Resize a Widget

[jpn]

Is the parentWidget a window or in a layout?

[sonu]

No Sir , the parent Widget is not a window .
It is also widget and a child of another QHboxlayOut Object.

And is this layout installed on a widget? You must have a hierarchy of layouts up to the top level widget, aka window.

It would be helpful if you post a minimal compilable piece of code, highlighting the problem, as far as it is possible to rip that part out of the program and still reproduce the same result. Otherwise give us at least the class where the above code is defined.

Sir i can't understand your reply .please explain it clearly.

It's hard to draw conclusions without seeing more code.
I am still having difficulty to understand what exactly is not working for you.

Try out this code. Does that work for you?

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
        // Image Label
        QLabel* imageLabel = new QLabel;
        imageLabel->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Base);
        imageLabel->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
        imageLabel->setScaledContents(true);
 
        // Loading Image
        QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(0,
                                                        QObject::tr("Open image"),
                                                        QApplication::applicationDirPath(),
                                                        QObject::tr("Images (*.jpg *.png *.gif *.xpm)"));
        imageLabel->setPixmap(fileName);
 
        // CentralWidget
        QWidget* cw = new QWidget;
 
        // Layout
        QHBoxLayout* lo = new QHBoxLayout;
        lo->addWidget(imageLabel);
        cw->setLayout(lo);
 
        // Instantiating and showing mainwindow
        QMainWindow mw;
        mw.setCentralWidget(cw);
        mw.show();
        return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        QApplication app(argc, argv);

        // Image Label
        QLabel* imageLabel = new QLabel;
        imageLabel->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Base);
        imageLabel->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
        imageLabel->setScaledContents(true);

        // Loading Image
        QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(0,
                                                        QObject::tr("Open image"),
                                                        QApplication::applicationDirPath(),
                                                        QObject::tr("Images (*.jpg *.png *.gif *.xpm)"));
        imageLabel->setPixmap(fileName);

        // CentralWidget
        QWidget* cw = new QWidget;

        // Layout
        QHBoxLayout* lo = new QHBoxLayout;
        lo->addWidget(imageLabel);
        cw->setLayout(lo);

        // Instantiating and showing mainwindow
        QMainWindow mw;
        mw.setCentralWidget(cw);
        mw.show();
        return app.exec();
}

Could you clearly state what you want? Keep in mind that we don't know anything about your project.

Well, actually you don't resize by hand anything that is managed by a layout manager. It is layout managers responsibility to maintain geometries of widgets added to it. There are a few ways (size policies, stretch factors..) to fine tune how this is done. Recommended reading: Layout Classes.
