Resizing qt widgets when their children are hidden

Question

I have the situation in the following image:

How would I go about resizing the widget when the retry child is hidden so that it looks as in the first image? The main layout is a QVBoxLayout, the retry child is a widget with a QVBoxLayout as well.

I've tried the following:

• update()
• updateGeometry()
• setGeometry(childrenRect())
• layout()->activate()

on the main widget as soon as I've set the retry widget to hidden. Do I need to intercept some event to do this?

Answer 1

The adjustSize function may do what you want.
