MenuItemGroup QML Type▲
-
Import Statement: import Qt.labs.platform
-
Since:: Qt 5.8
-
Inherits:: QtObject
Detailed Description▲
The MenuItemGroup groups native menu items together.
MenuItemGroup is exclusive by default. In an exclusive menu item group, only one item can be checked at any time; checking another item automatically unchecks the previously checked one. MenuItemGroup can be configured as non-exclusive, which is particularly useful for showing, hiding, enabling and disabling items together as a group.
The most straight-forward way to use MenuItemGroup is to assign a list of items.
Menu {
id: verticalMenu
title: qsTr("Vertical")
MenuItemGroup {
id: verticalGroup
items: verticalMenu.items
}
MenuItem { text: qsTr("Top"); checkable: true }
MenuItem { text: qsTr("Center"); checked: true }
MenuItem { text: qsTr("Bottom"); checkable: true }
}The same menu may sometimes contain items that should not be included in the same exclusive group. Such cases are best handled using the group property.
Menu {
id: horizontalMenu
title: qsTr("Horizontal")
MenuItemGroup {
id: horizontalGroup
}
MenuItem {
checked: true
text: qsTr("Left")
group: horizontalGroup
}
MenuItem {
checkable: true
text: qsTr("Center")
group: horizontalGroup
}
MenuItem {
text: qsTr("Right")
checkable: true
group: horizontalGroup
}
MenuItem { separator: true }
MenuItem { text: qsTr("Justify"); checkable: true }
MenuItem { text: qsTr("Absolute"); checkable: true }
}More advanced use cases can be handled using the addItem() and removeItem() methods.
Types in Qt.labs modules are not guaranteed to remain compatible in future versions.
