how to use QWinThumbnailToolBar with QMainWindow

I want to try QWinThumbnailToolBar in Qt 5.2 but it doesn't work !(Program runs but there is no thumbnail !!!!)

//main.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();

    return a.exec();
}


//mainwindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QWinThumbnailToolButton>
#include <QWinThumbnailToolBar>

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QWinThumbnailToolBar* thumbnailToolBar;
    QWinThumbnailToolButton *playToolButton;
    QWinThumbnailToolButton *forwardToolButton;
    QWinThumbnailToolButton *backwardToolButton;
};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H


//mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

    thumbnailToolBar = new QWinThumbnailToolBar(this);
    thumbnailToolBar->setWindow(this->windowHandle());

    playToolButton = new QWinThumbnailToolButton(thumbnailToolBar);
    playToolButton->setEnabled(false);
    playToolButton->setToolTip(tr("true"));
    playToolButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaPlay));

    forwardToolButton = new QWinThumbnailToolButton(thumbnailToolBar);
    forwardToolButton->setEnabled(true);
    forwardToolButton->setToolTip(tr("Fast forward"));
    forwardToolButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_TrashIcon));

    backwardToolButton = new QWinThumbnailToolButton(thumbnailToolBar);
    backwardToolButton->setEnabled(true);
    backwardToolButton->setToolTip(tr("Rewind"));
    backwardToolButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaSeekBackward));

    thumbnailToolBar->addButton(backwardToolButton);
    thumbnailToolBar->addButton(playToolButton);
    thumbnailToolBar->addButton(forwardToolButton);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

//pro file :

QT       += core gui winextras multimedia

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = untitled1
TEMPLATE = app


SOURCES += main.cpp\
        mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS  += mainwindow.h

FORMS    += mainwindow.ui

I think the problem is with these two line : 

 thumbnailToolBar = new QWinThumbnailToolBar(this);
 thumbnailToolBar->setWindow(this->windowHandle());

I also tried to use QWidget instead of QMainWindow... How can I fix it ??

The fix that @Ramez proposed works however I am getting a crash on application shutdown due to the windows extra. Is there something special I need to do myself in the destructor? The QWindow has already been deleted when the QWinThumbnailToolBarPrivate::hasHandle() checks for the handle.

Exception thrown: read access violation.
d was 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFF7F.

QPlatformWindow *QWindow::handle() const
{
    Q_D(const QWindow);
    return d->platformWindow;
}

Stack Trace Below:

Your code to create QWinThumbnailToolBar is correct, the problem is where you create it. I think creating it in the window constructor is the problem (Maybe because the window handle is not ready yet). You can make something like this:

// main.cpp

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    FrmMain w;
    w.show();
    w.createThmbBar();

    return a.exec();
}

Where createThumbBar() is a public function where you create the QWinThumbnailToolBar as in:

// MainWindow.cpp

void MainWindow::createThmbBar()
{
    thumbnailToolBar = new QWinThumbnailToolBar(this);
    thumbnailToolBar->setWindow(this->windowHandle());

    playToolButton = new QWinThumbnailToolButton(thumbnailToolBar);
    playToolButton->setEnabled(false);
    playToolButton->setToolTip(tr("true"));
    playToolButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaPlay));

    forwardToolButton = new QWinThumbnailToolButton(thumbnailToolBar);
    forwardToolButton->setEnabled(true);
    forwardToolButton->setToolTip(tr("Fast forward"));
    forwardToolButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_TrashIcon));

    backwardToolButton = new QWinThumbnailToolButton(thumbnailToolBar);
    backwardToolButton->setEnabled(true);
    backwardToolButton->setToolTip(tr("Rewind"));
    backwardToolButton->setIcon(style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_MediaSeekBackward));

    thumbnailToolBar->addButton(backwardToolButton);
    thumbnailToolBar->addButton(playToolButton);
    thumbnailToolBar->addButton(forwardToolButton);
}

Late answer but hopefully it could help anyone faces the same issue later.
