[Qt-interest] How to remove size grip from a tool type window

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Everybody, 

In the attached image from Mac you can see a window with a disabled size grip. How can I stop the size grip being drawn at all? 

I've tried calling findChild<QSizeGrip *>(), but it returns 0.  I was hoping it would return something that I could then hide. 

In other tool windows that I have, the widget paints the entire surface, so the problem doesn't occur.  In this case, that is not an option, since this window has tool button children.  

The constructor uses: 

NotePalette::NotePalette(NotePaletteOptions &options,  QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent, Qt::Window | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint )

The window is constructed using a QDialog as parent. 

Alternatively, is there a way to override the paint event, fill the background, then draw just the tool button children, and not the size grip? 

Note: On Windows, the size grip seems to only appear on windows with a status bar. 

Thanks in advance, 

Tony.
