    Default A Photoshop-like Toolbar

    I've tried using QMenu, to generate a list of options like in photoshop toolbar, but I failed to assign the action is selected as visible action in the toolbar or properly mark the last action selected.

    If you do not understand what I mean I want to do what you see in this video between 2:05 and 2:20 minutes:

    Hopefully somebody can help me.

    Thanks

    5. actionB->setCheckable(true);
    6. QAction *actionC = new QAction("CCC", this);
    7. actionC->setCheckable(true);
    8. // only one at a time

    21. button->setDefaultAction(actionA);
    22. button->setMenu(menu);
    23. connect(menu, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction*)), button, SLOT(setDefaultAction(QAction*))); // << magic sauce
    24. // put it on the tool bar
    25. QToolBar *toolBar = new QToolBar(this);
    26. toolBar->addWidget(button);
    27. addToolBar(Qt::TopToolBarArea, toolBar);

    Thank you so much for your help!!

    I add this:

    Qt Code:
    1. button->setPopupMode(QToolButton::MenuButtonPopup);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    In order to add a indepedent arrow button, to show the menu.

    Again Thanks you so much
