Expanding lineEdit in QHBoxLayout is not working properly in qt plugins

[alizadeh91]

HI,
I've created a qt plugin with comboBox and lineEdit and put them in QHBoxLayout in Qt5. when i set sizepolicy of lineEdit to expanding, it doesn't works properly. actually it expands itself a little:

my code in plugin constructor is something like below:

comboBox = new QComboBox;
    lineEditValue = new QLineEdit;
 
    horizontalLayout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
    horizontalLayout->setMargin(1);
 
    comboBox->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred,QSizePolicy::Fixed);
    lineEditValue->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Fixed);
 
    horizontalLayout->addWidget(lineEditValue,0,Qt::AlignLeft);
    horizontalLayout->addWidget(comboBox,0,Qt::AlignRight);
 
    this->setLayout(horizontalLayout);

comboBox = new QComboBox;
    lineEditValue = new QLineEdit;

    horizontalLayout = new QHBoxLayout(this);
    horizontalLayout->setMargin(1);

    comboBox->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred,QSizePolicy::Fixed);
    lineEditValue->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Fixed);

    horizontalLayout->addWidget(lineEditValue,0,Qt::AlignLeft);
    horizontalLayout->addWidget(comboBox,0,Qt::AlignRight);

    this->setLayout(horizontalLayout);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

what i am missing?

Any hint?! mybe i have to use ui file instead of creating comboBox and lineEdit in code? Can i create them in ui file inside of plugin?!

Try this:
do not change the size policy of either widget, but use a stretch > 0 on the line edit

horizontalLayout->addWidget(lineEditValue, 1);

horizontalLayout->addWidget(lineEditValue, 1);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Cheers,

Maybe something is wrong when it is in a plugin?
