QGraphicsView::fitInView() does not work after expanding the view

[lain]

Hi,
I made a main window which has four frames (QFrame) in the grid layout. The first frame has a QGraphicsView to show an image set to QGraphicsPixmapItem.
I tried to implement functionality to "maximize" the first frame by hiding other three frames:

frame2->hide();
frame3->hide();
frame4->hide();
view->fitInView(item, Qt::KeepAspectRatio);

frame2->hide();
frame3->hide();
frame4->hide();
view->fitInView(item, Qt::KeepAspectRatio);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

With the code above the first frame (and the view) is expanded but the size of the image remains unchanged.

Could someone please give me a few pointers?

What is "item"?

Typically, you use fitInView() in your QGraphicView's resizeEvent() handler, and you give it the scene()->sceneRect() for the first parameters.

Calling this from anywhere else will have a one-time effect, since it won't be called after a resize unless it is in the resizeEvent handler.
