Create a blank widget and set its horizontal size policy to QSizePolicy::Expanding. Add that widget before all the actions. This way, the widget will act like a spacer, making the rest of toolbuttons appear at the right side. For example:

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <QtGui>
#include "mainwindow.h"
 
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
 : QMainWindow(parent)
{
	QToolBar *toolBar = addToolBar(tr("Main toolbar"));
 
	QWidget *spacerWidget = new QWidget(this);
	spacerWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Preferred);
	spacerWidget->setVisible(true);
	QAction *myAction = new QAction(tr("Exit"), this);
 
	toolBar->addWidget(spacerWidget);
	toolBar->addAction(myAction);
}

#include <QtGui>
#include "mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
 : QMainWindow(parent)
{
	QToolBar *toolBar = addToolBar(tr("Main toolbar"));

	QWidget *spacerWidget = new QWidget(this);
	spacerWidget->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Preferred);
	spacerWidget->setVisible(true);
	QAction *myAction = new QAction(tr("Exit"), this);

	toolBar->addWidget(spacerWidget);
	toolBar->addAction(myAction);
}
