The window should shrink vertically when hidden and the expand again

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,
a GroupBox is probably not what you want, they have a boundary line,
they define an exclusive group of radio buttons and a title. Have you
tried using a basic QWidget (Widget in Designer) as a container?
Make sure your container is controlled by a layout that allows it to
shrink when hidden and don't apply any fixed size constraints. A minimum
expanding policy for both vertical and horizontal should allow it to
shrink. I don't recall if the layout within a QWidget (the one that will
control the layout of the contained widgets) will need any tweaking but
in general, don't use fixed size policies or sizes. You can delete any
size or policy in Designer in the object property viewer. Anything bold
has a non-default value that will not inherit from above, reset it with
little red arrow on the right of the selected property unless you really
need it.
