How to add second status bar and display it above the first one?

[Anonymous_Banned275]

This TEST (!) code is an attempt to add second status bar to QMainWindow.

I cannot figure out how to locate / display it.
I like to have it ABOVE the current , default, status bar.

Do I have to calculate the size of current, default bar and then set the second one accordingly ? (yes/ no answer would be sufficient)

Will such calculation " make room" in the layout so BOTH status bars can be shown SAME TIME ?

Do I have to "resize" the main part of the layout?

PS
when I use
statusBar()->addWidget(secondstatusbar);

the second bar takes place of the original bar.
That MAY work , but not what I need.

           m_ui->setupUi(this);
            // add secondstatusbar here ??

            //Add
            QStatusBar *secondstatusbar = new QStatusBar(this);
            this->layout()->addWidget(secondstatusbar);
            text =  " A TEST secondstatusbar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ;
            secondstatusbar->showMessage(text);

            secondstatusbar->setBaseSize(4000,4000);
            secondstatusbar->move(0,600);

           statusBar()->addWidget(secondstatusbar);

@AnneRanch
The only obvious mistake is the last line statusBar()->addWidget(secondstatusbar);
Since you show only parts of your code, we don't know what thisis. If it inherits from QMainWindow, don't add the second status bar to the main window layout. Add a layout to your central widget, add a horizontal spacer to push your 2nd status bar to the bottom. It doesn't make much sense to call move()on a widget in a layout.

I am sure you have read everything about status bars, layouts and main windows.

@Axel-Spoerl How dare you to mention layouts here? It's forbidden: https://forum.qt.io/topic/155559/another-reuse-question !
