Hello,
is it possible to put in QMessageBox a QSpinBox?

Hi! No, that's not possible. But you can make your own "message box" by creating a custom widget that inherits from QDialog.

While it's possible to do using the property based version,
it often do not work as you
want and as @Wieland says, the best option is to make your own.

However, for fun/test code, you can do


void MainWindow::on_pushButton_released() {
  QMessageBox msgBox;
  QSpinBox* b = new QSpinBox();
  if (msgBox.layout())
    msgBox.layout()->addWidget(b);
  msgBox.setText("The document has been modified.");
  msgBox.exec();
}

and get

But its not useful in production code as they might change the QMessagebox
and your code might suddenly stop working so create a new one based on QDialog is the way to go.
Also as you can see, its comes after OK and might look even stranger if u set more of the flags/options.
