    @tomy said in Sizes of windows in a simple program:

    Thanks to both of you.
    So the best way to set size is via the sizeHint() function, yeah?

    Previously I had a page on Docs in which there were the names of all functions plus the way they can be used. I can't find that page now. Do you use it please?

    sizeHint is usually the way to go.

    That page is still there:

    @J.Hilk
    Thanks so much.
    It's more than one hour I'm seeking that address on the Docs but failed to find it. I only find this. Sorry.
    Would you please tell me how you reached that address.

      Hi,

      Do you mean the QWidget documentation ?

        Yeah, thanks.
        How did you get to that point, I mean, the steps, please?
        Whatever I searched, I couldn't find the way.

        Updated
        I used this function to the code, but still no changes!

        windo->setMinimumSize(60, 20);
        

        The length of the window won't change!

          The easiest is to go to the "all C++ classes" page and search there.

            I even can't find such a phrase either. My bad (or bad Doc).
            From this point, what item do you click so that it takes you to "all C++ classes"?
            I think you don't mean All Qt C++ Classes.

              Look on the left side of the page. Under Reference.

                Sorry, there's no "all C++ classes" on my page but "All Qt C++ Classes", which doesn't go to this page.
                Still it's mysterious how you could get access to the last mentioned page from the homepage of Docs!

                  Yes it's "All Qt C++ Classes" that I meant. It's just the intermediate step to go further and find the widget you want using a class "CTRL+F" search on the web page.

                    I can't find the page J.Hilk showed by the image and need to use your link to that page. That's it; that's Docs.

                    Anyway, I used the setMinimumSize function, as shown above, to the code but still no changes!

                      @tomy Why don't you simply enter "QWidget" (or whatever you're looking for) in Google?

                        @tomy
                        you're using QtCreator right ? just write

                        QWidget w;
                        

                        place the curser inside the QWidget text block and press F1, you get the same page inside QtCreator you also get on the webpage

                        Otherwise here are the google coordinates:

                        • Search: QWidget
                        • Link Number: 1
                        • Link Text: QWidget Class | Qt Widgets 5.12 - Qt Documentation

                        to your question, 60;20 is super tiny have you tried it with something big, for example (200,200) to see a difference ?

                          I thought when we are on Docs, everything inside that would be reachable through obvious steps.

                          @J.Hilk

                          place the curser inside the QWidget text block and press F1

                          It's the best, at least for the point where I am now. I try using it rather than Docs web page from now on.

                          I needed length to be longer, hence:
                          window->setMinimumSize(200, 40);
                          Even this couldn't alter the length until 200 was replaced by 250.
                          Now it's fine.

                          Thanks to all of you.
