    Default Can i add Actions to QDockWidget

    I want to implement a lot of actions in my app( a lot . say some 50 )
    ( i'm coding in PyQt )
    I wanted these actions be added to 2 or 3 QDockWidgets (right,left and bottom ) as icons . I created an action and added to a QListWidget and set the dockwidget . But nothing appears .

    Here's the code :
    Qt Code:
    1. self.optionslist_1.addAction(conv_main)
    2. rightdock.setWidget(self.optionslist_1)
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    where
    optionslist_1 is a QListWidget
    rightdock whose declarations are implemented previously .
    conv_main is an action that i've created earlier .

    So actions can't be added to a Dock ?
    Should i go for Toolbar ? And is Toolbars added only at Top ?

    Any suggestions welcome......

    An "action" is nothing that is "displayed" so if you expected some icons to appear, that's not how it works. Add a toolbar or a bunch of tool buttons and add actions to those.

    Thank u .
    ( Actually i wanted the way actions are added in Toolbars -> via icons. In Docks .)

    Can i implement toolbars to the right or left just like docks ? . Because if i add 50 actions all at the top , it'll be ugly .

    See QMainWindow::addToolbar() variant that takes two arguments.
