I already found out that you can set the orientation with a call to 'setOrientation(Qt.Vertical)'. That solves my problem for now. But while I was searching for a solution I found the following: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qdialog-obsolete.html. There they state that my solution is obsolete and "we strongly advise against using them in new code". But the new method they propose, i.e. simply hide or show the widgets, will not resize my dialog properly (it will only grow and not shrink). I played around with this for a while but couldn't get it to working. Has anybody done it using this new method. Does it shrink properly again? How do you do it?
