I have a question about size hints that can be illustrated with the simple example below. If I create my Test widget so it returns a size hint of (200,100), it is rendered with a size of 200, 100. If I create Test so it is 100x70, it is rendered to be 200x100. If I create test to be 1000x700, it is rendered to be 853x533 (my screen resolution is 1280x800). If I set the size policy to be fixed, then the central widget size policy is respected, but I can't resize the window. How can I make m respect the size hint of the central widget, but still maintain the ability to resize the window?
Thank you, Darren import sys from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui class Test(QtGui.QWidget): def __init__(self, width, height): QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self) #self.setSizePolicy(QtGui.QSizePolicy.Fixed, QtGui.QSizePolicy.Fixed) print 'Central widget should have width=%d, height=%d' %(width, height) self._width = width self._height = height def sizeHint(self): return QtCore.QSize(self._width, self._height) app = QtGui.QApplication([]) m = QtGui.QMainWindow() c = Test(1000, 700) m.setCentralWidget(c) m.show() s = c.size() print 'but central widget has width=%d, height=%d'% (s.width(), s.height()) sys.exit(app.exec_()) _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
