaude]

Hi

I'm wondering what the reason is that QWebView::sizeHint() is implemented to return a fixed value:

QSize QWebView::sizeHint() const
{
    return QSize(800, 600); // ####...
}

QSize QWebView::sizeHint() const
{
    return QSize(800, 600); // ####...
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It makes putting it into a layout pretty useless. On that point, is there a recommended way to let QWebView respect a layout? I've reimplemented the resizeEvent() and got it working, but why is it needed?

Thanks for any comments.

Try setting the size policy. The size hint is just a hint and usage of it is dependent on the size policy as far as I know.

Even so, putting the thing into a layout may still be useful whenever other widgets come into play, but that is probably out of scope here.

Setting the size policy did it thanks.
