Solved How to center a QToolBar at QMainWindow?

[xtingray]

Hi,
I have been looking for a solution for this question in several forums and I have found several approaches but I didn't like any of them.
Using this line I can set my toolbar in the bottom of my app:

addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea, myToolbar); 

But it is always left-aligned, is there a way to set it in the middle of that bottom panel? Also, Is there a way to make it look similar to the dock of the OSX desktop?

Thanks!

To keep it simple you can insert two expanding dummies at the start and end of the toolbar:

auto dummy1 = new QWidget(this);
dummy1->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
auto dummy2 = new QWidget(this);
dummy2->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);

auto tb = new QToolBar();
tb->addWidget(dummy1);
tb->addAction("foo");
tb->addAction("bar");
tb->addAction("bazz");
tb->addWidget(dummy2);

addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea, tb);

Thanks! It worked perfect for me :)

PS: I still miss the day you could do something like:

addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea|Qt::CenterToolBarArea , myToolbar);

Toolbar area in main window and buttons alignment within a toolbar are two entirely separate concepts so it wouldn't make sense to put these two options together.
Would be nice however if there was something like QToolBar::setAlignment(Qt::Alignment), although toolbars can be placed on the sides too, so directions become a little fuzzy.
