[SOLVED] QStatusBar - Permanent widget on the left

[AcerExtensa]

Hallo everybody,
do anybod know how to add permanent widget(QLabel) to statusBar on the left side without reimplementing paintEvent? I need to add small icon to status bar on the left side of statusbar message.... widget added with addWidget will be removed next time status bar message comes...

void QStatusBar::addPermanentWidget ( QWidget * widget, int stretch = 0 )

[AcerExtensa]

addPermanentWidget adds widget on the right side! I need permanent widget on the left side

A widget containing the label and an expanding spacer in a layout?

QStatusBar::showMessage doesn't draws message then...

I've just subclassed QWidget and draw content by myself... But where is another thing i need to fix: QStatusBar draws some kind of vertical and horizontal line on the right of my widget. How do I get this off?

Found it ...
Just add:
@QStatusBar::item {border: none;} @
... to the application stylesheet.

Hi
I struggle with similiar issue right now and the @gtpt solution doesnt work for me, but I found out how to make it.
If you want to put widget on the left just addWidget or addPermanentWidget with stretch > 0.

What helped is to use layout direction of the status bar:
this->statusBar()->setLayoutDirection(Qt::LayoutDirection::RightToLeft);

@Roman-Bober This will make SizeGrip also on the left side, and for me @DevDirrack‘s method works well.

@DevDirrack said in [SOLVED] QStatusBar - Permanent widget on the left:

If you want to put widget on the left just addWidget or addPermanentWidget with stretch > 0.

For future references and readers, this only works with addWidget(), does not work with addPermanentWidget().

Sorry to bring this old topic up as well.
But I do believe if you do mainWindow()->statusBar()->addPermanentWidget( new widget,1); it will put the widget on the left side, 0 will be default to the right.
