making an application window non resizable

[aegis]

I have a QDialog that i would like to make non resisable...

how can i do it?

N.A

[jpn]

dialog->layout()->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);

[marcel]

Use either setFixedSize( sizeHint() ), or ( better ) QLayout::setSizeConstraint( QLayout::SetFixedSize ).

The later will allow resizing if system dimensions change ( font sizes, etc ).
But to use it, your layout design must have no errors.

what is the name of the layout?? i take the gui from qt designer, i have a grid layout.What is it's name?

[marcel]

It does not have a name.
You can access it via the layout() function, as jpn said.

[aegis]

dialog->layout()->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize);
if write this, i get this error "expected primary expression before '->' token


any ideas?

[wysota]

Substitute "dialog" with your variable containing a pointer to the dialog in question. And next time please use the search facilities before asking questions which you suspect may have already been answered.

You can call this from the constructor of your dialog:


layout()->setSizeConstraint( QLayout::SetFixedSize );

layout()->setSizeConstraint( QLayout::SetFixedSize );

the problem is that with this option, it compiles and then when i try to run it it throws a runtime exception:(

[jpn]

Sounds like layout() returns 0, which means you haven't installed a top level layout on the dialog. If you're using Designer, deselect all the child widgets, open up context menu over the background of the dialog form, select "Layout->...". In another words, a layout dragged from the widget box is not installed on the dialog but is a "floating layout".

[marcel]

What is the exception?
This most likely is because your layout design is not correct.
Do you have a layout set in your dialog at all?
What about setFixedSize( sizeHint() )?

Could you post some relevant code?

error 400 run time exception. I have done my layout design with qdesigner....how can it be wrong?

which part you want posted?



ippalosGui::ippalosGui(QWidget* parent):QDialog(parent),ippalos()
{
setupUi(this);
heapSort_RadioButton->setChecked(true);
sortingOptionsGroupBox->setVisible(false);
processButton->setEnabled(false);


//sortingOptionsGroupBox->hide();
//settingsGroupBox->hide();
settingsPushButton->setChecked(false);
//layout()->setSizeConstraint(QLayout::SetFixedSize); //making the dialog non-resizable by the user





createActions();
createMenu();
//lineEditEditedText->setText("Constructor...");


//all connects happen inside the cnstuctor...

//connect radio buttons... toggled()
connect(measureButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(doTakeMeasurements()));
//connect(processButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), processButton, SLOT(showMenu()));
connect(aboutButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(about()));

}

[aegis]

this is y ui file...

[marcel]

If you'd post the UI it would be better.
Also, where do you call layout()->setSizeConstraint?

[marcel]

OK.
You didn't set a top level layout as jpn said. That is why it gave you the exception.
Try the one I attached.
