Answer 1

I'd do it myself - from scratch. AFAIk none of the existing Qt widgets will give you what you want. However, it should be trivially easy to subclass QWidget and create your own.

Answer 2

Inside your QMainWindow derived class:

QToolBar* pToolBar = new QToolBar(this);

pToolBar->setAllowedAreas(Qt::NoToolBarArea);

pToolbar->setFixedWidth(300);
pToolBar->setFixedHeight(50);

/* add actions to pToolBar here */

addToolBar(Qt::NoToolBarArea, pToolBar);
