QStatusBar inside normal QDialog
Message 1 in thread
hello i would like to add a status bar to a normal dialog to do any information relative to active widget in
the dialog (with statusTip, i prefer this to a tooltip) but i cant find how to do this in qt documentation, it
seems the status bar it is only used in qmainwindow, how can i add a statusbar to a normal dialog? i have
tried creating one and laying in the dialog but it does not display widgets statustip, any good idea on this?

QStatusBar inherits QWidget, so you can add it to layout

Two questions asked... First for the statusBar.
Lay it out using normal layout..
Then in order to get the QActions statusText onto your status bar, add a
event( QEvent * e ) method to your dialog class and set the status bar
text when the event is a QStatusBarEvent
Now, if you prefer to do it via a tool tip, every QWidget derived class
has a method called setToolTip( text )... QT takes care of the rest :)
Here is some VERY simple test code.
class CStatusBarTestClass : public QWidget
{
public:
CStatusBarTestClass( QWidget * parent = NULL ) :
QWidget( parent )
{
QVBoxLayout * vl = new QVBoxLayout( this );
vl->setMargin( 0 );
vl->setSpacing( 2 );
QMenuBar * menuBar = new QMenuBar;
QMenu * file = menuBar->addMenu( "File" );
QAction * open = file->addAction( "Open" );
open->setStatusTip( "Open" );
myStatusBar = new QStatusBar;
vl->addWidget( menuBar );
QLabel * label1 = new QLabel( "Hello World" );
label1->setToolTip( "Label 1" );
QLabel * label2 = new QLabel( "Hello World 2" );
label2->setToolTip( "Label 2" );
vl->addWidget( label1 );
vl->addWidget( label2 );
vl->addWidget( myStatusBar );
}
bool event(QEvent * e)
{
if ( e->type() == QEvent::StatusTip )
{
myStatusBar->showMessage(static_cast<QStatusTipEvent*>(e)->tip());
return true;
}
return false;
}
QStatusBar * myStatusBar;
};
