< p > We add an include of tqvbox.h to get the layout class we'll use.
< p > < pre > < a href = "tqvbox.html" > TQVBox< / a > box;
< / pre >
< p > Here we simply create a vertical box container. The < a href = "tqvbox.html" > TQVBox< / a > arranges
its child widgets in a vertical row, one above the other, handing out
space according to each child's < a href = "tqwidget.html#sizePolicy" > TQWidget::sizePolicy< / a > ().
< p > < pre > < a name = "x2300" > < / a > box.< a href = "tqwidget.html#resize" > resize< / a > ( 200, 120 );
< / pre >
< p > We set its width to 200 pixels and the height to 120 pixels.
< p > < pre > < a href = "tqpushbutton.html" > TQPushButton< / a > quit( "Quit", & box );
< / pre >
< p > A child is born.
< p > This < a href = "tqpushbutton.html" > TQPushButton< / a > is created with both a text ("Quit") and a parent
(box). A child widget is always on top of its parent. When
displayed, it is clipped by its parent's bounds.
< p > The parent widget, the TQVBox, automatically adds the child centered in
its box. Because nothing else is added, the button gets all the space
the parent has.
< p > < pre > < a name = "x2302" > < / a > box.< a href = "tqwidget.html#show" > show< / a > ();
< / pre >
< p > When a parent widget is shown, it will call show for all its children
(except those on which you have done an explicit < a href = "tqwidget.html#hide" > TQWidget::hide< / a > ()).
< p > < h2 > Behavior
< / h2 >
< a name = "2" > < / a > < p > The button no longer fills the entire widget. Instead, it gets a
"natural" size. This is because there is now a new top-level widget,
which uses the button's size hint and size change policy to set the
button's size and position. (See < a href = "tqwidget.html#sizeHint" > TQWidget::sizeHint< / a > () and < a href = "tqwidget.html#setSizePolicy" > TQWidget::setSizePolicy< / a > () for more information about these functions.)
< p > (See < a href = "tutorial1-01.html#compiling" > Compiling< / a > for how to create a
makefile and build the application.)
< p > < h2 > Exercises
< / h2 >
< a name = "3" > < / a > < p > Try resizing the window. How does the button change? What is the
button's size-change policy? What happens to the button's height if
you run the program with a bigger font? What happens if you try to
make the window < em > really< / em > small?
