Detailed Description

The QMenuBar class provides a horizontal menu bar.

A menu bar consists of a list of pull-down menu items. You add menu items with addMenu(). For example, asuming that menubar is a pointer to a QMenuBar and fileMenu is a pointer to a QMenu, the following statement inserts the menu into the menu bar:

 menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);

The ampersand in the menu item's text sets Alt+F as a shortcut for this menu. (You can use "&&" to get a real ampersand in the menu bar.)

There is no need to lay out a menu bar. It automatically sets its own geometry to the top of the parent widget and changes it appropriately whenever the parent is resized.

In most main window style applications you would use the menuBar() provided in QMainWindow, adding QMenus to the menu bar and adding QActions to the popup menus.

Example (from the Menus example):

     fileMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(tr("&File"));
     fileMenu->addAction(newAct);

Menu items may be removed with removeAction().

Platform Dependent Look and Feel

Different platforms have different requirements for the appearance of menu bars and their behavior when the user interacts with them. For example, Windows systems are often configured so that the underlined character mnemonics that indicate keyboard shortcuts for items in the menu bar are only shown when the Alt key is pressed.

A menubar shown in the Plastique widget style.The Plastique widget style, like most other styles, handles the Help menu in the same way as it handles any other menu.
A menubar shown in the Motif widget style.The Motif widget style treats Help menus in a special way, placing them at right-hand end of the menu bar.

QMenuBar on Qt/Mac

QMenuBar on Qt/Mac is a wrapper for using the system-wide menubar. If you have multiple menubars in one dialog the outermost menubar (normally inside a widget with widget flag Qt::Window) will be used for the system-wide menubar.

Qt/Mac also provides a menubar merging feature to make QMenuBar conform more closely to accepted Mac OS X menubar layout. The merging functionality is based on string matching the title of a QMenu entry. These strings are translated (using QObject::tr()) in the "QMenuBar" context. If an entry is moved its slots will still fire as if it was in the original place. The table below outlines the strings looked for and where the entry is placed if matched:

String matchesPlacementNotes
about.*Application Menu | About <application name>If this entry is not found no About item will appear in the Application Menu
config, options, setup, settings or preferencesApplication Menu | PreferencesIf this entry is not found the Settings item will be disabled
quit or exitApplication Menu | Quit <application name>If this entry is not found a default Quit item will be created to call QApplication::quit()

You can override this behavior by using the QAction::menuRole() property.

If you wish to make all windows in a Mac application share the same menubar, you need to create a menu bar that does not have a parent. The menubar is created like this:

   QMenuBar *menuBar = new QMenuBar(0);

Note: The text used for the application name in the menu bar is obtained from the value set in the Info.plist file in the application's bundle. See Deploying an Application on Qt/Mac for more information.

Examples

The Menus example shows how to use QMenuBar and QMenu. The other main window application examples also provide menus using these classes.

Property Documentation

defaultUp : bool

This property holds the popup orientation.

The default popup orientation. By default, menus pop "down" the screen. By setting the property to true, the menu will pop "up". You might call this for menus that are below the document to which they refer.

If the menu would not fit on the screen, the other direction is used automatically.

Access functions:

  • bool isDefaultUp () const
  • void setDefaultUp ( bool )

Member Function Documentation

QMenuBar::QMenuBar ( QWidget * parent = 0 )

Constructs a menu bar with parent parent.

QMenuBar::~QMenuBar ()

Destroys the menu bar.

QAction * QMenuBar::activeAction () const

Returns the QAction that is currently highlighted. A null pointer will be returned if no action is currently selected.

See also setActiveAction().

QAction * QMenuBar::addAction ( const QString & text )

This convenience function creates a new action with text. The function adds the newly created action to the menu's list of actions, and returns it.

See also QWidget::addAction().

QAction * QMenuBar::addAction ( const QString & text, const QObject * receiver, const char * member )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

This convenience function creates a new action with the given text. The action's triggered() signal is connected to the receiver's member slot. The function adds the newly created action to the menu's list of actions and returns it.

See also QWidget::addAction().

QAction * QMenuBar::addMenu ( QMenu * menu )

Appends menu to the menubar. Returns the menu's menuAction().

See also QWidget::addAction() and QMenu::menuAction().

QMenu * QMenuBar::addMenu ( const QString & title )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Appends a new QMenu with title to the menubar. The menubar takes ownership of the menu. Returns the new menu.

See also QWidget::addAction() and QMenu::menuAction().

QMenu * QMenuBar::addMenu ( const QIcon & icon, const QString & title )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Appends a new QMenu with icon and title to the menubar. The menubar takes ownership of the menu. Returns the new menu.

See also QWidget::addAction() and QMenu::menuAction().

QAction * QMenuBar::addSeparator ()

Appends a separator to the menu.

void QMenuBar::clear ()

Removes all the actions from the menu bar.

See also removeAction().

void QMenuBar::hovered ( QAction * action )   [signal]

This signal is emitted when a menu action is highlighted; action is the action that caused the event to be sent.

Often this is used to update status information.

See also triggered() and QAction::hovered().

QAction * QMenuBar::insertMenu ( QAction * before, QMenu * menu )

This convenience function inserts menu before action before and returns the menus menuAction().

See also QWidget::insertAction() and addMenu().

QAction * QMenuBar::insertSeparator ( QAction * before )

This convenience function creates a new separator action, i.e. an action with QAction::isSeparator() returning true. The function inserts the newly created action into this menubar's list of actions before action before and returns it.

See also QWidget::insertAction() and addSeparator().

void QMenuBar::setActiveAction ( QAction * act )

Sets the currently highlighted action to act.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also activeAction().

void QMenuBar::triggered ( QAction * action )   [signal]

This signal is emitted when a menu action is selected; action is the action that caused the event to be sent.

Normally, you connect each menu action to a single slot using QAction::triggered(), but sometimes you will want to connect several items to a single slot (most often if the user selects from an array). This signal is useful in such cases.

See also hovered() and QAction::triggered().
