I use QToolButton to open a menu, which is a simple QWidget. Inside this widget is a QTextEdit and a button. In the lower right corner is QSizeGrip, which I want to use to allow the user to resize the widget and therefore QTextEdit.
If I use this widget myself inside MainWindow (Option1), everything works as expected. If, however, I put this widget in the menu (Option2), I can no longer change it. Dragging and dropping QSizeGrip resizes the menu, but not the widget. I have already experimented with setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.SubWindow)and setSizePolicy(..)without any noticeable effect.
My question is: How to change the widget (along with TextEdit)?
Here is the code below the picture.
import sys
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class MyWidget(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(MyWidget, self).__init__(parent)
self.setLayout(QtGui.QVBoxLayout())
self.TextEdit = QtGui.QTextEdit()
self.Button = QtGui.QPushButton("Push")
self.UpdateWidget = QtGui.QWidget()
self.UpdateWidget.setLayout(QtGui.QHBoxLayout())
self.UpdateWidget.layout().addWidget(self.Button, 1)
self.UpdateWidget.layout().addWidget(QtGui.QSizeGrip(self), 0)
self.layout().addWidget(self.TextEdit)
self.layout().addWidget(self.UpdateWidget)
self.layout().setSpacing(0)
self.layout().setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0)
self.UpdateWidget.layout().setSpacing(4)
self.UpdateWidget.layout().setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0)
class ToolBar(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(ToolBar, self).__init__(parent)
self.setLayout(QtGui.QHBoxLayout())
self.Button = QtGui.QToolButton()
self.Button.setText("Open Text Editor")
self.Button.setPopupMode(QtGui.QToolButton.InstantPopup)
self.Button.setMenu(QtGui.QMenu(self.Button))
action = QtGui.QWidgetAction(self.Button)
action.setDefaultWidget(MyWidget())
self.Button.menu().addAction(action)
self.layout().addWidget(self.Button)
class App(QtGui.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(App, self).__init__(parent)
self.central = ToolBar()
self.setCentralWidget(self.central)
if __name__=='__main__':
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
thisapp = App()
thisapp.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
