All I meant was that any other part of your program could in theory change the font size, but the code above hard-codes values just once. > > It also means that the minimum size of the widget becomes > > fixed (10 * (height + (2 * margin))). > > That's not a problem, is it? Or could it be? That depends on what you want:-) The only problem is that if you allowed a *lot* of checkboxes and your user had a small screen, maybe the window would be too tall to fit. There are other possibilities; for example, you could start out with _no_ checkboxes and add them dynamically as needed; or you could use a QListView and add checkable QListViewItems; and no doubt there are other possibilities too... -- Mark Summerfield, Qtrac Ltd., www.qtrac.eu _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list [email protected] http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
