But there is not QSizePolicy::MinimumOrHide option, which is what I would 
need, or? Example would be a toggle button for Readonly, it should be shown 
complete or not.

Kind of. The last option is what I had been going to try, but my sketch got 
stuck at things like the resize being already done based on the old layout, 
before resizeEvent() is called. And the '"close" to' is difficult to be 
defined, especially as I would not like to waste a pixel. So I am not sure 
how much of a hack this is going to be.

I still wonder that I am the first one with this need. And usually I am not 
and there is already a Qt solution. Something like a smart layout class which 
does the calculation and manages the included widgets accordingly. I mean the 
toolbar can do this, too.

Thanks
Friedrich
