Only <a href="#interesting">one of the constructors</a> is of interest in most applications. <p> TQSizePolicy contains two independent SizeType objects; one describes the widgets's horizontal size policy, and the other describes its vertical size policy. It also contains a flag to indicate whether the height and width of its preferred size are related. <p> The horizontal and vertical <a href="#SizeType-enum">SizeType</a>s are set in the usual constructor and can be queried using a variety of functions. <p> The <a href="#hasHeightForWidth">hasHeightForWidth</a>() flag indicates whether the widget's sizeHint() is width-dependent (such as a word-wrapping label) or not. <p> <p>See also <a href="#SizeType-enum">TQSizePolicy::SizeType</a>, <a href="appearance.html">Widget Appearance and Style</a>, and <a href="geomanagement.html">Layout Management</a>. <hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="ExpandData-enum"></a>TQSizePolicy::ExpandData</h3> <p> This enum type describes in which directions a widget can make use of extra space. There are four possible values: <ul> <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::NoDirection</tt> - the widget cannot make use of extra space in any direction. <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Horizontally</tt> - the widget can usefully be wider than the sizeHint(). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Vertically</tt> - the widget can usefully be taller than the sizeHint(). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::BothDirections</tt> - the widget can usefully be both wider and taller than the sizeHint(). </ul> <h3 class=fn><a name="SizeType-enum"></a>TQSizePolicy::SizeType</h3> <p> The per-dimension sizing types used when constructing a TQSizePolicy are: <ul> <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Fixed</tt> - The <a href="ntqwidget.html#sizeHint">TQWidget::sizeHint</a>() is the only acceptable alternative, so the widget can never grow or shrink (e.g. the vertical direction of a push button). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Minimum</tt> - The sizeHint() is minimal, and sufficient. The widget can be expanded, but there is no advantage to it being larger (e.g. the horizontal direction of a push button). It cannot be smaller than the size provided by sizeHint(). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Maximum</tt> - The sizeHint() is a maximum. The widget can be shrunk any amount without detriment if other widgets need the space (e.g. a separator line). It cannot be larger than the size provided by sizeHint(). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Preferred</tt> - The sizeHint() is best, but the widget can be shrunk and still be useful. The widget can be expanded, but there is no advantage to it being larger than sizeHint() (the default <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> policy). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Expanding</tt> - The sizeHint() is a sensible size, but the widget can be shrunk and still be useful. The widget can make use of extra space, so it should get as much space as possible (e.g. the horizontal direction of a slider). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::MinimumExpanding</tt> - The sizeHint() is minimal, and sufficient. The widget can make use of extra space, so it should get as much space as possible (e.g. the horizontal direction of a slider). <li><tt>TQSizePolicy::Ignored</tt> - the sizeHint() is ignored. The widget will get as much space as possible. </ul> <hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> <h3 class=fn><a name="TQSizePolicy"></a>TQSizePolicy::TQSizePolicy () </h3> <p> Constructs a minimally initialized TQSizePolicy. <h3 class=fn><a name="TQSizePolicy-2"></a>TQSizePolicy::TQSizePolicy ( <a href="ntqsizepolicy.html#SizeType-enum">SizeType</a> hor, <a href="ntqsizepolicy.html#SizeType-enum">SizeType</a> ver, bool hfw = FALSE ) </h3> <p> <a name="interesting"></a> This is the constructor normally used to return a value in the overridden <a href="ntqwidget.html#sizePolicy">TQWidget::sizePolicy</a>() function of a <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> subclass. <p> It constructs a TQSizePolicy with independent horizontal and vertical sizing types, <em>hor</em> and <em>ver</em> respectively.
