[Interest] QTextEdit not resizing with QFormLayout

[Sujan Dasmahapatra]

//mainwindow.h

QWidget *widget;

QPushButton *button;

QTextEdit *edit1;

QFormLayout *formL;

 

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent):QMainWindow(parent)

{

    setGeometry(0,0,800,600);

 

    widget = new QWidget(this);

    widget->resize(size());

 

    button = new QPushButton("Click me!!",widget);

    button->setGeometry(5,5,100,25);

    button->setFixedSize(100,25);

    button->show();

 

    edit1 = new QTextEdit(widget);

    edit1->setGeometry(5,35,widget->width()-10, widget->height()-40);

    edit1->show();

 

    formL = new QFormLayout(widget);

    formL->addWidget(button);

    formL->addWidget(edit1);

    widget->setLayout(formL);

    widget->show();

}

 

With this code, my  textedit(edit1) is not moving vertically, although
it's moving horizontally when resizing the mainwindow.  Edit1's initial
height is also less. I want the initial height of the edit should be 5
unit less from the bottom and 35 units less from the top as there's a
pushbutton for 25 units at the top. And edit1 should also resize
vertically.

 

Pushbutton is working fine I have set it to be fixed size so it is ok.
Edit1 should be resizing according to the mainwindow both vertically and
horizontally.

Use layouts, not absolute positioning. Read the docs about it.
