See "creating custom widgets" starting on page 5 of "C++ GUI programming with Qt4, second edition". I'm sure you can get it somewhere. Or do some google searches on "qt custom widget".

Creating a custom widget is not so difficult, but is not something we can/will just tell you in this thread.

One advice : don't start to try to integrate your widget in Qt Designer. That is quite more complex. If it's just for a single application, you can just promote a widget on your form to the new class you create.

Best regards,
Marc

I would rather start with the Analog clock widget example.

I don't understand exactly what you mean. Do you mean the 5 bar thing in the top-left corner?

If so, just create a custom widget derived from QWidget, add signals and slots called setValue(int) and value(int) or something like that to set the number of bars shown, and reimplement the paint() method to draw the bars based on the value.

See the documentation for the QWidget::paintEvent() method and the QPainter class.

I'm sorry but I have need of the code because I do not know in order to write it... i'm incapable

You should learn the basics of C++ and Qt (specifically, how to use signals and slots) first, then. Once you know that, it should be quite simple.

OK. First, do you know how to define your own signals and slots?

[toro.86]

for the time being a any signal goes well or generic slots.

is it possible to add this widget in this code?

What does that mean?

Anyway, I'm working on an example.
