App freezes when new Qlabel(this) in Mainwindow or resize call

[seany]

Hi Santhosh

Note that if I do the same code in MainWindow function, it's the same behavior. So, it isn't an issue of a reset called many times. In fact try out my code on the first resize event and you will see the issue.

Thanks

Ok your problem is not with App freezing, you App works as expected when QLabel is created in resizeEvent(). the problem is when a widget is created with a parent and not added to a layout, it is my default placed at parent's (0,0), which in this is case is overlapping with the menu bar and you cannot click on menu any more.

Just try this and you can see for yourself

QLabel *label = new QLabel("QLabel", this);

QLabel *label = new QLabel("QLabel", this);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

QMainWidget has a special layout, you will need to use setCentralWidget(label) after QLabel creation to make the menu work
