QDockWidget resizing issue
Message 1 in thread
Hello-
I have a QDockWidget that Ive placed in my QMainWindow.
Im trying to keep the thing from being able to resize
vertically. I dont want the user dragging on it so
it gets larger in the Y direction. The dockwidge is
non-floating and fixed at the top. No matter what I try
it keeps allowing me to resize it. Ive called these
functions on it:
QSizePolicy size;
size.setVerticalPolicy(QSizePolicy::Fixed);
setSizePolicy(size);
setFixedHeight(120);
Also, is there a way to disable the drag bar at the bottom of
the dockwidget as well?
Thanks,
Jeff

Maybe I'm missing something, but if you don't want all this, why do you
use a QDockWidget at all? Use a standard widget and put it into the
central area with your content widget using a QSplitter if you want to
allow horizontal resizing.

My MainWindow has a dockwidget at the top and a QGraphicsView below. My
central widget is
the view, which is why Im using a dockwidget at the top.
The dockwidget appears to be broken again. I looked at some bug reports
and it appears that is has
been problematic in this even up until 4.3.0. Ive tried 4.3.1 and it
doesnt work either.
As a side question (minor), can I remove the title of the dockwidget
somehow or is it required? It takes up
real estate I would rather keep for the View.
Thanks,
Jeff

Thats not a real answer to my question. As far as I can see you don't
want any features of the dockwidget, so having the graphics view and the
content of the dockwidget in a vertical layout as central widget would
do the same thing. And you wouldn't have to hack the dockwidget to
disable vertical/horizontal resize.

Dockwidgets work fine over here.

There's no Qt4.3.1, there may be post 4.3.0 snapshots of course. I don't
see what needs to be fixed in dockwidgets, they behave as I would expect
them to.

See above, if you don't want the dockwidget features don't use a
dockwidget.
