can i add a checkbox just above the buttons in a QMessageBox ?

[davecotter]

i know you can add buttons into the button bar but what about a check box just above it? how ?

[jsulm]

@davecotter You can subclass QMessageBox and add what ever you want there

[davecotter]

okay is there an example for this? i want to put it just above the row of buttons at the bottom, how do i ensure the dialog will expand to accommodate?

Using layouts.

I'm not aware of such examples.

Why not use QMessageBox::setCheckBox()? If you do not use it, you must use layout(QGridLayout) as @jsulm mentions.

It is in principle possible with some black magic incantations. However, if you want to customize it further than already suggested, I advise you to make your own custom message box dialog in designer and take it from there.
