Resizing widget in a gridlayout

webmaster.skelton

Ok this may be a stupid question, but I cannot seem to be able to change the size of a widget in a given layout. When i set the max and min height and width it has no affect to what is drawn.

here is some code:

// the function that actually creates a txtbox
@QTextEdit* TextBoxFactory::createTxtBox_GenericLargeTxtBox(const int &height, const int &width,const QString &id,const QString &styleSheet)
{

QTextEdit *text = new QTextEdit;

QString *instanceStringLarge = new QString;

text->setMaximumHeight(height);

text->setMinimumHeight(height);

text->setMaximumWidth(width);

text->setMinimumWidth(width);

text->selectAll();

text->setStyleSheet(styleSheet);

text->setObjectName(id+"_"+instanceStringLarge->setNum((TextBoxFactory::nextInstance)));



TextBoxFactory::nextInstanceLarge++;



return text;

}
@

the function call that creates it:

@ gridLayout->addWidget(TextBoxFactory::GetInstance()->createTxtBox_GenericLargeTxtBox(19,50,"txt_Medication_Dosage",NULL),
3,1,Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignBottom);@

no matter what i try, the widget simply fills the size of the row.

is there a way to keep this from happening. I basically want to have two widgets reside within the same row without overlapping each other.
thanks

NeverMind, I figured it out( fyi the code above is not the function to which i was having issue, i posted the wrong one)
