Fit & Resizable QLCDNumber

[CodeFreaks]

@mrjj
Thanks,
but I can't extract the accurate dimensions to do calculation (as mentioned in first post).

@CodeFreaks
Its not using a font so u cant get its size for the digits.
See here

Thanks,
but why "contentsRect()" doesn't return the accurate width and height of widgets, too?

[mrjj]

Hi
it should be make sure the widget is visible before you read it.

Hi,
Thanks for reply.

    if(currentLCDNum1->isVisible()){
    cout<<"Main   LCD  W: "<<myLCDRect.width()<<"   H: "<<myLCDRect.height()<<endl;
    }

Main   LCD  W: 96   H: 26

Am I doing wrong?

[mrjj]

@CodeFreaks
Nope, looks good.
The reported sizes 96,26 is not correct ?

@mrjj
Thanks,
No, it's not correct. I think the width of parent widget (Frame1) is 96 . Both QLCDNumbers reported the same height but as you can see in first post they are different, in size.

Hi I was wondering what myLCDRect is ? ( i read is a LCdNumber, but seems wrong, reading it again)
If its a QRect, you take before LCD is shown, it might no be correct.

i made this test form

and did

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_released() {
     qDebug() <<"Main   LCD  W: "<<ui->lcdNumber_1->width()<<"   H: "<<ui->lcdNumber_1->height();
     qDebug() <<"second LCD  W: "<<ui->lcdNumber_2->width()<<"   H: "<<ui->lcdNumber_2->height();
}
result is.
Main   LCD  W:  91    H:  31
second LCD  W:  131    H:  71

Which seems pretty ok ?

Hi, thanks for reply.
Is there any way that we can achieve true sizes before they are shown?
If there isn't, How can we do that without user signals (pushbutton) ?

[mrjj]

@CodeFreaks
Hi
often they have sizeHint size but why you need this before shown ?

I though goal was to let LED1.height be 0.75 of Led2.Height

or did i completely misunderstand the goal?

[CodeFreaks]

@mrjj
You are right,
If I can calculate the sizes before they are shown, without any events they will present with desire sizes at the beginning.
If a method exist which without any user signal, immediately after it is shown, reports the accurate sizes. It can be a good alternative, too.

Hi
You could make a custom widget based on QFrame and override
ResizeEvent and then set sizes for its LCD members.
