General question about geometry management
Message 1 in thread
If you create a dialog with geometry management, does it automatically
resize the individual widgets with the dialog is resized? I need to make
one of my widgets capable of resizing horizontally and I'd rather not
implement the resizing stuff on my own (lazy).
I'm trying to decide if I need to convert my dialog to geometry
management.

Yes.

You do :)
IMHO, geometry management should be the default. Not only is it easier,
but it will make your interface look better in every case. All for free.
Well, I mean... easier *if* the Trolls did it; I know I'd go mad if I
had to implement some layout managers I just loved to use (e.g.
something called PackSplit in a toolkit called Trestle).

Could you elaborate? I don't know Trestle very well, and can't
remember looking at PackSplit at all.
Are there any other neat designs or ideas in Trestle that you'd like
to see in Qt?
