/*!
    \class Q3ToolBar
    \brief The Q3ToolBar class provides a movable panel containing
    widgets such as tool buttons.

    \compat

    A toolbar is a panel that contains a set of controls, usually
    represented by small icons. It's purpose is to provide quick
    access to frequently used commands or options. Within a
    Q3MainWindow the user can drag toolbars within and between the
    \link Q3DockArea dock areas\endlink. Toolbars can also be dragged
    out of any dock area to float freely as top-level windows.

    Q3ToolBar is a specialization of QDockWindow, and so provides all
    the functionality of a QDockWindow.

    To use Q3ToolBar you simply create a Q3ToolBar as a child of a
    Q3MainWindow, create a number of QToolButton widgets (or other
    widgets) in left to right (or top to bottom) order and call
    addSeparator() when you want a separator. When a toolbar is
    floated the caption used is the label given in the constructor
    call. This can be changed with setLabel().

    You may use most widgets within a toolbar, with QToolButton and
    QComboBox being the most common. But note that the toolbar's
    actions must be \l {Q3Action}s.

    If you create a new widget on an already visible Q3ToolBar, this
    widget will automatically become visible without needing a show()
    call. (This differs from every other Qt widget container. We
    recommend calling show() anyway since we hope to fix this anomaly
    in a future release.)

    Q3ToolBars, like QDockWindows, are located in \l{Q3DockArea}s or
    float as top-level windows. Q3MainWindow provides four Q3DockAreas
    (top, left, right and bottom). When you create a new toolbar (as
    in the example above) as a child of a Q3MainWindow the toolbar will
    be added to the top dock area. You can move it to another dock
    area (or float it) by calling Q3MainWindow::moveDockWindow(). Dock
    areas lay out their windows in lines.

    If the main window is resized so that the area occupied by the
    toolbar is too small to show all its widgets a little arrow button
    (which looks like a right-pointing chevron, '&#187;') will appear
    at the right or bottom of the toolbar depending on its
    orientation. Clicking this button pops up a menu that shows the
    'overflowing' items. QToolButtons are represented in the menu using
    their textLabel property, other QAbstractButton subclasses are represented
    using their text property, and QComboBoxes are represented as submenus,
    with the caption text being used in the submenu item.

    Usually a toolbar will get precisely the space it needs. However,
    with setHorizontalStretchable(), setVerticalStretchable() or
    setStretchableWidget() you can tell the main window to expand the
    toolbar to fill all available space in the specified orientation.

    The toolbar arranges its buttons either horizontally or vertically
    (see orientation() for details). Generally, Q3DockArea will set the
    orientation correctly for you, but you can set it yourself with
    setOrientation() and track any changes by connecting to the
    orientationChanged() signal.

    You can use the clear() method to remove all items from a toolbar.

/* from chaunsee:

1.  Tool Bars should contain only high-frequency functions.  Avoid putting
things like About and Exit on a tool bar unless they are frequent functions.

2.  All tool bar buttons must have some keyboard access method (it can be a
menu or shortcut key or a function in a dialog box that can be accessed
through the keyboard).

3.  Make tool bar functions as efficient as possible (the common example is to
Print in Microsoft applications, it doesn't bring up the Print dialog box, it
prints immediately to the default printer).

4.  Avoid turning tool bars into graphical menu bars.  To me, a tool bar should
be efficient. Once you make almost all the items in a tool bar into graphical
pull-down menus, you start to lose efficiency.

5.  Make sure that adjacent icons are distinctive. There are some tool bars
where you see a group of 4-5 icons that represent related functions, but they
are so similar that you can't differentiate among them.         These tool bars are
often a poor attempt at a "common visual language".

6.  Use any de facto standard icons of your platform (for windows use the
cut, copy and paste icons provided in dev kits rather than designing your
own).

7.  Avoid putting a highly destructive tool bar button (delete database) by a
safe, high-frequency button (Find) -- this will yield 1-0ff errors).

8.  Tooltips in many Microsoft products simply reiterate the menu text even
when that is not explanatory.  Consider making your tooltips slightly more
verbose and explanatory than the corresponding menu item.

9.  Keep the tool bar as stable as possible when you click on different
objects. Consider disabling tool bar buttons if they are used in most, but not
all contexts.

10.  If you have multiple tool bars (like the Microsoft MMC snap-ins have),
put the most stable tool bar to at the left with less stable ones to the
right. This arrangement (stable to less stable) makes the tool bar somewhat
more predictable.

11.  Keep a single tool bar to fewer than 20 items divided into 4-7 groups of
items.
