size of QPushButton

[eleanor]

Hi...

currently I'm using this code:

/* images - on buttons */
    close_icon = QIcon(":/close_image");
    send_icon = QIcon(":/send_image");
    ok_icon = QIcon(":/ok_image");
    notok_icon = QIcon(":/notok_image");
 
    /* buttons */
    send_button = new QPushButton(send_icon, "Send");
    send_button->setDisabled(true);
    quit_button = new QPushButton(close_icon, "Quit");
    attach_button = new QPushButton(ok_icon, "Attach more files");
    validate_button = new QPushButton(ok_icon, "Validate");
 
    /* buttons layout */
    button_layout = new QHBoxLayout();
    button_layout->addWidget(send_button);
    button_layout->addWidget(quit_button);
 
    /* validate layout */
    validate_layout = new QHBoxLayout();
    validate_layout->addWidget(attach_button);
    validate_layout->addWidget(validate_button);

/* images - on buttons */
    close_icon = QIcon(":/close_image");
    send_icon = QIcon(":/send_image");
    ok_icon = QIcon(":/ok_image");
    notok_icon = QIcon(":/notok_image");

    /* buttons */
    send_button = new QPushButton(send_icon, "Send");
    send_button->setDisabled(true);
    quit_button = new QPushButton(close_icon, "Quit");
    attach_button = new QPushButton(ok_icon, "Attach more files");
    validate_button = new QPushButton(ok_icon, "Validate");

    /* buttons layout */
    button_layout = new QHBoxLayout();
    button_layout->addWidget(send_button);
    button_layout->addWidget(quit_button);

    /* validate layout */
    validate_layout = new QHBoxLayout();
    validate_layout->addWidget(attach_button);
    validate_layout->addWidget(validate_button);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but if I resize the widget, the buttons are not resized with the widget (layout)... I want to resize buttons with application...so that they consume the whole space that is available.

Any ideas how to do that...thank you!

You must add validate_layout and button_layout to the Widget's Layout

That's what I did:

/* main layout */
    QVBoxLayout *main_layout = new QVBoxLayout();
    main_layout->addLayout(validate_layout);
    main_layout->addLayout(button_layout);
    this->setLayout(main_layout);

/* main layout */
    QVBoxLayout *main_layout = new QVBoxLayout();
    main_layout->addLayout(validate_layout);
    main_layout->addLayout(button_layout);
    this->setLayout(main_layout);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but the buttons are not as big as there is space available...they are normal small buttons. I'm sure there are some settings, just don't know which...any other ideas?

Ah, I got it:

setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);

setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
