QLabels not getting resizeEvent--how to invoke?

[davethomaspilot]

Here's the code that implements the resizeEvent method in the deriveed class, ScaleTextLabel:

void ScaleTextlabel::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
    qDebug() << "resizing";
    QLabel::resizeEvent(event);
    m_resizeTimer->start();
}

void ScaleTextlabel::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
{
    qDebug() << "resizing";
    QLabel::resizeEvent(event);
    m_resizeTimer->start();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

resizeEvent DOES get called, but not when the bars are hidden/shown.

Not sure how I'd do the experiment. You mean, just change the base class to QWidget but with nothing else? What would the experiment reveal?
