KDAB's Qt Widget for the Mac Touch Bar

The KDMacTouchBar class wraps the native NSTouchBar class.

KDMacTouchBar provides a Qt-based API for NSTouchBar. The touchbar displays a number of QActions. Each QAction can have a text and an icon. Alternatively, the QActions might be separators (with or without text) or QWidgetActions.

Add actions by calling addAction(). Alternatively, you can use one of the convenience methods like addDialogButtonBox() or addTabBar() which provide common use cases.

If an action with a associated menu is added, its menu items are added as sub-touchbar. Showing sub-menus of this menu is not supported, due to macOS system restrictions.

QMainWindow *mw = ...;
KDMacTouchBar *touchBar = new KDMacTouchBar(mw);
touchBar->addAction(actionNewFile);
touchBar->addSeparator();
touchBar->addAction(actionSaveFile);
