Qt C++ QToolBox: How to add checkbox/button to title

I would like to add checkbox or button into the toolbox's title and if it's checked then some action should be done (SINGAL - SLOT?). Is this possible or there is some other widget which provides that ability?

Solution

  • No, QToolBox doesn't support adding widgets to titles. A title can only contain a text.

    However QToolBox is easy to implement. Just add QVBoxLayout, put titlebars and widgets in it. Then use titlebar's onclick events to call setVisible() on widgets to hide or show it. You may need to create separate form for titlebar, put your buttons inside it and reimplement QWidget::mousePressEvent to catch clicks. Then promote the main form's titlebar widgets to this class.
