    Question How to resize a Mdi child?

    Hi,

    I have an application that uses mdi childs. This childs are defined in the UI as 800x600 but when I create a new child the application sets it to 264x489.. And I don't see how to change this in code. I can resize them with the mouse though.

    I tried resize(...) or setGeometry(...) but nothing works out.

    Any idea what I am missing?

    Thanks.

    If you want to set a minimum size, you can use setMinimumSize or setMinimumSizeHint.

    After much searching for an answer, and experimenting, I found this to work for me.

    Qt Code:
    1. child->parentWidget()->resize(900, 700);
    2. child->parentWidget()->updateGeometry();
    3. child->show();
    4. // child->showMaximized();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    You can use showMaximized() in place of show() and the (900, 700) will still be used if the window is later changed to normal.
