How to create QtCreator "Application Output", "Compile Output" type windows/panes?

[JohnGa]

Hello,
What is the best way to create QtCreator "Application Output", "Compile Output" type windows/panes? I want to have a button like "Application Output" (or some other control type) that sits in the status bar and when clicked opens the window/pane like QtCreator does. Any pointers would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
JG.
