QWidget subclass does not appear on main window.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

You have to add it to your layout. Best here is, since you're already using a ui file, to promote your widget in designer.

Hi
Its just invisible as the stylesheet is not applied.

try adding

protected:
    virtual void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event) override
    {
        QPainter p(this);
        p.drawRect(0, 0, width() - 1, height() - 1);
    }

and you see its there.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I added widget to mainwindow and promoted it to ToolBar, but still it isn't visible

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@clostridium_difficile The move(50, 100) is useless / counter-productive. Please show us your current code.

@Christian-Ehrlicher current code? I showed you my current code in my first post in this topic and nothing changed. Widget has been promoted in Qt Designer. I moved toolbar to (50, 100), since I wanted to see what happens.
@mrjj i applied style sheet in line

setStyleSheet("background-color: #123456;");

So now you're instantiating the class two times? One in the ui and one in the ctor? How should this ever work?

[clostridium_difficile]

@Christian-Ehrlicher it it possible to have multiple instancens of the same widget type. I know what you mean – I didn't deleted ToolBar * toolBar; in Mainwindow – don't you? Apparently, it works for some reason – had two instances of this widget. I deleted it now, with initialization in constructor, but left only one instance, and nothing more has changed.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

So now you can access your toolbar with 'ui->toolbar'? Please reimplement the paint event as suggested by @mrjj and fill your widget with e.g. a red color.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I've did it already. I see frame. Ok, thats what I wanted to achieve, but why setStyleSheet does not work?

I would guess because autoFillBackground is not set to true.
