pyqgistoolbar

There are name of toolbar you can see in :
Finding name of QGIS toolbar in Python?

But, I want to know the name of children of toolbar. For example, the children of mapNavToolBar are touch zoom and pan; pan map; pan map to selection; zoom in; zoom out; etc. Then if we know the name, how to disable in python?

For example to disable menuBar you can type the script :

iface.mainWindow().menuBar().setVisible(False)

But, for the child?

I want to show not all mapNavToolBar, Layers Panel, and menuBar.

First, we can find all object names of the icons in the mapNavToolBar using:

for icon in iface.mapNavToolToolBar().actions(): 
    print icon.objectName()

Decide which ones you want to modify then add them to a list:

icon_list = ['mActionDraw', 'mActionPan', 'mActionZoomIn']

Now, you can either:

  • Hide them:

    for icon in iface.mapNavToolToolBar().actions(): 
    if icon.objectName() in icon_list:
        icon.setVisible(False)

  • Or disable them:

    for icon in iface.mapNavToolToolBar().actions(): 
    if icon.objectName() in icon_list:
        icon.setEnabled(False)
