MessageDialog setGeometry error. Need help.

skammers

Im trying to display a warning dialog when the user of the program tries to quit without having saved their latest editing. When the message dialog displays i get this warning in the console window: setGeometry: Attempt to set a size (354x87) violating the constraints(354x149 - 16777215x16777215) on window QQuickWindow/''.

I tried using width and height, and setWidth and setHeight but it wont work. I guess the setGeometry happens automatically when I open the window?

Do anyone know how to fix this problem?

You might want to set the sizehints minimum size. I appears you're trying to create a dialog that is too small, but you already figured it out.
The sizeHint tells how big the dialog may be when space is available.

I cant really get it to work. Like how do you use it?

This is my current code, which gives an error because minimumSizeHint() isnt a function for the message dialog, neither is sizeHint().

                else{
                    warningDialog.minimumSizeHint();
                    warningDialog.open();
                }

well, the code is not displayed like that, but yeah, you get the idea.

@ else{
warningDialog.minimumSizeHint();
warningDialog.open();
}

There you go.

Hmm, Sorry, that was QWidget function. That should not work indeed.
Did you create the dialog as a child of the mainwindow? By default the dialog should take a proper shape when it's a child.
Maybe show a bit more code, so we are able to fix it.

Yes, the dialog is a child of the main window.
This is the code for the dialog.

@
MessageDialog{
id: warningDialog;
icon: StandardIcon.Warning;

    title: qsTr("Warning!");
    text: qsTr("You have not saved your last translations.");
    standardButtons: StandardButton.Cancel | StandardButton.Discard |  StandardButton.Save;



    onAccepted: {
        if(app.savedAsBool){
            app.saved = true;
            masterResource.saveTranslation(saveAsFile.saveFileName);
            Qt.quit();
        }
        else if(app.madeList && !app.savedAsBool)
        {
            app.quitBool = true;
            app.saveAs();
        }
        else{
            noListDialog.open();
        }
    }

    onDiscard: Qt.quit();
    onRejected: console.log("Canceled");
