QToolbar toolbutton layout

[musimbate]

Hi all,
I am trying to design a toolbar in a grid shape like "this":http://www.google.com/imgres?q=grid+toolbar&start=108&newwindow=1&biw=1440&bih=770&tbm=isch&tbnid=WcUgzmLiLn00lM:&imgrefurl=http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/reaper/deck-the-halls-with-reaper&docid=CanQCrcBK_1EXM&imgurl=http://macprovid.vo.llnwd.net/o43/hub/media/1080/7845/10_Grid_and_Snap_Enabled.jpg&w=561&h=237&ei=NfSfUbjiIaHuigLJioGACw&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:8,s:100,i:28&iact=rc&dur=308&page=6&tbnh=143&tbnw=340&ndsp=22&tx=235&ty=76 .I have created a QGridLayout and stuffed my actions in but I am getting strange results. I also want to have some kind of rounded border on each button group.QToolbar seems not to be flexible with layouts.Is there any standard way of achieving this?

Thanks.

If it is an option, you can take a look at "QtQuickControls":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-stable/qtquickcontrols/qtquickcontrols-index.html made available in Qt5.1, in particular, at the "ToolBar":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-stable/qtquickcontrols/qml-qtquick-controls1-toolbar.html element.
As the ToolBar element does not specify inner layout, it needs to be added explicitly, which is actually a benefit in your case. You can specify a Grid inside and lay the buttons to your liking.

@ApplicationWindow {
width: 300
height: 200

toolBar: ToolBar {
    Grid {
        ToolButton {
            id: button1
            text: "1st button"
        }
        ToolButton {
            id: button2
            text: "2nd button"
        }
        ToolButton {
            id: button3
            text: "3rd button"
        }
        ToolButton {
            id: button4
            text: "4th button"
        }
        ToolButton {
            id: button5
            text: "5th button"
        }
        ToolButton {
            id: button6
            text: "6th button"
        }
        ToolButton {
            id: button7
            text: "7th button"
        }
    }
}

}

Creating and styling a button group will be a matter of styling the Grid (or Row or Column, whichever you use). You might also find "Action":http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-stable/qtquickcontrols/qml-qtquick-controls1-action.html element useful, especially when adding keyboard shortcuts or menu bar for commands already in the button grid.

Thanks Alek Śmierciak for your reply.The application I am working on is done in Qt 4 ,unfortunately this is not an option for me.Guess I ll keep looking for a possible solution.
Cheers!
