Take a look at "Layout Management":http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt/layout.html
and at "Using Layouts in Qt Designer":http://http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/designer-layouts.html -

bq. All QWidget subclasses can use layouts to manage their children. The QWidget::setLayout() function applies a layout to a widget. When a layout is set on a widget in this way, it takes charge of the following tasks:
- Positioning of child widgets.
- Sensible default sizes for windows.
- Sensible minimum sizes for windows.
- Resize handling.
- Automatic updates when contents change:
- Font size, text or other contents of child widgets.
- Hiding or showing a child widget.
- Removal of child widgets.
So, you can let Layout Manger do that, or you should override events of your main widget and change needed properties dynamically... Like "resizeEvent":http://doc.qt.digia.com/qt/qwidget.html#resizeEvent If you can show us an example of what you are doing and how the properties should be changed, maybe you will get more exact advice...
