I think that approach works just fine. They obviously didn't use the
QMainWindow status bar when they built the UI. Its just a separate child. It
would have been more convenient for you if in their code they had done
.setStatusBar() to their child widget so that calling .statusBar() would return
it.
Typo?
statusBar.showMessage()
instead of...
> statusBar.setMessage()
