It's purpose is to provide quick +access to frequently used commands or options. Within a +<a href="tqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> the user can drag toolbars within and between the +<a href="ntqdockarea.html">dock areas</a>. Toolbars can also be dragged +out of any dock area to float freely as top-level windows. +<p> TQToolBar is a specialization of <a href="ntqdockwindow.html">TQDockWindow</a>, and so provides all +the functionality of a TQDockWindow. +<p> To use TQToolBar you simply create a TQToolBar as a child of a +TQMainWindow, create a number of <a href="tqtoolbutton.html">TQToolButton</a> widgets (or other +widgets) in left to right (or top to bottom) order and call +<a href="#addSeparator">addSeparator</a>() when you want a separator. When a toolbar is +floated the caption used is the label given in the constructor +call. This can be changed with <a href="#setLabel">setLabel</a>(). +<p> + +<pre> TQToolBar * fileTools = new TQToolBar( this, "file operations" ); + fileTools-><a href="#setLabel">setLabel</a>( "File Operations" ); + fileOpenAction-><a href="tqaction.html#addTo">addTo</a>( fileTools ); + fileSaveAction-><a href="tqaction.html#addTo">addTo</a>( fileTools ); +</pre> +<p> This extract from the <a href="simple-application-example.html">application/application.cpp</a> example shows +the creation of a new toolbar as a child of a <a href="tqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> and +adding two TQActions. +<p> You may use most widgets within a toolbar, with TQToolButton and +<a href="ntqcombobox.html">TQComboBox</a> being the most common. +<p> If you create a new widget on an already visible TQToolBar, this +widget will automatically become visible without needing a <a href="tqwidget.html#show">show</a>() +call. (This differs from every other TQt widget container. We +recommend calling show() anyway since we hope to fix this anomaly +in a future release.) +<p> TQToolBars, like TQDockWindows, are located in <a href="ntqdockarea.html">TQDockArea</a>s or +float as top-level windows. TQMainWindow provides four TQDockAreas +(top, left, right and bottom). When you create a new toolbar (as +in the example above) as a child of a TQMainWindow the toolbar will +be added to the top dock area. You can move it to another dock +area (or float it) by calling <a href="tqmainwindow.html#moveDockWindow">TQMainWindow::moveDockWindow</a>(). TQDock +areas lay out their windows in <a href="ntqdockarea.html#lines">Lines</a>. +<p> If the main window is resized so that the area occupied by the +toolbar is too small to show all its widgets a little arrow button +(which looks like a right-pointing chevron, '»') will appear +at the right or bottom of the toolbar depending on its +orientation. Clicking this button pops up a menu that shows the +'overflowing' items. TQToolButtons are represented in the menu using +their textLabel property, other <a href="ntqbutton.html">TQButton</a> subclasses are represented +using their text property, and TQComboBoxes are represented as submenus, +with the caption text being used in the submenu item. +<p> Usually a toolbar will get precisely the space it needs. However, +with <a href="ntqdockwindow.html#setHorizontalStretchable">setHorizontalStretchable</a>(), <a href="ntqdockwindow.html#setVerticalStretchable">setVerticalStretchable</a>() or +<a href="#setStretchableWidget">setStretchableWidget</a>() you can tell the main window to expand the +toolbar to fill all available space in the specified orientation. +<p> The toolbar arranges its buttons either horizontally or vertically +(see <a href="ntqdockwindow.html#orientation">orientation</a>() for details). Generally, <a href="ntqdockarea.html">TQDockArea</a> will set the +orientation correctly for you, but you can set it yourself with +<a href="ntqdockwindow.html#setOrientation">setOrientation</a>() and track any changes by connecting to the +<a href="ntqdockwindow.html#orientationChanged">orientationChanged</a>() signal. +<p> You can use the <a href="#clear">clear</a>() method to remove all items from a toolbar. +<p> <center><img src="qdockwindow.png" alt="Toolbar (dock window)"></center> <blockquote><p align="center"><em> A floating TQToolbar (dock window) +</em></p> +</blockquote><p> <p>See also <a href="tqtoolbutton.html">TQToolButton</a>, <a href="tqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a>, <a href="http://www.iarchitect.com/visual.htm">Parts of Isys on Visual Design</a>, <a href="guibooks.html#fowler">GUI Design Handbook: Tool Bar</a>, and <a href="application.html">Main Window and Related Classes</a>. + +<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> +<h3 class=fn><a name="TQToolBar"></a>TQToolBar::TQToolBar ( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> & label, <a href="tqmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> *, ToolBarDock = DockTop, bool newLine = FALSE, const char * name = 0 ) +</h3> + +<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working.
