QTextEdit resizing

[olexayko]

How do i make textedit field occupy as much place as much text occupies?

When text bounds is bigger than textedit, scrollbar appears, but i want it to resize to fit whole text without vertical scrollbar appearing instead. i implemented such a crutch:

ui->textEdit->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred, QSizePolicy::Fixed);
    if (ui->textEdit->verticalScrollBar()->isHidden())
    {
        qDebug() << "no scrollbar";
    }
    else
    {
        while(ui->textEdit->verticalScrollBar()->isVisible())
        {
            ui->textEdit->setFixedHeight(ui->textEdit->height() + 1);
        }
    }

but it doesnt help, when text block is smaller than actual size of QTextEdit; also, when I perform this function on QTextEdit placed into vertical layout, it begins overlap other widgets, no matter I call after verticalLayout update() and invalidate() methods.

I have played a lot with sizePolicy, still no result. Looking for an advice, if someone can provide minimal running example, it would be great.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

One thing you can do is get the size of the underlying QTextDocument and modify the size of your QTextEdit accordingly.
