Thanks really much! My solution:

I created my own class (MessageBox) this is my code for showing it:

MessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setText("Hello!");
msgBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::Information);
msgBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::Ok);
msgBox.setAutoClose(true);
msgBox.setTimeout(3); //Closes after three seconds
msgBox.exec();

This is my class:

class MessageBox : public QMessageBox

int timeout;
bool autoClose;
int currentTime;

void MessageBox::showEvent ( QShowEvent * event ) {
    currentTime = 0;
    if (autoClose) {
    this->startTimer(1000);
    }
}

void MessageBox::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event)
{
    currentTime++;
    if (currentTime>=timeout) {
    this->done(0);
    }
}
