QToolBar not functioning properly

8Wallace8

I'm having a problem getting my toolbar to show it's border or even be set as movable. I have four different instances, located on my app, that I'm splitting using QSplitter's and each one has a toolbar.I'm unable to solve the problem, I'm new to Qt, so any help will be really appreciated.

My Code:

@
QWidget *view = new QTextEdit(this);
QVBoxLayout *vbox = new QVBoxLayout(this);

fileToolBar = new QToolBar(this);
fileToolBar->addAction("file");
fileToolBar->setMovable(true);

vbox->addWidget(fileToolBar);
vbox->addWidget(view);
vbox->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
vbox->setSpacing(0);
setLayout(vbox);
@

Here is a picture of what my app looks like.
I got the idea from this "link":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/3647, but my app doesn't look the same.

Who is the parent of your setLayout function? This setLayout is done on a QWidget?

header file: "pane.h"

@
class Pane : public QWidget
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
Pane(QWidget* parent = 0);

private:
void createActions();
void createToolBars();
QAction *newAction;
QToolBar *fileToolBar;
};

@

Source File: "pane.cpp"
createToolBars() is called by Pane::Pane(QWidget* parent)

@
void Pane::createToolBars()
{

QWidget *view = new QTextEdit(this);
QVBoxLayout *vbox = new QVBoxLayout(this);

fileToolBar = new QToolBar(this);
fileToolBar->addAction("file");
fileToolBar->setMovable(true);

vbox->addWidget(fileToolBar);
vbox->addWidget(view);
vbox->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);
vbox->setSpacing(0);
setLayout(vbox);

}@

I'm extremely new to Qt and not sure if it is a QWidget or Q_OBJECT.

I create the instances in QMainWindow
@
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent)

{
QWidget *wnd = new QWidget;
QWidget *container_1 = new QWidget;
QWidget *container_2 = new QWidget;

QHBoxLayout *h_layout1 = new QHBoxLayout;
QHBoxLayout *h_layout2 = new QHBoxLayout;
QVBoxLayout *v_layout3 = new QVBoxLayout;

QSplitter *split1 = new QSplitter;
QSplitter *split2 = new QSplitter;
QSplitter *split3 = new QSplitter;

Pane *p1 = new Pane;
Pane *p2 = new Pane;
Pane *p3 = new Pane;
Pane *p4 = new Pane;

split1->addWidget(p1);
split1->addWidget(p2);

split2->addWidget(p3);
split2->addWidget(p4);

h_layout1->addWidget(split1);
h_layout2->addWidget(split2);

container_1->setLayout(h_layout1);
container_2->setLayout(h_layout2);

split3->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical);
split3->addWidget(container_1);
split3->addWidget(container_2);

v_layout3->addWidget(split3);
wnd->setLayout(v_layout3);

setCentralWidget(wnd);

}

Hi,

your toolbar can't be movable. This functionality can only be used with a toolbar in a QMainWindow (using "QMainWindow::addToolBar()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtwidgets/qmainwindow.html#addToolBar, see the documentation of the "movable property":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/qtwidgets/qtoolbar.html#movable-prop).
