I need to design a custom tool bar as same as below image. For that I have used following lines of code:
m_ptrFileToolBar = new QToolBar("File",theUi->toolBar);
m_ptrNewAct = new QAction(QIcon(":/res/images/New.png"), tr("&New"), this);
m_ptrNewAct->setShortcuts(QKeySequence::New);
m_ptrNewAct->setStatusTip(tr("Create a new file"));
m_ptrFileToolBar->addAction(m_ptrNewAct);
It is showing only tool bar actions. But I need to give headings to each tool bar section. How do I do it in Qt
?
You have to subclass QWidgetAction and reimplement QWidgetAction::createWidget() function
QWidget *myWidgetAction::createWidget(QWidget *parent)
{
QWidget *myWidget = new QWidget(parent);
QAction *act1 = new QAction(QIcon(":/1.png"),tr("New"),myWidget);
QAction *act2 = new QAction(QIcon(":/2.png"),tr("Open"),myWidget);
QAction *act3 = new QAction(QIcon(":/3.png"),tr("Create"),myWidget);
QToolBar *toolbar = new QToolBar(myWidget);
toolbar->addAction(act1);
toolbar->addAction(act2);
toolbar->addAction(act3);
QLabel *title = new QLabel("test");
QGridLayout *grid = new QGridLayout(myWidget);
myWidget->setLayout(grid);
grid->addWidget(title,0,0,1,0,Qt::AlignCenter);
grid->addWidget(toolbar,1,0,1,0,Qt::AlignCenter);
return myWidget;
}
Then you can add myWidgetAction
object to toolbar
m_ptrFileToolBar = new QToolBar("File",theUi->toolBar);
myWidgetAction *widgetAction = new myWidgetAction(this);
m_ptrFileToolBar->addAction(widgetAction);
