RE: Qt 4.2 (Windows) - workaround for window geometry shift? (wi ndowcreeps upward)
Message 1 in thread
How do you save it and load it?
I do it like that in my QMainWindow and have no problem:
QSettings Settings(Whatever...)
Settings.setValue("pos", pos());
Settings.setValue("size", size());
and then load like
QPoint Point = Settings->value("pos").toPoint();
if (Point.x() < 1 || Point.y() < 1) {
Point.setX(DEFAULT_GUI_POS_X);
Point.setY(DEFAULT_GUI_POS_Y);
}
QSize Size = Settings->value("size").toSize();
if (Size.height() < 1 || Size.width() < 1) {
Size.setHeight(DEFAULT_GUI_SIZE_X);
Size.setWidth(DEFAULT_GUI_SIZE_Y);
}
move(Point);
resize(Size);

I see that if you do what the docs suggest to save/restore the window
geometry, on Windows, each time you restore the geometry, the window
shifts up by the titlebar height, and left by the frame width.
Looks like the saved window geometry includes the window frame, but
restoring the geometry does NOT take into account the frame.
I'll report a bug, but is there a workaround for this?

I've tried it like that, also by calling geometry()/setGeometry(),
saveGeometry()/restoreGeometry(). All cause the windows to shift up/left.
The only solution I could come up with is to also save the frameGeometry
(which seems to be shifted up/left too much), and then add on the
difference between the geometry and the frameGeometry.
As I mentioned, I believe this is a WINDOWS ONLY problem.
But storing the geometry and then restoring it definitely causes problems.

Hi,
Do you use a style for this app?
I ask this because I descovered bugs that was only present for a style.
for example, a sizehint problem occured in a combobox only when I
applied cleanslooks style to the app
?......

Yes, I am using a custom style. It is derived from WindowsXPStyle.

Hi Paul, I was having the same problem with geometry()/setGeometry().
The problem went away with saveGeometry()/restoreGeometry(). Your
problem may be the timing of the save settings. Something may be
happening prior to the actual save.
