[Paraview-developers] QToolBar plugin for ParaView

[David Thompson]

Hi Utkarsh,

If plugins were simply passed the QMainWindow then not only could you add toolbars and menus yourself, but you could do other things. One example is calling QMainWindow::setDockNestingEnabled(true). But I haven't seen a way to expose QMainWindow that makes the basic stuff (adding toolbars/menus) as simple as the existing PV plugins.

That looks good to me, I'll close my MR.

	Thanks,
