One of the quirk with QT 4.5 is that in order to get your entire application to resize (all the elements within it), they have to be within a layout. However, the QT Designer won’t let you assign a layout to empty QWidgets, especially if they are inside the tab widget. So this is how I go about solving the problem.
- Add a vertical layout into each of the QWidget inside the tab. (You need this for the whole application to resize, anyway)
- Click on the QWidget (not in the hierarchy!), right click and add a Layout. By this time, the “no entry” icon next to that widget would disappear
- If you are dynamically adding widgets to the tab during run-time, you have to add to the vertical layout inside the QWidget of that tab.
If I have more time, I would put up a step by step tutoiral.
