Hello, I am writing an application (a songbook). In one of the parts, I have a custom widget, that displays some information in lines. One line looks like this
QLabel (with fixed size) QPushButton QPushButton .... an instance looks like Genre: Rock Folk Metal (genre = label, Rock = first button, ..) I'd like to find appropriate songs when user clicks e.g. Rock) This panel is embedded in a widget whose size determined by user (by splitter). Because sometimes, there are a lot of genres for a song, the panel gets too big and it results in resize that changes the user-defined size. I've come up with a solution: if there are more than 3 buttons (genres) I merge the rest into a button with pop-up menu. This looks nice, but I'd like to base the merging on size of the genre buttons rather that on their number. (because sometimes the number is large, but the genres themself are short) I've come up with another solution, which I do not like at all: Create the buttons, catch the parent's resize event (if any) and merge the buttons afterwards. The question is: is there a way in which I can tell how big the buttons will be without having to create them in the first place? Or any other hints? Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Determine-size-of-a-button-tp32648218p32648218.html Sent from the PyQt mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
