qsplitter children sizes

@jsulm
what about splitter then?

[mrjj]

Hi
You could just use designer
and then take the c++ code.
Code is in setupUI()

[user4592357]

@mrjj
i tried to do that but i need to lay them out vertically which gives the same result as writing the code

[mrjj]

@user4592357
Hi
Im not sure what goes wrong. the concept seems to work.
do u have mutiple widgets pr side in splitter of what is difference to the mini test?

[user4592357]

@mrjj
i create one tall widget at top and one short widget at bottom. then i select lay out vertically in splitter.
and both get smaller size:

after laying out:

[mrjj]

@user4592357
Hi
yes, the Splitter adjust a bit to the sizehints of the widgets if no min/max is set.
So the issue is that they become smaller when inserted into splitter ?

[user4592357]

@mrjj
now yes,
with code the only first one became taller

[mrjj]

@user4592357
but do you set min/max on them or how do you control size ?

[user4592357]

@mrjj
i set min and max sizes to the same value and got this after puttting in splitter:

widgets got narrower.

[mrjj]

@user4592357
you set the min/max on the widgets?
it works here.

[user4592357]

@mrjj
yeah i've set the sizes to the widgets

vertical layout works, but not vertical splitter

[mrjj]

@user4592357
Do you also try to make them less wide than the width of the Splitter ?
I tried some values of max HEIGHT and it seems to like it just fine.

You should NOT set maximum width as it will change the splitter.

[user4592357]

@mrjj
yeah i got it.

but when if i don't set max height on second widget (or set a large value), it occupies more height than i need

[mrjj]

Ok. but if no max height, it will try to use all space.
You can also use vertical stretch to say top gets X % of space, lower get rest
but im not sure how you want it distributed.

[user4592357]

@mrjj
i want like 80/20. but only value that makes a diff is 1. bigger values don't change anything

[mrjj]

@user4592357
Ok, vertical stretch can do that.
just set top to 8 and lower to 2 ( and no max height)

[user4592357]

@mrjj
that did it.

but in this case i lose the functionality of splitter (widgets occupy fixed space), right?

[mrjj]

@user4592357
it cant both share with stretch and have fixed size.
But then again , it can to some degree yes, as not to become bigger / smaller but
since it would be a concrete value it would not work in all cases.
Like maximize window.

[user4592357]

@mrjj
okay, i see.
