thanks for repling and i am sorry for my english
Use a QTimer and set its interval to 1000.
Then every second timeout signal gets fired and you can update(in the slot connected to timeout()) your timeline.
No.Quote:

But all the various elements to build such a thing, yes.
Yes you do.Quote:

can you give me advice how i program it ? (i mean how i get widget in my interface like that picture)
You just program it by typing code.
If you get in to problems ask here.
hi again ,
you mean by code with qpainter i draw the lines and the numbers ? i do know just how i start it
So what you are saying is you don't understand how to get started writing a custom widget, right?
Qt has many, many examples of how to use standard widgets as well as how to write custom widgets. Why don't you start here: Widget Examples, especially examples such as Analog Clock that show how to use QPainter within a paint event to draw customized things inside a widget.
A hint: Start simple. Instead of trying to paint a beautiful time line widget like the screen shot you showed, do something simple - make a long rectangle with some numbers inside. Once you figure out how to draw and scale it properly, then you can add the other features to make it pretty.
I am also assuming that what you mean by the "time line" is only the part in the top-half of your screen shot. The menus, buttons, and other things in the toolbar below that can be done with standard Qt widgets inside of a layout.
