This thread (qtforum.org) was the closest I came but that didn't tell the entire story for a QTD newbie:
The actual answer is to apply a layout to your dialog and set the resizeMode property to 'fixed'. This will handle any issues with fonts, i18n, etc.With the final post inluding:
Most people miss this (see above).
@ChickenbloodWell that post is from 2005 and the property is there now in Qt4. Great! :) Also I already had some layouts in my dialog (and a great feature they are too), so I just set the layoutSizeConstraint in one of those? No. Okay, all of them then? No. Create a single parent form layout chuck everything inside it and set it's size constraint? No.
Yes, you're right it works that way. Thanks for pointing that out again and again and again. I missed that
As you said, In QT3 designer, after you used Layout in a grid, you can find the resizeMode property and set it fixed there.
(2 other layout properties appear also in the dialog properties : LayoutSpacing and LayoutMargin)
In QT4 it is not available in the property editor when we make a Layout in a grid.(QT4.0.0)
So we need code to do it.
Meh!
Finally, the penny reaches escape velocity. You need to have the window selected;
Easy when you know how. Maybe I should just go read the documentation for once...but where is the fun in that ;o)
