Thank you for your reply, Tony.  This "Remove/Create Status Bar" menu option 
is in Qt4's VS Integration as well, when editing a form derived from 
QMainWindow.

Sorry, I don't know. Maybe someone else can answer this question for us?

Thanks, I'll give it a try.  It looks like adding widgets to a toolbox isn't 
entirely trivial in Qt4, while adding a status bar to a QMainWindow certainly 
is.

Actually I've just decided to use a QWizard.  Which makes my original question 
totally irrelevant, because Qt4 doesn't support drag-and-dropping widgets from 
the designer toolbox onto a QWizard form.  At least, as far as I can see.

Still I'm now following your advice, by placing the QWizard onto a 
QMainWindow.  In C++ code, by doing this->setCentralWidget(new MyWizard); 
within the constructor of my main window.  Hope I can get things working that 
way, especially because I need to make sure that the signals are processed by 
the right window...

  Kind regards, Niels
