I work on a project that currently I use 3 toolbars in my main window:
The first is the mainToolbar that occupies the upper pos of the window.
And the other two I want them to be placed like this:

Both on the left side, adjacent to each other vertically.
On my init method i write:

Code: Select all

    m_toolbar1= toolBar("mainToolBar");
    m_toolbar2 = toolBar("itemToolBar");
    m_toolbar3 = toolBar("actionToolBar");
    m_toolbar2->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonIconOnly);
    m_toolbar2->setIconSize(QSize(20,20));
    addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea,m_toolbar2);
    m_toolbar3->setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonIconOnly);
    m_toolbar3->setIconSize(QSize(20,20));
    m_toolbar3->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftToolBarArea);
    addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea,m_toolbar3);


but they are placed like this:

The second one down from the other.

How can I set them to be like the first screenshot programmatically?

PS. The first screenshot is achieved by moving the third when running the program on the left of the other toolbar, with the mouse.


Thank you in advance.

This is because there is sufficient space remaining for the second toolbar to fit. In order to achieve what you desire, you need to make the first toolbar consume all available space, then it will hopefully do what you wish.

No, I don't think this is a solution. If you grow the size of a toolbar tou much, you will end up with two small arrows on it's bottom to scroll it.

You may wish to look at toolbar breaks, which may provide the needed functionality,

Yes , you are right. I didn't notice the existence of insertToolbarBreak
If I call it on the second m_toolbar , it "breaks" to a second column like the picture above.
Thanks. :p:D
