Is it possible to add toolbuttons in title bar of MainWindow?

Tabi

I want to add tool buttons to the title bar of the QMainWindow. But I found there is no any direct method to do that. Any suggestion to do this?

since the window frame is handled by the OS you don't have a chance to add it with Qt yet.
You will need to implement your own window frame with Qt widgets to do so.

Oh thank you. Means setting FramelessWindowHint and then have to make frame. :|

you can make a custom toolbar widget and add it. i have worked on something simlar and so this may work

raven-worx

exactly.

Found "this ":http://www.codeproject.com/articles/415102/winforms-form-skin(for windows) on the web.
You may want to "add a feature request":https://bugreports.qt-project.org and hope it will be implemented in QtWindowsExtras module sometime :)

You can also implement it and add a merge request to Qt :-)

raven :) thanks alot for the link that is exactly I wanted. Though the code seems a bit more than what I wanted but I am going to dig it to get the idea.
Also Thanks for link for feature request and idea of Qt Windows Extras but I checked it is not available in 4.8.10 that is I am using, anyways in future it will be a point to keep in mind. Thanks again.
