proper resize of preferences dlg

i have an app with a preferences dialog. since i used the example code from kdevelop the preferences dlg itself is hardcoded (no ui file) and every page is its own ui file. the problem is that the preferences dlg doesnt resize to fit the pages content.... here's my code:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

QFrame *frame;
    frame = addPage(i18n("Main"), i18n("General Settings"), IconLoader.loadIcon((QString)"../../beastie.xpm", KIcon::NoGroup));
   
    m_pageOne = new KPortsPrefPageOne(frame);

    frame = addPage(i18n("Appearance"), i18n("Display-Settings"),IconLoader.loadIcon((QString)"looknfeel", KIcon::NoGroup));
    frame->setFrameRect(frame->contentsRect());

    m_pageTwo = new KPortsPrefPageTwo(frame);


i've tried stuff like setsizepolicy, but it wont help. only thing that has worked yet is setfixedsize but thats not a real solution!
thanks for help

Have you set any layouts for that dialog?

You could check if frame has a layout after it is returned by addPage and if yes, add your widget to the layout and if not, create a layout and add your widget.

However you should also have a look at the KConfigXT tutorial

If you have it exactly like this the layout will be deleted at constructor end (created on stack)
