Forcing two widgets to the same size

[dsandber]

I have three widgets laid out using an HBoxLayout:

A B C

I want B to expand to take up all available room, and A and C to take up minimal room.

This is easy so far. I am stuck trying to get so that A and C are always the same width, thereby keeping B centered on the screen.

I've played around adding springs all over the place, but am not coming up with the answer. Any ideas? The issue is that A and C have different minimum sizes, so that B always ends up lop-sided.

Thanks,

Use a QGridLayout and set for the middle widget, the one you want to be larger, a column spacing of 2, and for the margin widgets a default column spacing (1).

Wouldn't I then have to hard-code A's minimize-size to be the same as C's actual minimize size?

Also, can this be done with Qt Jambi? I don't see any column space or column stretch options for the GridLayout in Qt Jambi.

FYI, for anyone considering Qt Jambi, I think it is FAR from being release quality. The amount of time I've spent uninstalling it and reinstalling it, renaming .ui files to .jui files, messing with environment variables, changing OLE registration scripts, and fighting against the Eclipse integration has been absolutely incredible. I'm sure it'll be good eventually, but it really should still be in beta.

Take a look at sizePolicy property. It has a horizontalStretch and verticalStretch attributes. If you make sure that respective stretches from both widgets are the same, widgets will always have the same sizes (in horizontal or vertical directions respectively).
