Sizing items in Qt Quick 2.0

[rizoritis]

Hello,

I am trying to give a fixed size to PushButton and GroupBox while coding QML. I am finding that no matter what I put for "height: xx" or "width: xx", the item does not change size. Below is one example for the PushButton:

@ Button {
id: connectButton

        width: 100

        anchors.right: spacer2.left
        anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter

        text: qsTr("Connect")
    }@

Could anyone explain why I cannot define a fixed size for anything.

Thanks

Where does you Button come from? Without seeing it's implementation it is impossible to answer this question.

The following is the complete code:

@Rectangle {

height: 360

    anchors.fill: parent

    ToolBar {
        id: mainToolBar

        width: 60

        anchors.top: parent.top
        anchors.bottom: parent.bottom

        ColumnLayout {
            //height: parent.height
            //anchors.bottomMargin: 20
