[Qt-interest] How to display classification banners in QMainWindow?

[William Lugg]

I never saw an answer to this on the list, but here's how we did it in our 
app.  Remember that ours is Qt 3.3 based so YMMV.

// NOTE: the this pointer below refers to a QMainWindow object
QDockWindow* topBanner = new QDockWindow( this, "TopBanner" );

QLabel* topBannerLabel = new QLabel( topBanner, "Welcome John Doe" );
// set min/max size on label for proper sizing, set alignment, colors,
font, etc..

topBanner->setWidget( topBannerLabel );
topBanner->setMovingEnabled( FALSE );
topBanner->setHorizontallyStretchable( TRUE );
this->addDockWindow( topBanner, Qt::DockTop, TRUE );

// do same for bottom
