resize a docked QDockWidget programmatically

[ArkKup]

Hi,

is there any way to resize a docked QDockWidget programmatically ? I have three dock windows one on the left side, one on the right side and one at the bottom.
I'd like to make the bottom window smaller in height since is contains only log information

dock = new QDockWidget(tr("bottomDock"), this);
 dock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::AllDockWidgetAreas);
 QPlainTextEdit *logEdit = new QPlainTextEdit(dock);
 dock->setWidget(logEdit);
 dock->resize(200,200); //not working
 addDockWidget(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea, dock);

dock = new QDockWidget(tr("bottomDock"), this);
 dock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::AllDockWidgetAreas);
 QPlainTextEdit *logEdit = new QPlainTextEdit(dock);
 dock->setWidget(logEdit);
 dock->resize(200,200); //not working
 addDockWidget(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea, dock);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I have tried calling resize() on the logEdit but no luck.
The only way to make it work I found is to use setMaximumHeight on logEdit but I don't like that solution.

Anybody knows more appropriate solution to this problem ?

The dock widgets size is managed by the QMainWindow layout - so forcing the widget to a max height is probably your only simple way to do it.

OK thanks. if there is no simple solution can anyone recommend more advance solution to this problem ? that I could try

You could subclass QLayout and set it as your QMainWindow layout.

I am facing the same problem. I too need to resize a docked QDockWidget programmatically (change it's width on some user action).

Can I have some sample example code for using layout for QDockWidget (advance solution to this problem) by which you think we may be able to resize the docked QDockWidget programmatically.

Thanks.
