An alternative way would be to add a blank expanded row to bottom of the grid layout: packCfgOptionsGroupLayout->setRowStretch(5, 1); It might possibly be necessary to put something in the row to make this work (I can't remember) - in that case, do packCfgOptionsGroupLayout->addWidget(new QWidget(packCfgOptionsGroup), 5, 0, 1, 1); That has the disadvantage that if the group box shrinks, the row containing the invisible widget will still occupy some space. You may be able to add an extra layout to the QGridLayout instead of a widget, which would avoid that issue. -- David Jarvie. KDE developer.

Thank you for this hint.
Applying it as follows to a QLabel works fine:
initRunOutputLabel = new QLabel(i18nc("", "Output:"), initRun);
QSizePolicy *vexp = new QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Preferred,
QSizePolicy::Fixed);
initRunOutputLabel->setSizePolicy(vexp->horizontalPolicy(), vexp-
>verticalPolicy());
However, applying it to the KUrlRequester, does not work:
selectDestinationDir = new KUrlRequester(destinationDirGroup);
selectDestinationDir->setMode(KFile::Directory);
QSizePolicy *hexp = new QSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,
QSizePolicy::Preferred);
hexp->setHorizontalStretch(1);
hexp->setVerticalStretch(1);
selectDestinationDir->setSizePolicy(hexp->horizontalPolicy(), hexp-
>verticalPolicy());
selectDestinationDir->sizePolicy().setHorizontalStretch(hexp-
>horizontalStretch());
It is still not as wide as I wish.
The solution proposed by David works fine as well. Thank you for that.
Cheers

You could try using a QHBoxLayout covering the entire row in the
QGridLayout, and add the KUrlRequester to that, setting the 'stretch'
parameter to 1. Not sure if that will be any better than what you've
already tried.

The only reason it exists is for building the installers for Gpg4Win (http://gpg4win.org/), other builds should not enable it. regards Volker signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
