Thanks Anders,

But how do I get a 'handle' to the existing layout?

This is what I have so far:

setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose) ;
layout = new QVBoxLayout(this) ;
layout->setObjectName("StatusBar") ;
infoBar = new QStatusBar ;
layout->addWidget(infoBar) ;
layout->setMargin(0) ;
layout->setSpacing(0) ;
setLayout(layout) ;
