Dialog containing RowLayout not having correct window size

topse

Hi,
Sorry -- I really dont get it. Strong feeling of beeing dump :-/

I want to create a Dialog with QML containing a RowLayout but when showing the dialog, the window size is not corrent.

The Dialog looks like that (its the best result I got after several combinations with width, implicitWidth and Layout.fill):

Picture Here

import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.2

Dialog {
  id: kursDialog

  standardButtons: StandardButton.Cancel | StandardButton.Ok

  Item {
    id: item

    RowLayout {
      id: layout

      Text {
        id: label1
        text: "Name des Kurses: "
      }

      TextField {
        id: nameField
        placeholderText: "Name des Kurses"
      }
    }
  }
}

Can anyone give me a hint, what is going wrong here?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Tobias

Your Item has no width/height, so the Dialog might have trouble laying it out. You could get rid of the Item, or give it a size. This works for me:

Dialog {
        standardButtons: StandardButton.Cancel | StandardButton.Ok
        width: 300

        Item {
            width: childrenRect.width
            height: childrenRect.height

            RowLayout {
                Text { text: "Name des Kurses: " }
                TextField { placeholderText: "Name des Kurses" }
            }
 }

The TextEdit is not completly fit in the window... you know, why?

Thanks again :-/

Did you provide a width for the Dialog as I did in my code?

topse

No I didnt... sorry. But: Why do I have to? Manual says, that Dialog will figure out the size of the children by itself?

xargs1

Manual says, that Dialog will figure out the size of the children by itself?

But it doesn't say that; it says it will attempt to size itself. From my experiences, it often fails.

topse

OK. But I think then I may have a problem: The application will run on Windows and Android. I think, on both OS'ses the sizes of the Text and the TextField will be very different, because Android will use larger a Font. Do you have such a use-case?
