Detailed Description

ToolBar is a container of application-wide and context sensitive actions and controls, such as navigation buttons and search fields. ToolBar is commonly used as a header or a footer of an ApplicationWindow.

ToolBar does not provide a layout of its own, but requires you to position its contents, for instance by creating a RowLayout. If only a single item is used within the ToolBar, it will resize to fit the implicit size of its contained item. This makes it particularly suitable for use together with layouts.

 ApplicationWindow {
     visible:true

     header: ToolBar {
         RowLayout {
             anchors.fill: parent
             ToolButton {
                 text: qsTr("‹")
                 onClicked: stack.pop()
             }
             Label {
                 text: "Title"
                 elide: Label.ElideRight
                 horizontalAlignment: Qt.AlignHCenter
                 verticalAlignment: Qt.AlignVCenter
                 Layout.fillWidth: true
             }
             ToolButton {
                 text: qsTr("⋮")
                 onClicked: menu.open()
             }
         }
     }

     StackView {
         id: stack
         anchors.fill: parent
     }
 }
