sizeHint on QDialog is setting minimum size

[lrb]

I'm trying to get a QDialog subclass to open at a default size but be resizable smaller.
When I implement sizeHint() to return e.g. QSize(400, 300), the dialog opens at the correct size but then can't be resized smaller, only larger.
If I remove the sizeHint method the dialog opens at the smallest possible size (50, 50) and can be resized no problem.
I tried also implementing minimumSizeHint to return (50, 50) but no effect.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What if you just call resize(400, 300) in the dialog's constructor?

If it is not resizing smaller than the size hint, that sounds to me like you have a Minimum size policy. Did you modify the size policy in your subclass (or in Designer)? You're not calling setMinimumSize() anywhere?
