Dialog containing RowLayout not having correct window size

[topse]

Hi,
Sorry -- I really dont get it. Strong feeling of beeing dump :-/

I want to create a Dialog with QML containing a RowLayout but when showing the dialog, the window size is not corrent.

The Dialog looks like that (its the best result I got after several combinations with width, implicitWidth and Layout.fill):

Picture Here

import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.2
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.2

Dialog {
  id: kursDialog

  standardButtons: StandardButton.Cancel | StandardButton.Ok

  Item {
    id: item

    RowLayout {
      id: layout

      Text {
        id: label1
        text: "Name des Kurses: "
      }

      TextField {
        id: nameField
        placeholderText: "Name des Kurses"
      }
    }
  }
}

Can anyone give me a hint, what is going wrong here?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Tobias

Your Item has no width/height, so the Dialog might have trouble laying it out. You could get rid of the Item, or give it a size. This works for me:

Dialog {
        standardButtons: StandardButton.Cancel | StandardButton.Ok
        width: 300

        Item {
            width: childrenRect.width
            height: childrenRect.height

            RowLayout {
                Text { text: "Name des Kurses: " }
                TextField { placeholderText: "Name des Kurses" }
            }
 }

Ahhh... its getting better. Still a little problem, see picture:

The TextEdit is not completly fit in the window... you know, why?

Thanks again :-/

Did you provide a width for the Dialog as I did in my code?

[topse]

No I didnt... sorry. But: Why do I have to? Manual says, that Dialog will figure out the size of the children by itself?

[xargs1]

Manual says, that Dialog will figure out the size of the children by itself?

But it doesn't say that; it says it will attempt to size itself. From my experiences, it often fails.

OK. But I think then I may have a problem: The application will run on Windows and Android. I think, on both OS'ses the sizes of the Text and the TextField will be very different, because Android will use larger a Font. Do you have such a use-case?
