Sizes of windows in a simple program

[tomy]

Thanks to both of you.
So the best way to set size is via the sizeHint() function, yeah?

Previously I had a page on Docs in which there were the names of all functions plus the way they can be used. I can't find that page now. Do you use it please?

sizeHint is usually the way to go.

That page is still there:

@J.Hilk
Thanks so much.
It's more than one hour I'm seeking that address on the Docs but failed to find it. I only find this. Sorry.
Would you please tell me how you reached that address.

Hi,

Do you mean the QWidget documentation ?

[tomy]

@SGaist
Yeah, thanks.
How did you get to that point, I mean, the steps, please?
Whatever I searched, I couldn't find the way.

Updated
I used this function to the code, but still no changes!

windo->setMinimumSize(60, 20);

The length of the window won't change!

[SGaist]

The easiest is to go to the "all C++ classes" page and search there.

@SGaist
I even can't find such a phrase either. My bad (or bad Doc).
From this point, what item do you click so that it takes you to "all C++ classes"?
I think you don't mean All Qt C++ Classes.

[SGaist]

Look on the left side of the page. Under Reference.

@SGaist
Sorry, there's no "all C++ classes" on my page but "All Qt C++ Classes", which doesn't go to this page.
Still it's mysterious how you could get access to the last mentioned page from the homepage of Docs!

[SGaist]

Yes it's "All Qt C++ Classes" that I meant. It's just the intermediate step to go further and find the widget you want using a class "CTRL+F" search on the web page.

[tomy]

I can't find the page J.Hilk showed by the image and need to use your link to that page. That's it; that's Docs.

Anyway, I used the setMinimumSize function, as shown above, to the code but still no changes!

@tomy Why don't you simply enter "QWidget" (or whatever you're looking for) in Google?

[J.Hilk]

@tomy
you're using QtCreator right ? just write

QWidget w;

place the curser inside the QWidget text block and press F1, you get the same page inside QtCreator you also get on the webpage

Otherwise here are the google coordinates:

• Search: QWidget
• Link Number: 1
• Link Text: QWidget Class | Qt Widgets 5.12 - Qt Documentation

to your question, 60;20 is super tiny have you tried it with something big, for example (200,200) to see a difference ?

@jsulm
I thought when we are on Docs, everything inside that would be reachable through obvious steps.

@J.Hilk

place the curser inside the QWidget text block and press F1

It's the best, at least for the point where I am now. I try using it rather than Docs web page from now on.

I needed length to be longer, hence:
window->setMinimumSize(200, 40);
Even this couldn't alter the length until 200 was replaced by 250.
Now it's fine.

Thanks to all of you.
