I have never needed so far to use addWidget() for a QToolBar. However I thought about it to add my own custom "Segmented PushButton Widget" to a toolbar. That would not be possible then. However I just saw how others do it, e.g. in the Java FX world: http://fxexperience.com/2012/02/customized-segmented-toolbar-buttons/ (I am not saying that this is the best possible solution - but you get the idea what I mean with "Segmented Button") So they basically take a bunch of normal Buttons to a HBox layout (within a ToolBar) and apply some CSS wizardy to it: squeezing all buttons together and add rounded corners to the first and last Button. So coming back to our QtMacUnifiedToolBar (or to QToolBar in general): would a similar approach be possible, that is without implementing a custom "MySegmentedToolBarButton" and addWidget(), but by merely playing around with the layout of the added QActions? I imagine something like making them adjacent to each other (without any gap), and provide the proper icons would already be fine (I mean that I am responsible myself that the right and left outermost buttons would have the proper rounded icon). If that is the case personally I would not miss the addWidget() functionality. > Here's a snippet from sample code using the new toolbar class: > > QtMacUnifiedToolBar toolBar; So I found this: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/04/08/mac-toolbars-for-qt-quick/ :) I wouldn't mind implementing a "platform-wrapper" across QToolBar and QtMacToolBar which would provide whatever API the application would need (e.g. setting the visibility of the toolbar). I understand QtMacUnifiedToolBar is really an NSToolBar. Now since I am to write platform-dependent code anyway, would it also be easily possible to access the underlying NSToolBar and mess around with it with the Cocoa API, e.g. add a "Cococa segmented buttons widget" (in case that existed anyway, I am not an experienced Cocoa developer at all)? And last but most interesting question for me: is QtMacUnifiedToolBar already present (maybe as a private API only) in the Qt 5 Beta 1, so I can play around with it a little? :) Cheers, Oliver _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
