Docking widgets setFixedSize and setBaseSize Problem

[forrestfsu]

I have a few docking widgets that I would like to set the width and height of them on startup. However, if I use setBaseSize it does not work at all. I am able to use setFixedSize to get it to startup with the correct size, but then the user cannot resize the docking windows. As a partial workaround I didn't use either, instead I set the setMinimumSize to the size I wanted on startup. Yet, this still leaves the problem of not allowing the user to make the docking window any smaller then the size I specify in setMinimumSize. Is there anyway I can accomplished what I want (to start the window at a specific size, but then allow the user to modify the size however they wish)?

Thanks in advance.

You should specify the sizeHint for each of the widgets (subclass and reimplement sizeHint()). If anything is to help, this should.

Thanks for the tip...it worked perfectly. Incase anybody has a similar problem, here is the solution:

In the header file:

private:
 virtual QSize sizeHint () const;

private:
 virtual QSize sizeHint () const;

In the cpp file:

QSize  ClassName::sizeHint() const
{
 QSize theSize(284, 300);
 return theSize;
}

QSize  ClassName::sizeHint() const
{
 QSize theSize(284, 300);
 return theSize;
}
