93<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
94
95
96The QMenuBar class provides a horizontal menu bar.
97<p>
98
99<p> A menu bar consists of a list of pull-down menu items. You add
100menu items with <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem()</a>. For example, asuming that <tt>menubar</tt> is a
101pointer to a QMenuBar and <tt>filemenu</tt> is a pointer to a
102<a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a>, the following statement inserts the menu into the menu
103bar:
104<pre>
105 menubar-&gt;insertItem( "&amp;File", filemenu );
106 </pre>
107
108The ampersand in the menu item's text sets Alt+F as a shortcut for
109this menu. (You can use "&amp;&amp;" to get a real ampersand in the menu
110bar.)
111<p> Items are either enabled or disabled. You toggle their state with
112<a href="qmenudata.html#setItemEnabled">setItemEnabled</a>().
113<p> There is no need to lay out a menu bar. It automatically sets its
114own geometry to the top of the parent widget and changes it
115appropriately whenever the parent is resized.
116<p>
117<p> Example of creating a menu bar with menu items (from <a href="menu-example.html">menu/menu.cpp</a>):
118
119
120<pre> <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a> *file = new <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a>( this );
121</pre><pre> file-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( p1, "&amp;Open", this, SLOT(open()), CTRL+Key_O );
122 file-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( p2, "&amp;New", this, SLOT(news()), CTRL+Key_N );
123</pre><pre> menu = new QMenuBar( this );
124</pre><pre> menu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "&amp;File", file );
125</pre>
126<p> In most main window style applications you would use the menuBar()
127provided in <a href="qmainwindow.html">QMainWindow</a>, adding <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a>s to the menu bar
128and adding <a href="qaction.html">QAction</a>s to the popup menus.
129<p> Example (from <a href="qaction-application-example.html">action/application.cpp</a>):
130
131
132<pre> <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a> * file = new <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a>( this );
133 <a href="qmainwindow.html#menuBar">menuBar</a>()-&gt;insertItem( "&amp;File", file );
134 fileNewAction-&gt;<a href="qaction.html#addTo">addTo</a>( file );
135</pre>
136<p> Menu items can have text and pixmaps (or iconsets), see the
137various <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem()</a>
138overloads, as well as separators, see <a href="qmenudata.html#insertSeparator">insertSeparator()</a>. You can
139also add custom menu items that are derived from
140<a href="qcustommenuitem.html">QCustomMenuItem</a>.
141<p> Menu items may be removed with <a href="qmenudata.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>() and enabled or
142disabled with <a href="qmenudata.html#setItemEnabled">setItemEnabled()</a>.

144<p> <h3> QMenuBar on Qt/Mac
145</h3>
146<a name="1"></a><p> QMenuBar on Qt/Mac is a wrapper for using the system-wide menubar.
147If you have multiple menubars in one dialog the outermost menubar
148(normally inside a widget with <a href="qt.html#WidgetFlags">widget flag</a> <a href="qt.html#WidgetFlags-enum">WType_TopLevel</a>) will
149be used for the system-wide menubar.
150<p> Note that arbitrary Qt widgets <em>cannot</em> be inserted into a
151QMenuBar on the Mac because Qt uses Mac's native menus which don't
152support this functionality. This limitation does not apply to
153stand-alone QPopupMenus.
154<p> Qt/Mac also provides a menubar merging feature to make QMenuBar
155conform more closely to accepted Mac OS X menubar layout. The
156merging functionality is based on string matching the title of a
157<a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a> entry. These strings are translated (using
158<a href="qobject.html#tr">QObject::tr</a>()) in the "QMenuBar" context. If an entry is moved its
159slots will still fire as if it was in the original place. The
160table below outlines the strings looked for and where the entry is
161placed if matched:
162<p> <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
163<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">String matches <th valign="top">Placement <th valign="top">Notes
164<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">about.*
165<td valign="top">Application Menu | About <application name>
166<td valign="top">If this entry is not found no About item will appear in
167the Application Menu
168<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">config, options, setup, settings or preferences
169<td valign="top">Application Menu | Preferences
170<td valign="top">If this entry is not found the Settings item will be disabled
171<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">quit or exit
172<td valign="top">Application Menu | Quit <application name>
173<td valign="top">If this entry is not found a default Quit item will be

181<h3 class=fn><a name="Separator-enum"></a>QMenuBar::Separator</h3>
182
183<p> This enum type is used to decide whether QMenuBar should draw a
184separator line at its bottom.
185<ul>
186<li><tt>QMenuBar::Never</tt> - In many applications there is already a separator,
187and having two looks wrong.
188<li><tt>QMenuBar::InWindowsStyle</tt> - In some other applications a separator looks
189good in Windows style, but nowhere else.

201</h3>
202
203<p> This signal is emitted when a menu item is selected; <em>id</em> is the
204id of the selected item.
205<p> Normally you will connect each menu item to a single slot using
206<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">QMenuData::insertItem</a>(), but sometimes you will want to connect
207several items to a single slot (most often if the user selects

225</h3>
226Returns the height that the menu would resize itself to if its
227parent (and hence itself) resized to the given <em>max_width</em>. This
228can be useful for simple layout tasks in which the height of the
229menu bar is needed after items have been inserted. See <a href="showimg-example.html">showimg/showimg.cpp</a> for an example of the usage.

240<h3 class=fn>void <a name="highlighted"></a>QMenuBar::highlighted ( int&nbsp;id )<tt> [signal]</tt>
241</h3>
242
243<p> This signal is emitted when a menu item is highlighted; <em>id</em> is
244the id of the highlighted item.
245<p> Normally, you will connect each menu item to a single slot using
246<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">QMenuData::insertItem</a>(), but sometimes you will want to connect
247several items to a single slot (most often if the user selects
248from an array). This signal is useful in such cases.
249<p> <p>See also <a href="#activated">activated</a>() and <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">QMenuData::insertItem</a>().
250
251<h3 class=fn>int <a name="insertItem"></a>QMenuData::insertItem ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text, const&nbsp;<a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;receiver, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;member, const&nbsp;<a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;accel = 0, int&nbsp;id = -1, int&nbsp;index = -1 )
252</h3>
253The family of <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>() functions inserts menu items into a
254popup menu or a menu bar.
255<p> A menu item is usually either a text string or a pixmap, both with
256an optional icon or keyboard accelerator. For special cases it is
257also possible to insert custom items (see <a href="qcustommenuitem.html">QCustomMenuItem</a>) or
258even widgets into popup menus.
259<p> Some insertItem() members take a popup menu as an additional
260argument. Use this to insert submenus into existing menus or
261pulldown menus into a menu bar.
262<p> The number of insert functions may look confusing, but they are
263actually quite simple to use.
264<p> This default version inserts a menu item with the text <em>text</em>,
265the accelerator key <em>accel</em>, an id and an optional index and
266connects it to the slot <em>member</em> in the object <em>receiver</em>.
267<p> Example:
268<pre>
269 QMenuBar *mainMenu = new QMenuBar;
270 <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a> *fileMenu = new <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a>;
271 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "New", myView, SLOT(newFile()), CTRL+Key_N );
272 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "Open", myView, SLOT(open()), CTRL+Key_O );
273 mainMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "File", fileMenu );
274 </pre>
275
276<p> Not all insert functions take an object/slot parameter or an
277accelerator key. Use <a href="qmenudata.html#connectItem">connectItem</a>() and <a href="qmenudata.html#setAccel">setAccel</a>() on those items.
278<p> If you need to translate accelerators, use <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>() with the text and
279accelerator. (For translations use a string <a href="qkeysequence.html">key
280 sequence</a>.):
281<pre>
282 fileMenu-&gt;insertItem( <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>("Open"), myView, SLOT(open()),
283 <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>("Ctrl+O") );
284 </pre>
285
286<p> In the example above, pressing Ctrl+O or selecting "Open" from the
287menu activates the myView->open() function.
288<p> Some insert functions take a <a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a> parameter to specify the
289little menu item icon. Note that you can always pass a <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>
290object instead.
291<p> The <em>id</em> specifies the identification number associated with the
292menu item. Note that only positive values are valid, as a negative
293value will make Qt select a unique id for the item.
294<p> The <em>index</em> specifies the position in the menu. The menu item is
295appended at the end of the list if <em>index</em> is negative.
296<p> Note that keyboard accelerators in Qt are not application-global,
297instead they are bound to a certain top-level window. For example,
298accelerators in <a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a> items only work for menus that are
299associated with a certain window. This is true for popup menus
300that live in a menu bar since their accelerators will then be
301installed in the menu bar itself. This also applies to stand-alone
302popup menus that have a top-level widget in their <a href="qwidget.html#parentWidget">parentWidget</a>()
303chain. The menu will then install its accelerator object on that
304top-level widget. For all other cases use an independent <a href="qaccel.html">QAccel</a>
305object.
306<p> <b>Warning:</b> Be careful when passing a literal 0 to <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>()
307because some C++ compilers choose the wrong overloaded function.
308Cast the 0 to what you mean, e.g. <tt>(QObject*)0</tt>.
309<p> <b>Warning:</b> On Mac OS X, items that connect to a slot that are inserted into a

433</h3>
434This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
435<p> Inserts a menu item that consists of the widget <em>widget</em> with
436optional id <em>id</em>, and optional <em>index</em> position.
437<p> Ownership of <em>widget</em> is transferred to the popup menu or to the
438menu bar.
439<p> Theoretically, any widget can be inserted into a popup menu. In
440practice, this only makes sense with certain widgets.
441<p> If a widget is not focus-enabled (see
442<a href="qwidget.html#isFocusEnabled">QWidget::isFocusEnabled</a>()), the menu treats it as a separator;
443this means that the item is not selectable and will never get
444focus. In this way you can, for example, simply insert a <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a> if
445you need a popup menu with a title.
446<p> If the widget is focus-enabled it will get focus when the user
447traverses the popup menu with the arrow keys. If the widget does
448not accept <tt>ArrowUp</tt> and <tt>ArrowDown</tt> in its key event handler,
449the focus will move back to the menu when the respective arrow key
450is hit one more time. This works with a <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>, for example. If
451the widget accepts the arrow key itself, it must also provide the
452possibility to put the focus back on the menu again by calling
453<a href="qwidget.html#focusNextPrevChild">QWidget::focusNextPrevChild</a>(). Futhermore, if the embedded widget
454closes the menu when the user made a selection, this can be done
455safely by calling:
456<pre>
457 if ( <a href="qwidget.html#isVisible">isVisible</a>() &amp;&amp;
458 <a href="qwidget.html#parentWidget">parentWidget</a>() &amp;&amp;
