Re: [Interest] geometry() for a widget that hasn't been shown

Thanks, Jan. I thought the same thing, but it didn't help. I even called EnsurePolished() first, having seen such things in the Qt source. But it appears that adjustSize() adjusts child widgets for the current window geometry, and doesn't try to determine an accurate window geometry first. The

Re: [Interest] geometry() for a widget that hasn't been shown

Hello John, Maybe the QWidget::adjustSize() function is what you are looking for. I think after calling adjustSize() the geometry() function should give a up to date result. Hth, Jan On 21-9-2015 19:33, John Weeks wrote: > If this is a repeat, my apologies. I can't tell if I saw this arrive on

[Interest] geometry() for a widget that hasn't been shown

If this is a repeat, my apologies. I can't tell if I saw this arrive on the list! In general a QWidget that hasn't been made visible yet gives bogus results for QWidget::geometry(). Qt only guarantees that a call to setGeometry() will result in a Resize event when the window is made visible.

[Interest] geometry() for a widget that hasn't been shown

In general a QWidget that hasn't been made visible yet gives bogus results for QWidget::geometry(). Qt only guarantees that a call to setGeometry() will result in a Resize event when the window is made visible. But we often need to ask a window or child widget how big it is before it is made
