Is there a way to find when resize is done??

[rajji_saini]

Hi,

Is there any signal or a way to check when resize is complete for QWidget?
Actually I want to stop the drawing on my map control when it is being resized and then start it again once the resize is complete.

Regards,
Raj

Try reimplement QWidget::resizeEvent or using QObject::eventFilter.

When do you consider the resize "complete"?

You can do something like this, which stops the widget's layout from updating until there has been no resize event for a configurable time:


#include <QtGui>
#include <QDebug>

class LazyResizeWidget: public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
LazyResizeWidget(QWidget *p = 0): QWidget(p)
{
m_timer = new QTimer(this);
m_timer->setSingleShot(true);
connect(m_timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), SLOT(resizeStopped()));

// Just for example content
QFrame *f = new QFrame(this);
f->setFrameStyle(QFrame::Plain | QFrame::Box);
QVBoxLayout *l = new QVBoxLayout(this);
l->addWidget(f);
setLayout(l);
}

protected:
void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event)
{
QLayout *l = layout();
if (l) {
m_timer->start(StoppedTimeout);
l->setEnabled(false);
}
QWidget::resizeEvent(event);
}

private slots:
void resizeStopped()
{
QLayout *l = layout();
if (l) {
l->setEnabled(true);
l->update();
}
}

private:
enum { StoppedTimeout = 500 };
QTimer *m_timer;
};


int main(int argc, char**argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
LazyResizeWidget w;
w.resize(640, 480);
w.show();
return app.exec();
}

#include "main.moc"

Do you mean when the user is resizing the window (by dragging an edge or a corner)?

If so, and if the target platform is Windows, what you need are the WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632622(v=vs.85)) and WM_EXITSIZEMOVE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632623(v=vs.85)) messages. I don’t have a good opportunity to test right now, but if QWidget::winEvent gets those messages, you should be able to use them to do what you need.
