Expand toolbar

alecs26

Hello,

I have a toolbar on the left of the screen.

When I go over a toolbar button with the cursor, I want to expand 4 buttons as:

It seems like a classic thing to do. Is there an automated method to do this ?

Thank you very much,

Hi,

Not that I'm aware of but one possibility could be to add a QMenu to your QToolButton and in there add a QWidgetAction on which you button a custom widget containing the buttons you want.

Hope it helps

Thank you very much for the information. I think I found an easy way to do what I want to do. I will post my solution when its finished. However, there is a small problem with it.

Here is a simplifified example. I have a rectangle with width 113. When I hover over the rectangle, I extend this rectangle width. When I exit the area, I reset the rectangle to its original width.

This works. However, when I go on the design tab, I get a warning:
Imperative code is not supported in the Qt Quick Designer. (M203) for the line (rectangle2.width=113 and rectangle2.width=113+107)

    Rectangle
    {
        id: rectangle2
        x: 430
        y: 296
        width: 113
        height: 105
        color: "#000000"
        MouseArea
        {
            anchors.fill: parent
            hoverEnabled: true
         
            onExited:
            {
                rectangle4.visible=false
                rectangle2.width=113
            }
            onEntered:
            {
                rectangle4.visible=true
                rectangle2.width=113+107
            }
        }

Thank you very much for your help !

Hi
instead of
rectangle2.width=113+107
try
rectangle2.width=220

Thank you for your answer. I still have the same warning with this.
I also had the warning with the other line (rectangle2.width=113).

Thank you very much,

See here for that warning.

Ok thank you.
I'm just not sure to understand.
Can I ignore this warning ?
Will my program won't work sometimes because of that ?

Thank you so much,

AFAIK, That warning tells you that Qt Quick Designer can't handle that kind of stuff not that your code is inherently wrong.

Again, AFAIK, The Qt Quick Designer was made to build your UI but not to handle logic in it which is what you added.
