Aligning QMenuBar items (add some on left and some on right side)

Currently I have QMenuBar with three QActions and it looks like this:

but I would like to get this (get some QActions right-aligned):

Is there a way to do this?

Solution

  • Well one possible solution is here. But it involves implementing your own style (QStyle as I recall). However here is a snippet that I have just tried on mainwindow class:

    MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)  {  

ui->setupUi(this);

QMenuBar *barLeft = new QMenuBar; 
QMenuBar *barRight = new QMenuBar;

barLeft->addAction("Foo Left 1");
barLeft->addAction("Foo Left 2");
barRight->addAction("Foo Left 1");
barRight->addAction("Foo Left 2");

QHBoxLayout *mainMenuLayout = new QHBoxLayout;

mainMenuLayout->addWidget(barLeft);
mainMenuLayout->addWidget(barRight);

mainMenuLayout->setAlignment(barLeft, Qt::AlignLeft);
mainMenuLayout->setAlignment(barRight, Qt::AlignRight);

QWidget *central = new QWidget;
central->setLayout(mainMenuLayout);

setCentralWidget(central);

    }

    This should be suitable.
