Answer 1

You can add the progress bar as child of your QWidget without adding it in the layout. This will draw the QProgressBar into the QWidget. Since you are not using the layout you will have to manually manage the position of the QProgressBar.

Ya..your method worked.. one more question. cant i create another layout add progress bar to it and set it to the image window layout?.. . i m trying like this its not coming. is it possible or not? – Liturgics

Since you can add a layout to a layout (using the addItem function) I guess you can. – Whipcord

Answer 2

I think that just adding a progress bar widget to your grid layout should work.
