Infinite loop - resize parent from child

[bitChanger]

For this project i'm using Windows and Qt 4.1.2

I have a QMainWindow that contains a widget that occupies the entire window. When the resizeEvent of the child widget is called I want the child to maintain proportions. After fixing the width/height proportions of the child I need to resize the parent.

I've included a complete program that demonstrates the issue.

Here is the wrong solution, but what would be a good workaround for it?



void MyWidget::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
QSize newsz = event->size();

_figureHeight = newsz.width()*_figureHeight/_figureWidth;
_figureWidth = newsz.width();

parentWidget()->resize(_figureWidth, _figureHeight);
}

Here's your fish ;)

void MyWidget::resizeEvent( QResizeEvent *event )
{
const QSize size( event->size() );
const int height = size.height();
const int width = size.widgth();
if( ratioW * height == ratioH * width ) {
QWidget::resizeEvent( event );
}
else {
parentWidget()->resize( width, (ratioH * width) / ratioW );
}
}Although it will probably cease to work if you add a menu, status bar or toolbar to your main window.

Thank you.

I beleive that line 10 does not have to be divided by ratioW though.
Changing line 10 to the following seems right to me ??



parentWidget()->resize( width, ratioH * width);

It depends. In above code ratioW and ratioH can be integers. You can use doubles and then one of there variables can be 1.0 and thus omitted.
