Can't resize window

AlaaM

I need to set a fixed size for my entire application (all screens will have the same size).
Even if the content won't fit, I would want the window size to remain fixed (and maybe hide some content).
I tried:

setSizePolicy (QSizePolicy::Ignored, QSizePolicy::Ignored);
setFixedSize(width,height);

in my MainWindow.
But it doesn't work. The window always fits the content.
How do I resize it to a fixed width and height?

the widgets in the window are assigned dynamically

Hi,

Why not use the Fixed QSizePolicy ?

Also, do you mean fix the size of the main widget or are you fixing the size of all the widgets of your application ?

Thanks for the reply.
I also tried Fixed QSizePolicy:

setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Fixed, QSizePolicy::Fixed);
setFixedSize(WINDOW_WIDTH,WINDOW_HEIGHT);

I got the same result.
And I need to fix the size of the window itself. Even if that mean hiding some buttons. Like this:

I need my layout to look as in this picture. As you can see here, Button 4 is hidden. I need it to be shown only when it gets focus (maybe I need to make my layout scrollable)

Thanks

Use a QScrollArea

Where are you setting the fixed size ?

AlaaM

Thanks.
QScrollArea along with stackedWidget->setGeometry(0,0,WINDOW_WIDTH,WINDOW_HEIGHT); and scrollArea->setFixedSize(WINDOW_WIDTH,WINDOW_HEIGHT); worked.

Why set the stacked widget geometry ? Shouldn't the scroll area be enough ?

AlaaM

Just tried to remove that and the screen didn't look as I wanted. Maybe it's because not all my screens are scrollAreas ...
