Resize of main window without setFixedSize

S.O.: Ubuntu 9.10
Qt 4.6.2

Hello,
I have a problem about window resize after click of button that shows/hides widget in the main window.
When I want to hide the window on click of button main window don't becomeagain little .

I can' t use setFixedSize, setMaximumSize because I want resize (maximize/minimize with mouse) the window.
I have tested resize method but it doesn' t work. In MainWindow:

connect(myWidget, SIGNAL(buttonShowToggled(bool)),this, SLOT(showOtherWidget(bool)));

void MainWindow::showOtherWidget(bool isVisible) {

if(isVisible== true){
otherWidget->show();
resize( QSize(width()+50,height()));
} else {
otherWidget->hide();
//rightLayout->removeWidget(otherWidget);
resize( QSize(width()-50,height()));
}
}



Could anybody please give me indications about solution or possibly indicate me examples ?

Thanks in advance
Ely

I'm not sure what you are wanting based on the information provided.
You have a mainwindow that contains a widget in which you want to hide/show based on a button.
Do you have a layout you use with mainwindow to add and remove the widget from?
Do you set the centralWidget on mainwindow with a different widget?
What is suppose to resize: the widget or mainwindow to the size of the widget?
Sorry - need more information on your design to help you on this.
