Qt Designer - how to make QTextEdit smaller than its sizeHint?

[novakk]

Hello,

What I want to do with Qt Designer is a simple form with buttons on the right side of the form, and a QTextEdit on the left side. The problem: How can I establish, that the initial Dialog looks like this:

The height of the QTextEdit is same like the height of the 3 buttons, and if the user resize the window, the 3 buttons remain in the right top corner, and the QTextEdit is growing downward.
Thanks:

Just use . Buttons should be in vertical layout with vertical spacer bottom-side. QTextEdit and layout with buttons place inside horizontal layout.

Thank you for your quick answer Oleg!
I have tried that configuration.
I modified the vertical sizeHint of spacer to zero, but the form will increase till the QTextEdit reaches its vertical sizeHint: 192.
I've tired to change size policies but I cannot solve this problem.
My result is:

Should I include the ui file to make my problem more clear?

Reset all policies and hints to enable proper auto size handling.
