Resizable QWidget at the border
-
I want to try and make a QWidget that can be resized at the borders, just like a regular window. This means I don't want QSizeGrip , and QDockerWidget doesn't look ideal either - I don't want to be able to "detach" the widget.
Does QT provide the ability for this in any way? Where I hover my mouse over the border and the mouse changes appropriately.
Answering that I must do this manually is fine, I just want to confirm this before I begin my adventure to do so in the latest versions.

@SGaist I don't think so. Correct me if I'm wrong but this just allows the splitting of widgets inside this parent widget right?
What I want is one single widget such that whenever the mouse hovers over the border, I can then click and drag, to resize from any side of it - just like a traditional window.

Your widget should be a toplevel widget with window decoration then?! Like
QMainWindow?
Because when your widget is part of some other layout, the layout and other widgets will limit the movement and expansion.Does your widget have
Qt::FramelessWindowHintset?
If so, you might wanna look at this topic here -

Actually this is exactly what I want. I don't want something like QMainWindow that isn't bounded, I want it to be bounded inside its parent (QMainWindow) in my case.
Sounding like there might be no QT magic to get such a thing working? I.e. it must be done manually by handling various events.
