# KToolBar Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kdeui import *`

Inherits: QToolBar → QWidget → QObject

## Detailed Description

Floatable toolbar with auto resize.

A KDE-style toolbar.

KToolBar can be used as a standalone widget, but KMainWindow provides easy factories and management of one or more toolbars.

KToolBar uses a global config group to load toolbar settings on construction. It will reread this config group on a KApplication.appearanceChanged() signal.

## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QWidget | parent,
|  | bool | isMainToolBar=0,
|  | bool | readConfig=1
| ) |  |  |

Constructor.

This constructor takes care of adding the toolbar to the mainwindow, if parent is a QMainWindow.

Normally KDE applications do not call this directly, they either call KMainWindow.toolBar(name), or they use XML-GUI and specify toolbars using XML.

Parameters:

  | parent | The standard toolbar parent (usually a KMainWindow)
  | isMainToolBar | True for the "main toolbar", false for other toolbars. Different settings apply.
  | readConfig | whether to apply the configuration (global and application-specific)

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | objectName,
|  | QMainWindow | parentWindow,
|  | Qt::ToolBarArea | area,
|  | bool | newLine=0,
|  | bool | isMainToolBar=0,
|  | bool | readConfig=1
| ) |  |  |

Alternate constructor with additional arguments, e.g. to choose in which area the toolbar should be auto-added. This is rarely used in KDE. When using XMLGUI you can specify this as an xml attribute instead.

Parameters:

  | objectName | The QObject name of this toolbar, required so that QMainWindow can save and load the toolbar position
  | parentWindow | The window that should be the parent of this toolbar
  | area | The position of the toolbar. Usually Qt.TopToolBarArea.
  | newLine | If true, start a new line in the dock for this toolbar.
  | isMainToolBar | True for the "main toolbar", false for other toolbars. Different settings apply.
  | readConfig | whether to apply the configuration (global and application-specific)

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | objectName,
|  | QWidget | parent,
|  | bool | readConfig=1
| ) |  |  |

Constructor.

This constructor takes care of adding the toolbar to the mainwindow, if parent is a QMainWindow.

Normally KDE applications do not call this directly, they either call KMainWindow.toolBar(name), or they use XML-GUI and specify toolbars using XML.

Parameters:

  | objectName | The QObject name of this toolbar, required so that QMainWindow can save and load the toolbar position, and so that KToolBar can find out if it's the main toolbar.
  | parent | The standard toolbar parent (usually a KMainWindow)
  | readConfig | whether to apply the configuration (global and application-specific)

actionEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QActionEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

applySettings | ( | self, |
|  | KConfigGroup | cg,
|  | bool | forceGlobal=0
| ) |  |  |

Read the toolbar settings from group configGroup in config and apply them.

Parameters:

  | forceGlobal | is deprecated. In kde3 it used to mean "force global settings, i.e. ignore cg", but only for visibility/position/index, not for icon size etc. Only visibility is still controlled by this.

bool contextMenuEnabled | ( |  | self ) |

Returns the context menu enabled flag

Returns:
  true if the context menu is disabled

Deprecated:
  use contextMenuPolicy

contextMenuEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QContextMenuEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

dragEnterEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QDragEnterEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

dragLeaveEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QDragLeaveEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

dragMoveEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QDragMoveEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

dropEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QDropEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

bool eventFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QObject | watched,
|  | QEvent | event
| ) |  |  |

Reimplemented to support context menu activation on disabled tool buttons.

int iconSizeDefault | ( |  | self ) |

Returns the default size for this type of toolbar.

Returns:
  the default size for this type of toolbar.

loadState | ( | self, |
|  | QDomElement | element
| ) |  |  |

Load state from an XML

Parameters:

  | element, | called by KXMLGUIBuilder.

KMainWindow mainWindow | ( |  | self ) |

Returns the main window that this toolbar is docked with.

mouseMoveEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QMouseEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

mousePressEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QMouseEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

mouseReleaseEvent | ( | self, |
|  | QMouseEvent | a0
| ) |  |  |

saveSettings | ( | self, |
|  | KConfigGroup | cg
| ) |  |  |

Save the toolbar settings to group configGroup in config.

saveState | ( | self, |
|  | QDomElement | element
| ) |  |  |

Save state into an XML

Parameters:

  | element, | called by KXMLGUIBuilder.

setContextMenuEnabled | ( | self, |
|  | bool | enable=1
| ) |  |  |

This allows you to enable or disable the context menu.

Parameters:

  | enable | If false, then the context menu will be disabled

Deprecated:
  use setContextMenuPolicy

|  | int | size
| ) |  |  |

|  | bool | movable
| ) |  |  |

## Static Method Documentation

setToolBarsEditable | ( | bool | editable
| ) |  |  |

Enable or disable toolbar editing via drag & drop of actions. This is called by KEditToolbar and should generally be set to disabled whenever KEditToolbar is not active.

setToolBarsLocked | ( | bool | locked
| ) |  |  |

Allows you to lock and unlock all toolbars (i.e., disallow/allow moving of the toobars).

bool toolBarsEditable | ( |  | ) |

Returns whether the toolbars are currently editable (drag & drop of actions).

bool toolBarsLocked | ( |  | ) |

Returns whether the toolbars are locked (i.e., moving of the toobars disallowed).
