but
[qt code:]statusBar()->showMesssage()[/QUOTE]

showmessage() will take only string. how can i pass float values.

Have a look at QString::arg. One of the overloaded method takes double as argument .
Hope this helps

Hi, try to set LayoutDirection to RightToLeft:

statusBar ()->setLayoutDirection (Qt::RightToLeft);

statusBar ()->setLayoutDirection (Qt::RightToLeft);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

addition: you could also add a spacer widget and a label with your text.

You can make your own widget in Designer and then put it in the status bar. I don't know if it's the best way but I did so in my app and its working good :]
I made my widget as on the attached first picture, and then added it in code like this:

statusWidget = new StatusWidget(this);
statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(statusWidget);

statusWidget = new StatusWidget(this);
statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(statusWidget);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in my main window, and it looks like on the second picture.
