[Qgis-developer] itemChanged signal use on a QgsComposerItem

[John Gitau]

Hi,

Have you tried the 'sizeChanged' signal?

Also, have a look at the QgsComposerItemWidget class, specifically this
function:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/src/app/composer/qgscomposeritemwidget.cpp#L378.
It might contain some pointers for your use case.

All the best.

Regards,

John
