Coding

hi all

is there any way to add space in menuBar?

i m using borderless window, and i want to put close button at very right of menubar.

i had done same thing with toolbar, later i added menuBar on window, now i want close button on menuBar (putting it on toolBar doesnt look good)

thanks in advance

regards

I’m not sure if you can add a QSpacerItem on a menu bar (I guess you just mistyped and meant “space” instead of “spacer”?). However you can adjust the geometry of a menu bar. It’s a bit tricky, so here’s the code:

self.menubar=self.menuBar()
self.menubar.setParent(None)
self.menubar.setParent(self)
self.menubar.setGeometry(…

set up your menu before you call this. This works here on Windows. Mac menu bars behave quite differently. Also I’m not quite sure why I have to set the parent first to None and then to self. Without this it wouldn’t always work.

hey robert,

that code is working, but it’s disturbing toolbar alignment, is there any other option to add widget on menubar ?

thanks and regards

hi robert

so by adding extra toolbar did the trick (we can add extra toolbar, i was not aware of it)

instead of adding menubar, i added toolBar at menubar’s position and using

toolbar.addWidget() i called menubar on toolbar

self.toolbar = self.addToolBar(‘toolBar1’)
self.addToolBarBreak(Qt.TopToolBarArea)
self.addToolBar(newTool)

newTool = self.addToolBar(‘toolBar2’)
self.addToolBarBreak(Qt.TopToolBarArea)
self.addToolBar(newTool)

what i wanted, i found by trying this code

thanks and regards
