resize it is because I want to adjust the default width of the form
based on how many other windows are currently open in the main
application and how big the monitor is. As a result, I won't know it's
geometry until after the application starts. The dock widget is hidden
until the user decides to open it. At the point it needs to know it's
size.
So when you say it's going to take the shape of the space it's docked
in, I had assumed that using the resize() function would propagate
upwards and instruct the containing frame to redraw. Is that not the case?
As far as going the other direction and resizing the containing frame,
which would then force a resize on the dock widget, I'm not sure how
to reference the containing frame since the parent object is the main
window.

Hi,
I'm trying to resize a DockWidget after the application has
started. I have tried all of the functions that I thought
would resize it:
self.ui.dockWidget.setGeometry(x,y,w,h)
self.ui.dockWidget.resize(w,h)
I tried with QSize and QGeometry as well. I also tried using
the adjustSize() and a couple of others to see if it changed.
I tried to call show() after to see if it would help, but
nothing seems to work.
It flickers momentarily at the new size and pops back, so it
looks like it's being properly resizes and then something
resets it back to the original size. Is this the correct way
to resize the dock widget, and what is causing it to
immediately change again?
Perhaps this is a silly question, but is it floating or is it
docked? If it's docked then it's going to take the shape of the
space in which it is docked. If it is docked, I am wondering why
you're trying to change it's shape.
