    before u try composite, please try adjust paint first.
    So little code.

      void QDial::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *)
      {
      QStylePainter p(this);
      QStyleOptionSlider option;
      initStyleOption(&option);
      p.drawComplexControl(QStyle::CC_Dial, option);
      }

      So u can just change option.rect ( check name)
      and you can control the size of the dial.

      I can't do "option.something" ...

          Now the problem is I can extend the area and write text in the right and in the bottom of the QDial (because the QDial is drawn (good english ?!) in the left-top (0,0) ). And I don't have any idea how to change that.. I searched if there is something like the position where qt draw of something like that, but didn't find it .. --'

            hi
            Not tested myself.
            option.rect should control where QDial is
            and the normal rect is your widget.

            So if u set option.rect before
            p.drawComplex

            U should be able to move it around?

              Look, if I

              option.rect.setX(20)
              

              this is just moving one part of the QDial --'
              Gyazo

              And what do you mean about the normal rect ?

              The only rect I have is option.rect no ?!

                Option has rect yes, used for the drawComplexControl call.
                You own widget, also has rect, simply called rect or this->rect
                which is the real area since the QDial is just painted.

                      rect().setRect(0,0,200,200);
                      option.rect.setRect(30,30,100,100);

                      p.drawText(200,200,"(200,200)");
                  

                  => Gyazo

                  I don't find anything to move ticks ...

                    Hmm
                    so it dont use option.rect() for the tick drawing.
                    Strange.

                    Alternatively
                    new a layout
                    set to your widget
                    New a QDial
                    add to layout
                    adjust layout margins to get room for text.
                    Paint the text in paintEvent.
                    Remove the drawComplexControl etc.

                        Yes
                        In constructor
                        so it becomes a composite widget with a normal QDial inside.
                        You will also have to create some public signal to use from outside
                        since you cannot directly connect to the QDail.

                          Hi
                          yes that seems to be possible.

                          https://www.dropbox.com/s/5hjry2pcb0mpsi2/myqdial.zip?dl=0
                          I just did it in Creator for test. Using code in
                          CustomDial is smarter.

                              layout() returns null.
                              something like
                              QVBoxLayou *verticalLayout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
                              verticalLayout->setContentsMargins(32, 32, 32, 32);

                                QVBoxLayou *verticalLayout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
                                verticalLayout->setContentsMargins(32, 32, 32, 32);
                                QDial *dial = new QDial(this); ** might have this as class memeber
                                verticalLayout->addWidget(dial);

                                  super!
                                  You might need to surface some of the signals from the QDial to make
                                  it do anything usefull.

                                  In this regards , please note that u -can- connect signals to signals
                                  So you can define some new public signals and hook the new signals
                                  to the QDial signals.
                                  From outside u can then connect to the new signals.
