sometimes qt was ended forcefully, weird.

As @J-Hilk already told you 4 days ago - don't create an eventloop in a resize event!

@Christian-Ehrlicher
thanks, i am not 100% sure about that answer, but i will try another solution. now the question is, where do i get the size of centralwidget automatically when QMainWindows is in fullscreen (showFullScreen() in c'tor)? i tried showEvent and C'tor but failed to get the right size.

I admit I have not tried it but I would have expected it in showEvent() as we discussed earlier. Could you show where you put what code for that?

Christian Ehrlicher

I still don't understand the need to know the size of a widget at all - your code you showed us doesn't do anything with it. Use layouts...

@JonB
qDebug to print the line and ui->centralwidget->width()

@Christian-Ehrlicher
well, i am supposed to do some complicated drawings as the background based on the size of centralwidget, there maybe several different solutions and i never use layouts before. those code was migrated from windows.

Can you show just the few lines of code where you do this? What method it's in and where you do it.

You can't draw on a widget outside the paintEvent()...

void MainWindow::showEvent(QShowEvent * event)
{
    QMainWindow::showEvent(event);
    qDebug() << "w: " << ui->centralwidget->width() << "h: " << ui->centralwidget->height();
}

maybe paintEvent() is a better way, but i'm using eventFilter() instead (i am new to qt), more specifically, most of drawings are in the memory, such as qpixmap, qpainterpath, and they are working fine.

But not in your example you show above - there you do a lot of stuff which doesn't belong to a resize (or paint)Event. I gave you a lot of examples on how to change it. Giving up.
