designer resizing widgets
Message 1 in thread
Hi I am using qt designer, I am trying to get an example going where I create a dialog, and add a line edit and a button in designer, and have them be resized according to the dialogs size.
Nothing I try seems to work. I have read the docs and examples from a number of sources. Seemingly designer is supposed to handle this aspect of the ui, but it's not.
I have:
set their size policy to expanding,
set the horizontal/vertical stretch > 0
set the size increment on the form > 0
set the forms size policy to expanding
put the widgets in a horizontal layout
nothing is affecting the widgets behavior. the code that these settings affects is generated by qmake, so I can't really tinker with it. What am I not doing here??

Are you remembering to use layouts? You'd normally handle this situation by
placing the widgets in a layout and using spacers where appropriate.

Use layouts but don't forget that for the top-level layout
you should select NOTHING and then activate horizontal,
vertical or grid layout.
