Resize Widget To Desktop Size

[fruzzo]

Hi,
I've a question for you...Is there a simple way to resize my widget to desktop size?
I try this code but it seem don't work fine:

int width = QApplication:desktop()->width();
int height = QApplication:desktop()->height();
mainWindow->resize(width, height);

int width = QApplication:desktop()->width();
int height = QApplication:desktop()->height();
mainWindow->resize(width, height);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Infact if I try to get the window height:

int mwHeight = mainWindow->height();

int mwHeight = mainWindow->height();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

then mwHeight is less of QApplication:desktop()->height() (about 20 pixel)

Any idea?

And how I can call directly the maximixe button of the title bar to do the same resize by code?

Ok I've solved the problem using the showMaximized method.
It work fine only if insert before a resize:

mainWindow->resize(100,100);
mainWindow->showMaximized();

mainWindow->resize(100,100);
mainWindow->showMaximized();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Why?

For me it works with Qt 4 without any additional tricks:

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWidget window;
    window.showMaximized();
    return app.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWidget window;
    window.showMaximized();
    return app.exec();
}

I know...I try some examples like your code and they works fine.
However I'm working with Qt3.3.5 and window is a QMainWindow not a QWidget.
I want remove the resize because I've some problmes with it...so any idea how to resolve the question?

In that case it is highly probable that the bug is on your side. It's just hidden somewhere in a big and complex project. That's why it's always a good idea to put up together a minimal compilable test application reproducing the problem.

However I'm working with Qt3.3.5 and window is a QMainWindow not a QWidget.

Actually, QMainWindow IS A QWidget. And QWidget::showFullScreen() functionality is implemented in QWidget code. I doubt you can reproduce the problem with a plain QMainWindow either. If you can reproduce it with a QMainWindow subclass, then the problem might be in that subclass.

How can I catch the signal emitted when launch mw->showMaximized()? And a way to know when resize (after showMaximized()) is completed?
