Using QLabel to increase/decrease a Status Bar

Attached is a pic of my StatusBar using QLabel.
I would like to know how to write the code for increasing or decreasing the white bar inside of the Status Bar. It would be best if you can give me an example of the coding needed to be written.

Condition:

• The white bar will increase by one bar at a time whenever a Increase button is pressed.
• The white bar will decrease by one bar at a time whenever a Decrease button is pressed.
• All the Statusbar and the 4 white bars are design using QLabel.
• There are 2 QPushbutton to select the increase or decrease functions.

If you want to do this with a QLabel, you will have to generate a pixmap every time its content should change and then set the new pixmap.

However, this looks like a situation where you would want to have a custom widget, that has exactly that visualization.

- derive from QWidget
- have a member variable that stores how many sections are filled
- have two slots, one that increments that value and one that decrements it
- implement paintEvent() to draw that for and as many sections filled as the member indicates
