QStatusBar with free widget placement

Hi folks, 

maybe someone can help me, 

I'm currently working on an application where 
I have a central widget and toolbars placed 
on all 4 sides of that widget. On the bottom 
of the main window I need need something that 
behaves like a QStatusBar (which means that 
a toolbar is positioned at the top of the 
statusbar). The aim is that I can freely add 
any widgets to that bar, which is not possible 
with QStatusBar because it has a QVBoxLayout 
which brings all my widgets into one line. 

Thanks for any help in advance

Hi Dietmar,

I've tried something like this in a QMainWindow:

  QWidget* widget = new QWidget (statusBar());
  QGridLayout* layout = new QGridLayout (widget, 3, 2);
  layout->addWidget (new QLineEdit (widget), 0, 0);
  layout->addWidget (new QLineEdit (widget), 0, 1);
  layout->addWidget (new QComboBox (TRUE, widget), 1, 0);
  ...

  statusBar()->addWidget (widget, 1, TRUE);

So I have a QGridLayout in the statusbar and can add any widget or
additionally layouts.
Hope this will help.
