First off, using setFixedSize() is going to do exactly what it says, which is to lock your widget to one size. This means that the parent widget now has all that empty space when it resizes large than the fixed size of that child widget. You obviously don't want that effect. In your screenshot, are we looking at the result of a floating standalone window, or is this the widget docked into Maya's layout? If its docked into Maya's layout, then shouldn't it expand to the size of the dock widget? And if its a standalone window, shouldn't it expand to the bounds of the parent window? It isn't clear to me what you want to do with that extra space of the container. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/11579ffc-d7e2-4716-a70b-80e6dd6457a6%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/python_inside_maya/11579ffc-d7e2-4716-a70b-80e6dd6457a6%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
