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

Question

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?

Answer 1

Probably the most simple solution to this particular problem is to use the corner widget. It can be used to place almost anything at the rightmost position, of course also a new menu bar:

QMenuBar *bar = new QMenuBar(ui->menuBar);

QMenu *menu = new QMenu("Test menu", bar);
bar->addMenu(menu);

QAction *action = new QAction("Test action", bar);
bar->addAction(action);

ui->menuBar->setCornerWidget(bar);

Result:

This is esp. helpful when the main menu is still to be edited in QDesigner...
