# qsizegrip(3qt)

Corner-grip for resizing a top-level window

## NAME

QSizeGrip - Corner-grip for resizing a top-level window

## SYNOPSIS

`#include <qsizegrip.h>`

Inherits QWidget.

### Public Members

**QSizeGrip ( QWidget \* parent, const char \* name = 0 )**\
 **~QSizeGrip ()**\
 **virtual QSize sizeHint () const**\

### Protected Members

**virtual void paintEvent ( QPaintEvent \* e )**\
 **virtual void mousePressEvent ( QMouseEvent \* e )**\
 **virtual void mouseMoveEvent ( QMouseEvent \* e )**\

## DESCRIPTION

The QSizeGrip class provides a corner-grip for resizing a top-level window.

This widget works like the standard Windows resize handle. In the X11 version this resize handle generally works differently from the one provided by the system; we hope to reduce this difference in the future.

Put this widget anywhere in a widget tree and the user can use it to resize the top-level window. Generally, this should be in the lower right-hand corner. Note that QStatusBar already uses this widget, so if you have a status bar (e.g. you are using QMainWindow), then you don't need to use this widget explicitly.
