QTextEdit preferred height

[darksaga]

Hi all,

maybe I'm blind, but I didn't find any way to set the preferred height of a QTextEdit?

what I'm trying to do:

QDockWidget m_dockLog = new QDockWidget("", this);
m_dockLog->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea | Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea);
 
QTabWidget m_logTabWidget = new QTabWidget(m_dockLog);
m_logTabWidget->setTabPosition(QTabWidget::South);
 
QTextEdit m_textEditLog = new QTextEdit(m_logTabWidget);
 
m_logTabWidget->addTab(m_textEditLog, "");
m_dockLog->setWidget(m_logTabWidget);

QDockWidget m_dockLog = new QDockWidget("", this);
m_dockLog->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea | Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea);

QTabWidget m_logTabWidget = new QTabWidget(m_dockLog);
m_logTabWidget->setTabPosition(QTabWidget::South);

QTextEdit m_textEditLog = new QTextEdit(m_logTabWidget);

m_logTabWidget->addTab(m_textEditLog, "");
m_dockLog->setWidget(m_logTabWidget);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I tried to set the preferred height using:

m_textEditLog->resize(QSize(m_textEditLog->width(),100));

m_textEditLog->resize(QSize(m_textEditLog->width(),100));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but this does nothing.

using

m_textEditLog->setMaximumHeight(100);

m_textEditLog->setMaximumHeight(100);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

also doesn't solve the prob, coz then the Textedits height won't change when you change the height of the QDockWidget.

hope somebody knows a solution...

found a solution for my prob, after i've read a thread about QDockWidget and resizing .

subclassing QDockWidget & setting a appropriate minimum sizeHint solves the prob:

#ifndef MYDOCKWIDGET_H
#define MYDOCKWIDGET_H
class MyDockWidget : public QDockWidget
{
	public:
		MyDockWidget(const QString &title, QWidget *parent = 0, Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0)
		:QDockWidget(title,parent, flags)
		{
			setWindowTitle(title);
			setAllowedAreas(Qt::AllDockWidgetAreas);
			szHint = QSize(-1, -1);    //initial size
			minSzHint = QSize(100, 100);  //minimum size
		}
 
		virtual QSize sizeHint() const
		{
			return szHint;
		}
 
		virtual QSize minimumSizeHint() const
		{
			return minSzHint;
		}
 
	private:
		QSize szHint, minSzHint;
};
#endif

#ifndef MYDOCKWIDGET_H
#define MYDOCKWIDGET_H
class MyDockWidget : public QDockWidget
{
	public:
		MyDockWidget(const QString &title, QWidget *parent = 0, Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0)
		:QDockWidget(title,parent, flags)
		{
			setWindowTitle(title);
			setAllowedAreas(Qt::AllDockWidgetAreas);
			szHint = QSize(-1, -1);    //initial size
			minSzHint = QSize(100, 100);  //minimum size
		}

		virtual QSize sizeHint() const
		{
			return szHint;
		}

		virtual QSize minimumSizeHint() const
		{
			return minSzHint;
		}

	private:
		QSize szHint, minSzHint;
};
#endif
