Question

I have a fixed size label on a QtDesigner form. The label is used to display images, let’s assume it’s used to display thumbnails of 100×100 px.

I can set the size of the label but when I put the label in some layout manager the labels get resized to take the whole space. Even if I do it through the Form > Layout in a Grid. The size of the labels is shrunk.

I believe this is some corner case as labels are not often used to do such things (although they are meant to be able to display images). Is there a workaround to avoid the size of the labels changing when placed in the layout?

You can set horizontal and vertical size policies to Fixed or set the maximum height and width additionally. Either in code or in Designer.
