QSizeGrip Class Reference
^{[QtGui module]}

Detailed Description

The QSizeGrip class provides a corner-grip for resizing a top-level window.

This widget works like the standard Windows resize handle. In the X11 version this resize handle generally works differently from the one provided by the system; we hope to reduce this difference in the future.

Put this widget anywhere in a widget tree and the user can use it to resize the top-level window. Generally, this should be in the lower right-hand corner. Note that QStatusBar already uses this widget, so if you have a status bar (e.g. you are using QMainWindow), then you don't need to use this widget explicitly.

On some platforms the sizegrip automatically hides itself when the window is shown full screen or maximised.

A size grip widget at the bottom-right corner of a main window, shown in the Plastique widget style.

The QSizeGrip class inherits QWidget and reimplements the mousePressEvent() and mouseMoveEvent() functions to feature the resize functionality, and the paintEvent() function to render the sizegrip widget.

See also QStatusBar and QWidget::windowState().
