Okay in AddSCADTask I added a print(dir(self.form) and got 19:54:00 ['DrawChildren', 'DrawWindowBackground', 'IgnoreMask', 'PaintDeviceMetric', 'PdmDepth', 'PdmDevicePixelRatio', tWindowTitle(translate('OpenSCAD','Add OpenSCAD Element')) Self.checkboxmesh = QtGui.QCheckBox(translate('OpenSCAD','as Mesh')) Self.buttonrefresh = QtGui.QPushButton(translate('OpenSCAD','Refresh'))

Self.buttonsave = QtGui.QPushButton(translate('OpenSCAD','Save')) Self.buttonload = QtGui.QPushButton(translate('OpenSCAD','Load')) Self.buttonclear = QtGui.QPushButton(translate('OpenSCAD','Clear')) Self.buttonadd = QtGui.QPushButton(translate('OpenSCAD','Add')) # Following made no difference also tried QSizePolicyExpanding Which varies on how the user controls various windows. I have no control over parent window, just want to size to what it makes available The following code is in a FreeCAD workbench. I have tried setting maximimumHeight and sizepolicy = QtWidgets.QSizePolicy(īut that made no difference Minimum code looks like layouth=QtGui.QHBoxLayout() If I print out the maximumHeight it is 16777215. If I print out the details of the textEdit windows viewport it reports 640 x 480 which seems to be the restriction I am hitting and I don't know how to change. The code is running under FreeCAD so I don't have easy access to the parent window. I would like the textEdit window to use as much of the parent window as possible. The Window below it is for messages and its height is set and its set to only output. Currently it looks like !( image url)The window with the words cube() is the textEdit Window. I have a textEdit window that I would like to use as much of its parent window as possible.
