How do I add a QSpacerItem to a toolbar?

[di_zou]

Since a QSpacerItem does not inherit QWidget, I can't use addWidget(). So how do I add a spacer to a toolbar?

You can use QToolBar's addSeparator() or insertSeparator().

All addSeperator() did was add this little vertical line. I was hoping to add more space and have the ability to customize the scaling and such.

Add an empty QLabel. The only downside of this I found so far is that you wont be able to move the window around on macos when clicking on that empty space made by the label.

Add a QWidget instead of a QSpacerItem, set the size policy on the spacer and add the widget to the toolbar.


QWidget* spacer = new QWidget();
spacer->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);
// toolBar is a pointer to an existing toolbar
toolBar->addWidget(spacer);
