sub->setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400);
// Add your custom widget
QLabel *label = new QLabel("Hello from SubWindow!", sub->contentArea());
QPushButton *btn = new QPushButton("Click Me", sub->contentArea());
// Optionally arrange them with a layout inside content area
QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(sub->contentArea());
layout->addWidget(label);
layout->addWidget(btn);
// Show
sub->show();
