Has anyone any suggestions on how to align the status text on the QProgressBar in Qt? By default in Windows it appears to the right of the bar but I'd prefer to place it either above the bar or within the bar itself without having to extend the object and implement a status label myself.

Yet another approach would be to set the alignment of the status text through QProgressBar::setAlignment:

barProgress_->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
