widget not resized within QDockWidget

I added a new QDockWidget as all the other ones I already have. However this time the Widget is not resized within the QDockWidget, as if it had not layout.

It is created with this code:

Code:

dockAppMessages = new QDockWidget(this);
	dockAppMessages->setAllowedAreas(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea | Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea);
	widgetDockErrorMessageImpl = new widgetDockErrorMessage(dockAppMessages);
    dockAppMessages->setWidget(widgetDockPhaseShapesImpl);	
	dockAppMessages->setWindowTitle("Application Messages");
    addDockWidget(Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea , dockAppMessages);    
	menuView->addAction(dockAppMessages->toggleViewAction());

widgetDockErrorMessage, the widget displayed within QDockWidget has a Layout, set to Expanding.

The ui file is the following

Code:

void setupUi(QWidget *widgetDockErrorMessage)
    {
    if (widgetDockErrorMessage->objectName().isEmpty())
        widgetDockErrorMessage->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("widgetDockErrorMessage"));
    widgetDockErrorMessage->resize(499, 153);
    QSizePolicy sizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
    sizePolicy.setHorizontalStretch(0);
    sizePolicy.setVerticalStretch(0);
    sizePolicy.setHeightForWidth(widgetDockErrorMessage->sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth());
    widgetDockErrorMessage->setSizePolicy(sizePolicy);
    gridLayout = new QGridLayout(widgetDockErrorMessage);
    gridLayout->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("gridLayout"));
    ErrorList = new WidgetListStringStack(widgetDockErrorMessage);
    ErrorList->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("ErrorList"));
    sizePolicy.setHeightForWidth(ErrorList->sizePolicy().hasHeightForWidth());
    ErrorList->setSizePolicy(sizePolicy);
 
    gridLayout->addWidget(ErrorList, 0, 0, 1, 1);
 
    horizontalLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
    horizontalLayout->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("horizontalLayout"));
    horizontalSpacer = new QSpacerItem(40, 20, QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Minimum);
 
    horizontalLayout->addItem(horizontalSpacer);
 
    pushButtonClearList = new QPushButton(widgetDockErrorMessage);
    pushButtonClearList->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("pushButtonClearList"));
 
    horizontalLayout->addWidget(pushButtonClearList);
 
 
    gridLayout->addLayout(horizontalLayout, 1, 0, 1, 1);
 
 
    retranslateUi(widgetDockErrorMessage);
 
    QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName(widgetDockErrorMessage);
    } // setupUi

Any ideas?

The correct version of the above code is

Code:

widgetDockErrorMessageImpl = new widgetDockErrorMessage(dockAppMessages);
    dockAppMessages->setWidget(widgetDockErrorMessageImpl);

which makes the problem disappear...

Re: widget not resized within QDockWidget

Using a little bit more distinct variable names would've made the error visible. I still had to stare a few seconds the see what's the actual difference in your solution... :)
