Strange resize behavior

**Lykurg** · 8th January 2007, 22:06

Hi,

normally you only can resize a window with an QPushButton only that small, that at least the text is correctly shown. But in my Designer-created dialog, you can shirk the window even smaller. Why, and how to make, that it isn't allowed to sized so small?

Thanks,

You can always try to play with the minimumSize property.

The problem is QPushButton has a minimumSizeHint of 40x25, so it should never shrink to 0 with sizePolicy set to Minimum or Fixed. This is really weird and I can't find a way to fix it. I have seen such things before but not in Qt4.

yes, with minimumSize I can handel this, but I want, that the user can decided which font size should be used, and for that minimumSize is not optimal...

But I just recognized, that this behavier could have to do with my QFrames. If I delete the QFrame on the bottom, and put the Buttons and the spacer in an Layout, than I can't shirk the Widget smaler than the buttons. I cant test it here in all ways, but I really guess that the problem must be in the two QFrames (top and bottem). I will have a look on it later that day.
