Extending MessageBox

[thru]

I need to add some additional widgets to a standard messagebox, for example a warning that would have an additional checkbox "Don't show this message more" below the row of the standard pushbuttons.

What would be the best strategy?, implementing a new window is relatively easy if you don't enter into the styles of each platform. Adding the widgets directly to a regular qmessagebox would require accessing the internal layout of the qmessagebox.... any suggestion to what approach take?

Thanks!

Why not just subclass?

hi,
as high_flyer said, subclass is the best way to go.

The best strategy would be to use QErrorMessage.

Man... there are so many new specialized classes, it really is hard to keep up with the trolls... :)
Since which version is this?

Well I learned two (at least) things, one that I could sublclass the QMessagebox (when I asked I was not aware that I could access its QLayout, but after some tests I think I got it) and second the QErrorMessage that probably I read about it but with so many classes and at an age one can not cope with all :-)

Thank you!
