    Hi
    Do you mean QMessageBox ?
    It is not really supported but hacks exists.

    Also see this "bug" report.

          @mrjj Hello

          How will you change the size of QDialog not the QMessageBox ?

          I am doing like this:
          fileDialog->resize(m_measDialogWidth, m_measDialogHeight);

          Somehow it is not setting the width and height at all.
          I am always getting the default width and height.

          Thanks

            Hi
            is that a Qt FileDialog or just your own QDialog based dialog ?

            If you have an UI file with your dialog, you can directly set size there.

                @mrjj No.. it is Qt FileDialog.
                Following is the code:
                QFileDialog* fileDialog = new QFileDialog(this);
                fileDialog->setWindowTitle("Open Meas File");
                fileDialog->setAcceptMode(QFileDialog::AcceptOpen);
                fileDialog->setNameFilter(tr("DAT (*.dat)"));
                fileDialog->setGeometry(this->x(), this->y(),this->m_measDialogWidth, this->m_measDialogHeight);
                .....
                if(fileDialog->exec())
                {
                .....
                }

                Note: m_measDialogWidth and m_measDialogHeight always has the previously set width/height

                using setGeometry i am able to set the position but not the width and height.
                why is that ?

                Thanks

                  Ok. When a platform (OS) has a FileDialog, Qt uses that one.
                  Called the native Dialog and that is why the setGeometry is ignored.
                  (on linux for instance it can remember the size so it will load some size when shown)

                  You can use
                  fileDialog->setOption(QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog, true);

                  and you can then resize it. but it uses Qt version of FileDialog.
                  Not the one from the OS.

                      Super.
                      So i guess the Qt build in dialog is just fine for you.

                        @mrjj Yes. I had set the native Dialog option previously but resizing of the dialog was done prior to that . So it was not reflecting the changes. Thank you :)
