Put QWidget in a QTextEdit

[faldzip]

You could try combining Qt::WA_DontShowOnScreen with QWidget::render(). First one is a flag that makes your widget invisible, but with 'visible' porperty set to true - so you get all Paint events and so on. Now catch Paint events with some event filter or something and render your widget to pixmap, which you can place in QTextEdit. In this solution, every Paint event will fire QWidget::render() to render the actual widget state on the pixmap - just refresh it every time and you will have even blinking vista progressbar :]. Worse thing is with event handling - you have to catch for example mouse moves and clicks on you displayed pixmap and send them to the right part of your invisible widget.

P.S. Try giving names to your classes diffrent than "Q..." as it can lead to some misunderstandings, and read your Qt license to see if it is allowed - i dont know, but check just in case
