Appropriate resizing of QT dialogs and such, Suggestions on how to make this work? Options

[vanstrien]

Hope this isn't too much of a newbie QT question...

On all my dialog boxes based on QDialog, QMessageBox or QWidget I have a fairly consistent problem with incorrect resizing of the windows. Essentially if I design a window Designer which looks just fine, when I then compile and run the app with the window for an 860 some of the text or other objects are obscured. Essentially the window is not resizing/expanding in response to different size fonts, etc.

Of course if I resize the window in Designer to fit well to the 860, then it looks way too big on a 5500. What am I missing to make the whole window automatically resize as needed?

I use vertica and horizontal layouts extensively. I have also tried extra calls to resize() and have reimplemented it to handle some specific requirements.
