[Interest] QSplitter + QScrollArea + QWidgetStack issues

[Scott Aron Bloom]

I have a dialogbox, with a vertical QSplitter as the top level layout..
on the left goes a QTreeWidget, on the right a QScrollArea
Inside the QScrollArea, there is a QWidgetStack in which multiple widgets are stacked.

Here is my problem, when it first comes up, I want the right hand side, to work as if the scroll area was not there.  Essential, just the stacked widget.  The user can then minimize and see the scroll bars.

I was hoping to use
scrollArea->maximumViewportSize(), but its not correct (too small).

Its laid out with Designer, so I don't believe it's a layout issue.. It works fine, except for the initial size.

To "kind" of get it to work, I go over each widget in the stacked widget, get the minimumSizeHint, I compute the largest combination of them.  Then I pad for the splitter width + the calculated minimum size of the tree.  Then I pad for the other widgets (a dialog button box outside the splitter etc etc)

But I just have to think, there should be some function somewhere, that I can call on a QScrollArea and say, find me an area that has no scroll bars, and use that as your initial size, and expand your parent widget.

Thanks in advance..

Scott
