    Default Layout QActions in a QToolBar

    Hi,
    I've a QToolBar with 30 Actions : one column of 30 Icons.
    I want organize this Actions in 2 Colums of 15 items for column.
    I think to create a Vertical Layout, and insert in this Layout 15 Horizontal Layouts.
    Then in every Horizontal Layouts add two QActions.

    But the layout with the QActions in the QToolBar don't works :
    I Post a little example, with only one icon (QAction) :

    1. I Create a Widget (w1) with only a QAction.
    2. I Create an HorizontalLayout (hl) and i set to it the Widget (w1)
    3. I Create a new Widget (w2)
    4. I Set to w2 the layout (hl) that contains the other widget (w1).
    5. I Add the w2 widget to the toolBar.

    Qt Code:
    1. QWidget *w1 = new QWidget();
    2. w1->addAction(myAction); // myAction is QAction*;
    3.  
    4. hl->addWidget(w1);
    5.  
    6. QWidget *w2 = new QWidget();
    7. w2->setLayout(hl);
    8. toolBar->addWidget(w2);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    This code don't works. In the Toolbar nothing appears.
    How can I manage the layout in the ToolBar ?
    Thank you
    Salvo

    Default Re: Layout QActions in a QToolBar

    QWidget::addAction() doesn't do what you want. You need to manually create a QToolButton for each action, then assign the action to the button and place the button in the layout.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.
