How can I get a child widget to resize its parent ?
-
I have a (seemingly) simple problem that I'm struggling to solve.
I want to have a (fixed size) image widget and a (variable length, single line) label widget inside a frame widget ... so far, so good.
But when I change the text of the label widget, I would like the parent frame to resize (up to a maximum) to accommodate the bigger / smaller label widget.
For the parent "frame" I've tried frame, grid, hbox ... none of which seem to do what I want.
If I have the label on its own (not as a child widget), it resizes as expected.
Can anyone tell me how (if at all) this can be achieved ?
Needless to say, I'm quite new to Qt, so I may be overlooking something trivial :)

@JonB Yes.
In the form designer, I made a grid layout with label child.
Resizing the grid layout, resizes the label, no problem.
But if I programmatically change the label text, the grid doesn't change size, which is the effect I'm after.
I'm guessing this is by design, so I was wondering if it's possible?
