Using QMainWindow change default position of toolbar. PYQT4

[blanka]

Hello guys.
I was wondering if anyone can help me with some syntax/expression. i am using QMainWindow

The GUI i am working on has a tool bar , now i want to change the default position of it to the left of the CenterWidget. i am having problem saying put the toolbar to the left ..


Here is the code i have at the moment

toolbar = self.addToolBar('toolbar')
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

toolbar = self.addToolBar('toolbar')
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Here things i tried without luck.

toolbar = self.addToolBar(Qt.LeftToolBarArea)
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

toolbar = self.addToolBar(Qt.LeftToolBarArea)
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

toolbar = self.addToolBar('toolabr')
        toolbar.LeftToolbarArea()
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

toolbar = self.addToolBar('toolabr')
        toolbar.LeftToolbarArea()
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

toolbar = self.addToolBar(Qt.BottomToolBarArea,'Toolbar')
        toolbar.LeftToolbarArea()
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

toolbar = self.addToolBar(Qt.BottomToolBarArea,'Toolbar')
        toolbar.LeftToolbarArea()
        toolbar.addAction(NewDoc)
        toolbar.addAction(Map)
        toolbar.addAction(Change)
        toolbar.addAction(exit)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

check http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/...ainwindow.html

you are looking for:
addToolBar (self, Qt.ToolBarArea area, QToolBar toolbar)

What you are doing is storing the result of adding a toolbar to your MainWindow as a variable named toolbar.
You need to first create the toolbar and only then add it to the main window with a position.

example:

from PyQt4.QtGui import *
 
class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
 
        myToolbar = QToolBar() 
        self.addToolBar( Qt.LeftToolBarArea , myToolbar )

from PyQt4.QtGui import *

class MainWindow(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent)

        myToolbar = QToolBar() 
        self.addToolBar( Qt.LeftToolBarArea , myToolbar )
