I want to be able to set the minimum size for a container widget without ignoring the minimum sizes of the children. ie I want to constrain the minimum size of the container, not override it. Is this possible?

Here's what I mean. Let's say I have a QFrame with a QVBoxLayout containing a couple of widgets, for example QRadioButton. I want this QFrame to be a particular size, no smaller (it looks silly), big enough to contain the child widgets, but no bigger. The size policies on the frame and radio buttons are all minimum.

If I set the minimumSize property on the QFrame, I get the minimum size I requested - but now the QFrame ignores the minimum sizes of the children, so if the children require more room they are clipped. For example if the user is using 150% font scaling in Windows...

Examples: no minimum size, with a minimum size set, with the minimum size set but larger fonts...




If I were writing a custom widget then overriding sizeHint()/minimumSizeHint() might help, but I want to do this in Qt Designer/Creator using the standard container widgets. Is it possible?
