I'm having a Qt application with a main window that has five buttons aligned in a vertical order.
They all have the same size.
All I want to do is to increase the font size of the button label when the app goes fullscreen.
I would really appreciate a solution that does not need too much code ... was hoping that this was something that could be done in Qt Designer, but I couldn't find a way how to.
Any suggestions?
Best,

I can't think of any way to do it in designer, but it's really not too much code. Here's a quick-and-dirty proof of concept. You'd want to take into account margins (using QStyle::pixelMetrics
and the like), but you get the idea.
#include <QtGui>
class FontAdjustingButton : public QPushButton {
public:
explicit FontAdjustingButton(QWidget *parent = NULL) : QPushButton(parent) {
setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
}
protected:
void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event) {
int button_margin = style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_ButtonMargin);
QFont f = font();
f.setPixelSize(event->size().height() - button_margin * 2);
setFont(f);
}
};
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QWidget w;
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
FontAdjustingButton *btn = new FontAdjustingButton;
btn->setText(QString("Hello, world %1").arg(i));
layout->addWidget(btn);
}
w.setLayout(layout);
w.show();
return app.exec();
}
