Tabs on StatusBar (Symbian)

[panamerr]

Hello Qt experts.
I'd like to add few tabs to the status bar (on the QMainWindow widget) like it is shown on a figure:

I beleive that on Symbian it can be done using some standart way, because many native symbian applications (like messages or clock) has tabs placed on the status bar exectly like it is shown.

I would be appreciated for any idea.

use a QTabWidget as central widget of mainwindow, or directly use a tabwidget as your main window

Hi nish.
I'm pretty sure I've tried the first way "use a QTabWidget as central widget of mainwindow" and as far as I rememebr the tabs were placed on central widget area (right below the status bar), but i'll try this once more.
Thanks.

I've tried this solution, and as I expected the tabs are placed right below the status pane:

QMainWindow *mainWindow = new QMainWindow();
 
QWidget *firstSubWidget = new QWidget();
QWidget *secondSubWidget = new QWidget();
 
QTabWidget *tabWidget = new QTabWidget(mainWindow);
 
tabWidget->addTab(firstSubWidget, "first");
tabWidget->addTab(secondSubWidget, "second");
 
mainWindow->setCentralWidget(tabWidget);

QMainWindow *mainWindow = new QMainWindow();
 
QWidget *firstSubWidget = new QWidget();
QWidget *secondSubWidget = new QWidget();
 
QTabWidget *tabWidget = new QTabWidget(mainWindow);
 
tabWidget->addTab(firstSubWidget, "first");
tabWidget->addTab(secondSubWidget, "second");
 
mainWindow->setCentralWidget(tabWidget);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It seems that using Qt only it is impossible to to that, combining Qt with native Symbian API is required.

have your tried to use qtabwidget directly instead of using mainwindow?

Hi nish.

Yes, I've tried this as well and the result is the same.
