shrink QDockWidget

[tuli]

Hey,

when i want to shrink a widget i usualy call resize(0,0), which works on normal widgets, but not for QDockWidget (floating or not).
Specifically, i have two QDockWidgets that are automatically docked onto the mainwindow:

addDockWidget(Qt::TopDockWidgetArea, a);
	splitDockWidget(a, b, Qt::Horizontal);

addDockWidget(Qt::TopDockWidgetArea, a);
	splitDockWidget(a, b, Qt::Horizontal);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Both of them can and will expand to any given size, but both also have a minimum size.
I'd now like to shrink QDockWidget a to occupy as little space as possible, thus allowing b to grow.

Calling

a->show();
a->resize(0,0);

a->show();
a->resize(0,0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

before or after the docking doesnt work.

Try resizing the QDockWidget content widget.

dw->widget()->resize(0, 0);

dw->widget()->resize(0, 0);
