Qt layout not expanding

Question

I have a Qt Widget which has a frame, containg the rest of the widgets.

I only want one of the widgets to expand on maximazing the window, so I've set a max value for the others.

But it will only expand if I set a grid layout to the frame, which messes up the place of the widgets.

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Do you use any kind of layout ? Size policy only works if the parent has a layout set.

You can use a combination of different layouts to obtain the desired look, otherwise you will have to calculate the size of the 'expanding widget' yourself in the resize event method of the parent.
