Custom Toolbar

[JimBrown]

Hi,

I've been asked to extend a legacy Qt 3.2 app by adding a toolbar with six buttons having text labels. I think that I want to use a QToolbar having a QButtonGroup containing the QToolButtons. Before I spend a lot of time looking for how to implement this (the Qt documentation shows how to implement standard toolbars with actions (not buttons) like fileOpenAction, but nothing I saw was close to what I want to do), I thought that I'd ask this forum if I'm on the right track with my design idea.

All comments are appreciated.

Thank you,
Jim Brown

What's wrong with QActions? Anyway you can create widgets on the QToolbar just by setting the toolbar as their parent.

Thanks for the reply. I used QActions in a QActionGroup as a test, but I can't get them to display the text label instead of an icon. Do you know of a way?
