How do I make the taskbar show my progress bar in PyQt4?

Question

I'm using PyQt4 to display a progress bar in my application, but I want it to also be seen on the taskbar, just like many programs such as winRAR and google chrome do. Is there a way to make that happen?

Answer 1

Yes, you'll want to setup your QProgressBar (not QProgressBarDialog) and insert into QStatusBar (or QMainWindow.statusBar()) with the insertWidget(), then use removeWidget to remove it when you're done with it.
