toolbar initial position

[baray98]

I added a toolbar in a QMainWindow and wanted to have an initial position at Qt::BottomToolBarArea. I setAllowedAreas to that but this toolbar is always at the Qt::TopToolBarArea.

Is there any other way to set inital position of the tool bar?

QToolBar *toolBar = new QToolBar(this);
    toolBar->setAllowedAreas( Qt::BottomToolBarArea);
    setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);

QToolBar *toolBar = new QToolBar(this);
    toolBar->setAllowedAreas( Qt::BottomToolBarArea);
    setToolButtonStyle(Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);

Try this:

QToolBar *toolBar = new QToolBar(this);
mainWindow->addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea, toolBar);

QToolBar *toolBar = new QToolBar(this);
mainWindow->addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea, toolBar);

it is still on the top area of the windows after adding

addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea,toolBar);

addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea,toolBar);

Which version of Qt are you using?

[baray98]

Qt 4.3.1 commercial version

That's impossible.
Have you added any actions to the toolbar?
Try:

toolbar->addAction("1");
toolbar->addAction("2");
toolbar->addAction("3");
toolbar->addAction("4");

toolbar->addAction("1");
toolbar->addAction("2");
toolbar->addAction("3");
toolbar->addAction("4");

after adding it to the main window.

With a default setup( you said you have qt commercial), the toolbar will be placed just above the status bar.

If the toolbar has no actions, it is hard to notice it. Also, an empty menu bar looks just like an empty toolbar, so you might have got the wrong impression.

Please try the following code:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QToolBar>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMainWindow mw;
  QToolBar *tb = new QToolBar(&mw);
  tb->addAction("a1");
  tb->addAction("a2");
  mw.addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea, tb);
  mw.show();
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QToolBar>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMainWindow mw;
  QToolBar *tb = new QToolBar(&mw);
  tb->addAction("a1");
  tb->addAction("a2");
  mw.addToolBar(Qt::BottomToolBarArea, tb);
  mw.show();
  return app.exec();
}
