QTextBrowser help please!

[munna]

Hi

Please have a look at the following 2 pieces of code.

ExplainBrowser b;//QTextBrowser
b.setText(str);
//b.show();
int eHeight = b.contentsHeight();//wrong height
int eWidth = b.contentsWidth();//wrong width

ExplainBrowser b;//QTextBrowser
b.setText(str);
//b.show();
int eHeight = b.contentsHeight();//wrong height
int eWidth = b.contentsWidth();//wrong width

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

ExplainBrowser b;//QTextBrowser
b.setText(str);
b.show();
int eHeight = b.contentsHeight();//correct height
int eWidth = b.contentsWidth();//correct width

ExplainBrowser b;//QTextBrowser
b.setText(str);
b.show();
int eHeight = b.contentsHeight();//correct height
int eWidth = b.contentsWidth();//correct width

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is there a way by which I can the correct contentsHeight() and contentsWidth() without actually showing the widget?

Thanks a lot.

By the way I am using Qt 3.3.6

If so, then no At least not directly.

You could try calculating the height yourself for example using QSimpleRichText. But you have to know the width, font and other things associated with the widget. And you have to be prepared that the calculation may not be precise.
