qsplitter children sizes

[mrjj]

Hi
From small tests i just did, it dont seems like QSplitter allows/supports
different heights for the widgets. will it seems to work for a moment using
fixed/setmax methods, it behaves oddly when refreshed.

Hi
You could put 2 grid layouts in the splitter. seems to work pretty ok

@mrjj

[user4592357]

how do i add a layout to splitter?

You don't. You create two layouts like @mrjj shown, then select both and then click on "Lay Out horizontally in Splitter.

@jsulm
i'm not using designer

[jsulm]

@user4592357 Then add two widgets and in each widget add a layout

[user4592357]

@jsulm
what about splitter then?

[mrjj]

Hi
You could just use designer
and then take the c++ code.
Code is in setupUI()

@mrjj
i tried to do that but i need to lay them out vertically which gives the same result as writing the code

Hi
Im not sure what goes wrong. the concept seems to work.
do u have mutiple widgets pr side in splitter of what is difference to the mini test?

[user4592357]

@mrjj
i create one tall widget at top and one short widget at bottom. then i select lay out vertically in splitter.
and both get smaller size:

after laying out:

Hi
yes, the Splitter adjust a bit to the sizehints of the widgets if no min/max is set.
So the issue is that they become smaller when inserted into splitter ?

[user4592357]

@mrjj
now yes,
with code the only first one became taller

[mrjj]

@user4592357
but do you set min/max on them or how do you control size ?

[user4592357]

@mrjj
i set min and max sizes to the same value and got this after puttting in splitter:

widgets got narrower.

[mrjj]

@user4592357
you set the min/max on the widgets?
it works here.

[user4592357]

@mrjj
yeah i've set the sizes to the widgets

vertical layout works, but not vertical splitter

[mrjj]

@user4592357
Do you also try to make them less wide than the width of the Splitter ?
I tried some values of max HEIGHT and it seems to like it just fine.

You should NOT set maximum width as it will change the splitter.

[user4592357]

@mrjj
yeah i got it.

but when if i don't set max height on second widget (or set a large value), it occupies more height than i need
