Hi,

In an app I'm creating I have a dialog that pops up. I'd like to have the dialog be maximised to fill the whole screen, but I can't see how I go about doing that?

I've played around with the different "sizePolicy" settings, but none of these seem to make it fill to fit the screen. I thought that perhaps setting the policy to "Expanding/Expanding" would do the trick, but it seems not.

I'm launching the dialog by doing:



Can anyone give me an idea how I should be doing this?

Thanks,
Matt

I think I know what you are asking.

In the past when I have needed to do what you want I've used:

Does that help?

Hi,

Alternately in the dialog constructor, get the parent widgets size and resize accordingly
Allows you to make it slightly smaller than full screen (or any size you want.)

eg

DefDlg::DefDlg( QWidget* parent, const char* name, bool modal, WFlags fl )
: QDialog( parent, name, modal, fl )
{
if ( !name )
setName( "DefDlg" );
resize(parent->width() - 50, parent->height() - 50 );
// more stuff
}

regards
