public class QMenu
extends QWidget

The QMenu class provides a menu widget for use in menu bars, context menus, and other popup menus. A menu widget is a selection menu. It can be either a pull-down menu in a menu bar or a standalone context menu. Pull-down menus are shown by the menu bar when the user clicks on the respective item or presses the specified shortcut key. Use QMenuBar::addMenu() to insert a menu into a menu bar. Context menus are usually invoked by some special keyboard key or by right-clicking. They can be executed either asynchronously with popup() or synchronously with exec(). Menus can also be invoked in response to button presses; these are just like context menus except for how they are invoked.







A menu shown in Plastique widget style, Windows XP widget style, and Macintosh widget style.
A menu consists of a list of action items. Actions are added with addAction(). An action is represented vertically and rendered by QStyle. In addition, actions can have a text label, an optional icon drawn on the very left side, and shortcut key sequence such as "Ctrl+X".

There are three kinds of action items: separators, actions that show a submenu, and actions that perform an action. Separators are inserted with addSeparator(). For submenus use addMenu(). All other items are considered action items.

When inserting action items you usually specify a receiver and a slot. The receiver will be notifed whenever the item is triggered() . In addition, QMenu provides two signals, activated() and highlighted(), which signal the QAction that was triggered from the menu.

You clear a menu with clear() and remove individual action items with removeAction().

A QMenu can also provide a tear-off menu. A tear-off menu is a top-level window that contains a copy of the menu. This makes it possible for the user to "tear off" frequently used menus and position them in a convenient place on the screen. If you want this functionality for a particular menu, insert a tear-off handle with setTearOffEnabled(). When using tear-off menus, bear in mind that the concept isn't typically used on Microsoft Windows so some users may not be familiar with it. Consider using a QToolBar instead.

QMenu on Qt/CE

If a menu is integrated into the native menubar on Windows Mobile we do not support the signals: aboutToHide (), aboutToShow () and hovered (). It is not possible to display an icon in a native menu on Windows Mobile.

See the Menus example for an example of how to use QMenuBar and QMenu in your application.

Important inherited functions: addAction(), removeAction(), clear(), addSeparator(), and addMenu().

                               java.lang.String text)
This convenience function creates a new action with an icon and some text. The function adds the newly created action to the menu's list of actions, and returns it.

See also:
QWidget::addAction().


addAction

public final QAction addAction(java.lang.String text)

                           java.lang.String title)
Appends a new QMenu with icon and title to the menu. The menu takes ownership of the menu. Returns the new menu.

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


addMenu

public final QMenu addMenu(java.lang.String title)
Appends a new QMenu with title to the menu. The menu takes ownership of the menu. Returns the new menu.

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


addSeparator

public final QAction addSeparator()
This convenience function creates a new separator action, i.e. an action with QAction::isSeparator() returning true, and adds the new action to this menu's list of actions. It returns the newly created action.

See also:
QWidget::addAction().


clear

public final void clear()
Removes all the menu's actions. Actions owned by the menu and not shown in any other widget are deleted.

See also:
removeAction().


columnCount

protected final int columnCount()
If a menu does not fit on the screen it lays itself out so that it does fit. It is style dependent what layout means (for example, on Windows it will use multiple columns).

This functions returns the number of columns necessary.


defaultAction

public final QAction defaultAction()
Returns the current default action.

See also:
setDefaultAction().


exec

public final QAction exec()
Executes this menu synchronously.

This is equivalent to exec(pos()).

This returns the triggered QAction in either the popup menu or one of its submenus, or 0 if no item was triggered (normally because the user pressed Esc).

In most situations you'll want to specify the position yourself, for example, the current mouse position:

      exec(QCursor::pos());
or aligned to a widget:
      exec(somewidget.mapToGlobal(QPoint(0,0)));
or in reaction to a QMouseEvent *e:
      exec(e->globalPos());


exec

public final QAction exec(QPoint pos)
Executes this menu synchronously.

Pops up the menu so that the action action will be at the specified global position p. To translate a widget's local coordinates into global coordinates, use QWidget::mapToGlobal().

This returns the triggered QAction in either the popup menu or one of its submenus, or 0 if no item was triggered (normally because the user pressed Esc).

Note that all signals are emitted as usual. If you connect a QAction to a slot and call the menu's exec(), you get the result both via the signal-slot connection and in the return value of exec().

Common usage is to position the menu at the current mouse position:

        exec(QCursor::pos());
or aligned to a widget:
        exec(somewidget.mapToGlobal(QPoint(0, 0)));
or in reaction to a QMouseEvent *e:
      exec(e->globalPos());
When positioning a menu with exec() or popup(), bear in mind that you cannot rely on the menu's current size(). For performance reasons, the menu adapts its size only when necessary. So in many cases, the size before and after the show is different. Instead, use sizeHint() which calculates the proper size depending on the menu's current contents.

See also:
popup(), and QWidget::mapToGlobal().


exec

public final QAction exec(QPoint pos,
                          QAction at)
Executes this menu synchronously.

Pops up the menu so that the action action will be at the specified global position p. To translate a widget's local coordinates into global coordinates, use QWidget::mapToGlobal().

This returns the triggered QAction in either the popup menu or one of its submenus, or 0 if no item was triggered (normally because the user pressed Esc).

Note that all signals are emitted as usual. If you connect a QAction to a slot and call the menu's exec(), you get the result both via the signal-slot connection and in the return value of exec().

Common usage is to position the menu at the current mouse position:

        exec(QCursor::pos());
or aligned to a widget:
        exec(somewidget.mapToGlobal(QPoint(0, 0)));

This function will forcibly hide the torn off menu making it disappear from the users desktop.

See also:
isTearOffMenuVisible(), and isTearOffEnabled().


icon

public final QIcon icon()
This property holds The icon of the menu. This is equivalent to the QAction::icon property of the menuAction().


insertMenu

public final QAction insertMenu(QAction before,
                                QMenu menu)
This convenience function inserts menu before action before and returns the menus menuAction().

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


insertSeparator

public final QAction insertSeparator(QAction before)

When true, QMenu has a special menu item (often shown as a dashed line at the top of the menu) that creates a copy of the menu when the tear-off menu item is triggered. This "torn-off" copy lives in a separate window. It contains the same menu items as the original menu, with the exception of the tear-off handle.


setTitle

public final void setTitle(java.lang.String title)
This property holds The title of the menu. This is equivalent to the QAction::text property of the menuAction().


title

public final java.lang.String title()

exec

public static QAction exec(java.util.List actions,
                           QPoint pos)
Executes this menu synchronously.

The menu's actions are specified by the list of actions. The menu will pop up so that the specified action, at, appears at global position pos. If at is not specified then the menu appears at position pos.

The function returns the triggered QAction in either the popup menu or one of its submenus, or 0 if no item was triggered (normally because the user pressed Esc).

This is equivalent to:

       QMenu menu;
       QAction *at = actions[0]; // Assumes actions is not empty
       foreach (QAction *a, actions)
          menu.addAction(a);
