Center a QLabel in a Qwidget

[maria.v]

I want to do like a toolbar, 3 buttons on the left and a label in the middle of the screen, no matter the size of my app.

I tried to do this with QToolBar but can't add a QLabel, so I'm trying with a QWidget.

My QWidget has Horizontal Layout, and I added 3 QPushButton and a QLabel.

How can I center the QLabel to always stay in the middle?

I have tried different things, like putting the three buttons in a widget and the label in another widget and play with the layouts and size constrains but I haven't achieved it

Hi,

Out of curiosity, why not use the toolbar feature of QMainWindow for that ?

I tried but I couldn't add a label. Is that possible?

Well, I saw that I could do something like

ui->mainToolBar->addWidget(new QLabel("MY LABEL"));,

But have the same problem of centering the label

Okay! I research a little bit more and found what I was looking for. Example code:

    QLabel* label = new QLabel("MY LABEL");
    label->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

    QHBoxLayout* layout = new QHBoxLayout();
    layout->addWidget(label, Qt::AlignCenter);

    QWidget* wid = new QWidget;
    wid->setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
    wid->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Preferred);
    wid->setLayout(layout);

    QToolButton* p_butt_1 = new QToolButton;
    QToolButton* p_butt_2 = new QToolButton;
    QToolButton* p_butt_3 = new QToolButton;

    setStyleSheet("QToolButton { border: 1px solid magenta; }"); // Just for visibility in this example

    label->setStyleSheet("border: 1px solid blue;"
                        "background-color: yellow;");

    ui->mainToolBar->addWidget(p_butt_1);
    ui->mainToolBar->addWidget(p_butt_2);
    ui->mainToolBar->addWidget(wid);
    ui->mainToolBar->addWidget(p_butt_3);
