size of Mainwindow Shrinks when i call it from a Dialog

[ranjit.kadam]

Hello Friends ,I have written the code to call a mainwindow from a dialog on pushbutton click as below

void Dialog1::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
         MainWindow *b=new MainWindow;
         b->showMaximized();
     }

void Dialog1::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
         MainWindow *b=new MainWindow;
         b->showMaximized();
     }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and i can go to the mainwindow but the size (layout) is changing,I dont know how to solve this,so please help me out


regards
ranjit

Not sure what you want to achieve but if you want to show the widget in full-screen mode, you can instead use:

b->showFullScreen();

b->showFullScreen();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

so please help me out

Sure. It is self-evident that if you resize a window that its size and layout will change, so a literal reading of what you wrote is clearly not a description of a problem. Try to provide sufficient information so that someone who cannot see your screen, and has no idea what your layouts contain, has more than a vague idea what you mean by "i can go to the mainwindow but the size (layout) is changing".

the maindialog which i am calling contains a text box and button,and when i call it through a dialog,it gets open but layout changes,if the same thing if i did with dialog the layout wont change..

What do you mean by the layout changes?

[ranjit.kadam]

it becomes small,i.e the textbox and pushbutton become small

Post the actual code that constructs your main window. Clearly that is broken badly
