I have been trying to add a QToolBar
inside a QTabWidget
in order to achieve something like the image below, so that everytime I add a new QTabWidget
I have also a related QToolBar
inside it.
Everything seems to work fine, I create a QAction
to link it to the QTabWidget
and according to this post it seems to be possible to do that but the problem is that when I compile nothing shows up as shows below:
Below is what I have done so far:
mainwindow.h
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
~MainWindow();
void onChangeTab(int index);
void newTab();
void closeTab(const int &index);
private slots:
void on_addTabBtn_clicked();
void on_tabWidget_tabCloseRequested(int index);
private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
QAction *addTab1;
QToolBar *mToolBar1;
QAction *addIconToolBar1;
};
mainwindow.cpp
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
, ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
ui->tabWidget->clear();
ui->tabWidget->setTabsClosable(true);
ui->tabWidget->addTab(new QLabel("Add"), QString("Add"));
ui->toolBar->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::ActionsContextMenu);
mToolBar1 = new QToolBar;
addIconToolBar1 = new QAction;
addIconToolBar1->setIcon(QIcon("qrc:/cardio.png"));
ui->toolBar->addWidget(mToolBar1);
ui->toolBar->addAction(addIconToolBar1);
connect(ui->addTabBtn, &QPushButton::clicked, this, [&] { ui->tabWidget->addTab(new QLabel("Add"), QString("Add")); });
connect(ui->tabWidget, SIGNAL(tabCloseRequested(int)), this, SLOT(closeTab(int)));
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::on_addTabBtn_clicked()
{
int index = 0;
if(index == this->ui->tabWidget->count() - 1) {
newTab();
}
}
void MainWindow::on_tabWidget_tabCloseRequested(int index)
{
ui->tabWidget->removeTab(index);
}
I tried to solve the problem in many ways and researched what the cause might be. I came across several references such as this one, which is the most important I found as the user seems to be doing it but there is no reference to documentation or no example to code to understand/study through.
Thanks for pointing to the right direction to solve this issue.
You can simply do something like this, and it really works.
QToolBar *toolbar=new QToolBar("toolbar",ui->tab);
toolbar->addAction("action1");
toolbar->addAction("action2");
