Is it possible to make the two widgets in a QSplitter of fixed size

Qt Enthusiast

I have a layout and QWidget and I have QSplitter with Vertical Orientation

QVBoxLayout *container_layout = new QVBoxLayout;
container_layout->addWidget(d_horSplitter);

QWidget     *container =        new QWidget;
container->setLayout(container_layout);
d_verSplitter->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
d_verSplitter->addWidget(container);
d_verSplitter->addWidget(bottomWidget);

I want to make container and bottomWidget of fixed size . Is it possible to make to widgets addWidgets in QSplitter as fixed size

Yes it is, as you probably already know by now, because adding the fixed size to your already existing widgets is a one-liner.

Hi,

Out of curiosity, why use a splitter if you want to fixe the size of your widgets ?

Qt Enthusiast

It is requirement from our marketing and could you let me know what is that one liner code . because I do not know yet

SGaist

So they basically want an unusable splitter ?

You would already have that answer by searching fixed in the documentation.

@SGaist said:

searching setWindowTitle(title);

//creating two splitters

d_horSplitter =   new QSplitter;
d_verSplitter =   new QSplitter;


/* creating the refresh button at the bottom*/
QWidget *bottomWidget = new QWidget;
/* to make the refresh button as of fixed size*/
bottomWidget->setMaximumHeight(50);
bottomWidget->setMinimumHeight(50);

d_verSplitter->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
d_verSplitter->addWidget(container);
d_verSplitter->addWidget(bottomWidget);

and it is working .

<My question is that the correct way to do the same or is there a better to make the vertical splitter locked

SGaist

setFixedHeight would be cleaner.

It's the only solution I know but like I wrote: having a locked splitter is counter intuitive and will make your users pretty angry.
