How to fix the boundary..??

[deepusrp]

Helo sir,

1. I want to fix up the boundary of my application(outer form) so that no one can change the horizontal or vertical size. How can i do that.

2. I have used the default dialog while creating my project, it gives option to have the toolbar item. At that time i have coosen only few items. Can i add some more toolbar item. If so how. (I dont want to redo the entire design now)

A piece of code will help me a lot...

Thanks a lot :)

1. Use setFixedSize( sizeHint() ), or layout()->setSizeConstraint( QLayout::SetFixedSize ) ( but this only if you have a valid layout set in your main window ).

2. Do you want to add items to your existing toolbar or add a new toolbar?
Adding a toolbar can be done with QAminWindow::addToolbar() and adding items can be done easily if you have the instance of the existing toolbar( I guess you should be able to get it from the UI ).

For code snippets and detailed description you can look at the above functions in Qt Assistant.

Well, how did you add your existing toolbar items in the first place?
Could wee see the code?

I got the Initial toolbar when i first started my new project using the default dialog.

which file do u need...??

Thanks

[marcel]

The one in which you add the toolbar items :).
And the UI file.

Guys, he is using Qt3 and not Qt4 so stop giving him hints related to Qt4 :)

Set the resize mode of the layout to QLayout::Fixed (it can be done from within Designer (although I'm not sure you can do that for QMainWindow) or using hand written code).

Did you use Designer for that? If so, then reopen the form and drag actions from the action editor to the toolbar where you can drop them.

:) I guess I missed that little detail...

Sorry, I didnt see that

I tried that one, but it didn't work. No problem as i took a piece of code from an existing file(somefile.ui) and pasted in my .ui file, its working fine.

But can u please tell me exactly which property i have to change ant to what value in the designer so as to get the fixed boundry. I am not using any layouts explicitly. Is it by default Qt creates a layout for an application.

Thanks a lot :)

Meaning? You couldn't drag, couldn't drop or drop didn't do anything?

I think I already said that. The property is called "resizeMode" and the value is "Fixed". If it doesn't work for a QMainWindow, you'll have to do it from within code on your central widget layout (for example from within init() or subclass constructor). You can also set the size policy of the central widget (from within code) to Fixed, but results will be a bit different.

I was able to drag, but was not able to drop.

What did you try to drop it on?

[deepusrp]

Helo sir,

Actually i got what exactly i wanted. I was asking that bucause when i tried to resize using the border the border was covering the widgets. so i wasasking. now i grouped those widgets. Its working fine..

Thanks for all those have helped me.

Hmm.... what does it have to do with the toolbar?

Hmm.... what does it have to do with the toolbar?

I told that day itself, I copied the contents from an existing project and modified that to mine and its working.

Initially when i created the ui using the dialog option, i gave only filenew, file open, and file save as toolbar elements. When i tried to add edit menu items, i was unable to drag and drop from edit menu. So i asked. Then i saw the code of some existing project, i copied the code and pasted in my some.ui; it worked!!!

You should drag from the action editor, not the menu in the form!

The action editor is depicted on the bottom of this page:

OOPS..!!! :rolleyes:

I didn't know that... Some one told me that so i tried...

Thanks a lot for guiding.... The project now is at the final stage... Thanks for all who has guided me.
