Thanks for the reply and for pointing me into the right direction. Your
tutorial is very good and got me started.

The problem I'm having with the built-in layout managers is that I have a
very specific layout that I want and the managers are wrecking it. Well,
they're doing what they're supposed to do. So it looks like I'll be
reimplementing QWidget::resizeEvent() and Qwidget::event(), as per
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3.0/layout.html#manual-layout.

I have a question regarding QWidget::event(). The docs say to reimplement
event() to handle QEvent::LayoutRequest. That's straightforward, but how do
I want to handle that request? Should I be returning something there and, if
so, what do I return for a manual layout?

I did indeed notice that book in my searches...was flabbergasted when I
realized that it hadn't been published yet. :confused:
