resizeEvent from parent to child?

[ChasW]

Actually, the widget within the frame is resizing with the frame.

What i didnt realize is that a maximize event was not a resizeEvent, so my test was invalid.

So what I am trying to do now is catch a maximize event so I can handle it.

I am trying this, but it doesnt seem to be working.

void COutput::changeEvent(QEvent* event)
{
    switch (event->type())
    {
        case QEvent::WindowStateChange:
        {
            qDebug() << "state change";
        }
        default:
            QWidget::changeEvent(event);
    }
}

void COutput::changeEvent(QEvent* event)
{
    switch (event->type())
    {
        case QEvent::WindowStateChange:
        {
            qDebug() << "state change";
        }
        default:
            QWidget::changeEvent(event);
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What am I doing wrong here?

p.s. thenagain, I am probably wrong to think I can catch such a window event within a widget.. which leaves me in somewhat of a quandry...
