I normally don't give up on things...but I'll be danged if I can get a GroupBox
around those widgets to behave they way it works with just the widgets.
The window should shrink vertically when hidden and the expand again when
shown.
It's probably my ignorance of GroupBoxes and Qt in general. But I find the
lack of consistency very frustrating.Seems to me.
#1 Cut widgets#2 Add GroupBox#3 Paste widgets into GroupBox
Then hide/show GroupBox just like the widgets were being done....no joy.
I wish Qt was smarter and you could just add a GroupBox around an existing set
of widgets for example. Or am I missing that capability somewhere?

Hi Mike, although I understand the reasoning for hiding some widgets, the way
this is implemented is not very sensible. In Qt widgets form a tree hierarchy
that allows control of sub-trees by content alone. If you create a QWidget just
to contain other widgets you can then simply hide or show the containing widget
instead of having to maintain a whole list of contained widgets. A widget need
not have any visible parts on screen i.e. it can simply be a container for
other widgets. The contained widgets do not just get their visibility from
their containing widget, most of the properties of widgets are inherited if
they are not set explicitly. This allows much simpler and lower maintenance UI
designs.
