QToolbar stylesheet

Gianluca86

Hello everyone, when a toolbar has too many buttons or resizing the window, you see a button to display the missing buttons. (See image below)

I wanted to know if it is possible to increase the width. Looking at the documentation I found nothing, maybe I have not tried the exact name.
Thank you

This you can do using set Geometry, toolbar->setGeometry(x,y,width,height)

Are you looking some thing like resize the toolbar basing on the mainWindow size? or fixed width of toolbar?

No, maybe I explained badly. I will not enlarge the toolbar, but the size of the ">>" button that is circled in red in the image.

example QSS selector:

QToolBar > QToolBarExtension#qt_toolbar_ext_button {
    ...
}

now you can play around with the min-width, margin, etc properties

I tried:

MainToolBar.setStyleSheet("QToolBar > QToolBarExtension#qt_toolbar_ext_button { background-color: red; min-width: 28px;}");

It seems to work, but cuts the button.

ah sorry my fault.
This can't be achieved with QSS only.
You would need to subclass QProxyStyle and reimplement pixelMetric().
In there return the desired value for QStyle::PM_ToolBarExtensionExtent

But i am afraid you can't use QProxyStyle in combination with stylesheets (anywhere in the parent hierarchy), since they rid themselves out mutually.

Ok, I tried this:

// MyStyle.h
#include <QStyle>

class MyStyle : public QStyle
{
public:
    MyStyle();
    virtual int pixelMetric(PixelMetric pm, const QStyleOption* option, const QWidget* widget) const ;
};

// MYStyle.cpp
#include "MyStyle.h"

MyStyle::MyStyle()
{

}

int MyStyle::pixelMetric(PixelMetric pm, const QStyleOption* option, const QWidget* widget) const
{
  if (pm == QStyle::PM_ToolBarExtensionExtent)
    return 50; 
  return QStyle::pixelMetric(pm, option, widget);
}

Is it correct?

The line

return QStyle::pixelMetric(pm, option, widget);

give me this error:
error: undefined reference to `QStyle::pixelMetric(QStyle::PixelMetric, QStyleOption const*, QWidget const*) const'
