117
118
119The QPopupMenu class provides a popup menu widget.
120<p>
121
122
123<p> A popup menu widget is a selection menu. It can be either a
124pull-down menu in a menu bar or a standalone context (popup) menu.
125Pull-down menus are shown by the menu bar when the user clicks on
126the respective item or presses the specified shortcut key. Use
127<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">QMenuBar::insertItem</a>() to insert a popup menu into a menu bar.
128Show a context menu either asynchronously with <a href="#popup">popup</a>() or
129synchronously with <a href="#exec">exec</a>().
130<p> Technically, a popup menu consists of a list of menu items. You
131add items with <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>(). An item is either a string, a pixmap
132or a custom item that provides its own drawing function (see
133<a href="qcustommenuitem.html">QCustomMenuItem</a>). In addition, items can have an optional icon
134drawn on the very left side and an accelerator key such as
135"Ctrl+X".
136<p> There are three kinds of menu items: separators, menu items that
137perform an action and menu items that show a submenu. Separators
138are inserted with <a href="qmenudata.html#insertSeparator">insertSeparator</a>(). For submenus, you pass a
139pointer to a QPopupMenu in your call to insertItem(). All other
140items are considered action items.
141<p> When inserting action items you usually specify a receiver and a
142slot. The receiver will be notifed whenever the item is selected.
143In addition, QPopupMenu provides two signals, <a href="#activated">activated</a>() and
144<a href="#highlighted">highlighted</a>(), which signal the identifier of the respective menu
145item. It is sometimes practical to connect several items to one
146slot. To distinguish between them, specify a slot that takes an
147integer argument and use <a href="qmenudata.html#setItemParameter">setItemParameter</a>() to associate a unique
148value with each item.
149<p> You clear a popup menu with <a href="qmenudata.html#clear">clear</a>() and remove single items with
150<a href="qmenudata.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>() or <a href="qmenudata.html#removeItemAt">removeItemAt</a>().
151<p> A popup menu can display check marks for certain items when
152enabled with <a href="#setCheckable">setCheckable</a>(TRUE). You check or uncheck items with
153<a href="qmenudata.html#setItemChecked">setItemChecked</a>().
154<p> Items are either enabled or disabled. You toggle their state with
155<a href="qmenudata.html#setItemEnabled">setItemEnabled</a>(). Just before a popup menu becomes visible, it
156emits the <a href="#aboutToShow">aboutToShow</a>() signal. You can use this signal to set the
157correct enabled/disabled states of all menu items before the user
158sees it. The corresponding <a href="#aboutToHide">aboutToHide</a>() signal is emitted when
159the menu hides again.
160<p> You can provide What's This? help for single menu items with
161<a href="qmenudata.html#setWhatsThis">setWhatsThis</a>(). See <a href="qwhatsthis.html">QWhatsThis</a> for general information about this
162kind of lightweight online help.
163<p> For ultimate flexibility, you can also add entire widgets as items
164into a popup menu (for example, a color selector).
165<p> A QPopupMenu can also provide a tear-off menu. A tear-off menu is
166a top-level window that contains a copy of the menu. This makes it
167possible for the user to "tear off" frequently used menus and
168position them in a convenient place on the screen. If you want
169that functionality for a certain menu, insert a tear-off handle
170with <a href="#insertTearOffHandle">insertTearOffHandle</a>(). When using tear-off menus, bear in
171mind that the concept isn't typically used on Microsoft Windows so
172users may not be familiar with it. Consider using a <a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a>
173instead. Tear-off menus cannot contain custom widgets; if the
174original menu contains a custom widget item, this item is omitted.
175<p> <a href="menu-example.html">menu/menu.cpp</a> is an example of
176<a href="qmenubar.html">QMenuBar</a> and QPopupMenu use.

184</h3>
185Constructs a popup menu called <em>name</em> with parent <em>parent</em>.
186<p> Although a popup menu is always a top-level widget, if a parent is
187passed the popup menu will be deleted when that parent is
188destroyed (as with any other <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>).
189
190<h3 class=fn><a name="~QPopupMenu"></a>QPopupMenu::~QPopupMenu ()
191</h3>
192Destroys the popup menu.
193
194<h3 class=fn>void <a name="aboutToHide"></a>QPopupMenu::aboutToHide ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
195</h3>
196
197<p> This signal is emitted just before the popup menu is hidden after
198it has been displayed.
199<p> <b>Warning:</b> Do not open a widget in a slot connected to this signal.
200<p> <p>See also <a href="#aboutToShow">aboutToShow</a>(), <a href="qmenudata.html#setItemEnabled">setItemEnabled</a>(), <a href="qmenudata.html#setItemChecked">setItemChecked</a>(), <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>(), and <a href="qmenudata.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>().
201
202<h3 class=fn>void <a name="aboutToShow"></a>QPopupMenu::aboutToShow ()<tt> [signal]</tt>
203</h3>
204
205<p> This signal is emitted just before the popup menu is displayed.
206You can connect it to any slot that sets up the menu contents
207(e.g. to ensure that the right items are enabled).
208<p> <p>See also <a href="#aboutToHide">aboutToHide</a>(), <a href="qmenudata.html#setItemEnabled">setItemEnabled</a>(), <a href="qmenudata.html#setItemChecked">setItemChecked</a>(), <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>(), and <a href="qmenudata.html#removeItem">removeItem</a>().
209
210<p>Example: <a href="mdi-example.html#x2048">mdi/application.cpp</a>.
211<h3 class=fn><a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a> <a name="accel"></a>QMenuData::accel ( int&nbsp;id ) const
212</h3>
213Returns the accelerator key that has been defined for the menu
214item <em>id</em>, or 0 if it has no accelerator key or if there is no
215such menu item.
216<p> <p>See also <a href="qmenudata.html#setAccel">setAccel</a>(), <a href="qaccel.html">QAccel</a>, and <a href="qnamespace-h.html">qnamespace.h</a>.
217
218<h3 class=fn>void <a name="activated"></a>QPopupMenu::activated ( int&nbsp;id )<tt> [signal]</tt>
219</h3>
220
221<p> This signal is emitted when a menu item is selected; <em>id</em> is the
222id of the selected item.
223<p> Normally, you connect each menu item to a single slot using
224<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">QMenuData::insertItem</a>(), but sometimes you will want to connect
225several items to a single slot (most often if the user selects
226from an array). This signal is useful in such cases.
227<p> <p>See also <a href="#highlighted">highlighted</a>() and <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">QMenuData::insertItem</a>().

318</h3>
319This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
320<p> Executes this popup synchronously.
321<p> Opens the popup menu so that the item number <em>indexAtPoint</em> will
322be at the specified <em>global</em> position <em>pos</em>. To translate a
323widget's local coordinates into global coordinates, use
324<a href="qwidget.html#mapToGlobal">QWidget::mapToGlobal</a>().
325<p> The return code is the id of the selected item in either the popup
326menu or one of its submenus, or -1 if no item is selected
327(normally because the user pressed Esc).
328<p> Note that all signals are emitted as usual. If you connect a menu
329item to a slot and call the menu's <a href="#exec">exec</a>(), you get the result both
330via the signal-slot connection and in the return value of exec().
331<p> Common usage is to position the popup at the current mouse
332position:
333<pre>
334 <a href="#exec">exec</a>( QCursor::<a href="qcursor.html#pos">pos</a>() );
335 </pre>
336
337or aligned to a widget:
338<pre>
339 <a href="#exec">exec</a>( somewidget.mapToGlobal(QPoint(0, 0)) );
340 </pre>
341
342<p> When positioning a popup with exec() or <a href="#popup">popup</a>(), bear in mind that
343you cannot rely on the popup menu's current <a href="qwidget.html#size">size</a>(). For
344performance reasons, the popup adapts its size only when
345necessary. So in many cases, the size before and after the show is
346different. Instead, use <a href="qwidget.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>(). It calculates the proper size
347depending on the menu's current contents.

378</h3>
379The family of <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>() functions inserts menu items into a
380popup menu or a menu bar.
381<p> A menu item is usually either a text string or a pixmap, both with
382an optional icon or keyboard accelerator. For special cases it is
383also possible to insert custom items (see <a href="qcustommenuitem.html">QCustomMenuItem</a>) or
384even widgets into popup menus.
385<p> Some insertItem() members take a popup menu as an additional
386argument. Use this to insert submenus into existing menus or
387pulldown menus into a menu bar.
388<p> The number of insert functions may look confusing, but they are
389actually quite simple to use.
390<p> This default version inserts a menu item with the text <em>text</em>,
391the accelerator key <em>accel</em>, an id and an optional index and
392connects it to the slot <em>member</em> in the object <em>receiver</em>.
393<p> Example:
394<pre>
395 <a href="qmenubar.html">QMenuBar</a> *mainMenu = new <a href="qmenubar.html">QMenuBar</a>;
396 QPopupMenu *fileMenu = new QPopupMenu;
397 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "New", myView, SLOT(newFile()), CTRL+Key_N );
398 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "Open", myView, SLOT(open()), CTRL+Key_O );
399 mainMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "File", fileMenu );
400 </pre>
401
402<p> Not all insert functions take an object/slot parameter or an
403accelerator key. Use <a href="qmenudata.html#connectItem">connectItem</a>() and <a href="qmenudata.html#setAccel">setAccel</a>() on those items.
404<p> If you need to translate accelerators, use <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>() with the text and
405accelerator. (For translations use a string <a href="qkeysequence.html">key
406 sequence</a>.):
407<pre>
408 fileMenu-&gt;insertItem( <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>("Open"), myView, SLOT(open()),
409 <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>("Ctrl+O") );
410 </pre>
411
412<p> In the example above, pressing Ctrl+O or selecting "Open" from the
413menu activates the myView->open() function.
414<p> Some insert functions take a <a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a> parameter to specify the
415little menu item icon. Note that you can always pass a <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a>
416object instead.
417<p> The <em>id</em> specifies the identification number associated with the
418menu item. Note that only positive values are valid, as a negative
419value will make Qt select a unique id for the item.
420<p> The <em>index</em> specifies the position in the menu. The menu item is
421appended at the end of the list if <em>index</em> is negative.
422<p> Note that keyboard accelerators in Qt are not application-global,
423instead they are bound to a certain top-level window. For example,
424accelerators in QPopupMenu items only work for menus that are
425associated with a certain window. This is true for popup menus
426that live in a menu bar since their accelerators will then be
427installed in the menu bar itself. This also applies to stand-alone
428popup menus that have a top-level widget in their <a href="qwidget.html#parentWidget">parentWidget</a>()
429chain. The menu will then install its accelerator object on that
430top-level widget. For all other cases use an independent <a href="qaccel.html">QAccel</a>
431object.
432<p> <b>Warning:</b> Be careful when passing a literal 0 to <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>()
433because some C++ compilers choose the wrong overloaded function.
434Cast the 0 to what you mean, e.g. <tt>(QObject*)0</tt>.
435<p> <b>Warning:</b> On Mac OS X, items that connect to a slot that are inserted into a
436menubar will not function as we use the native menubar that knows nothing
437about signals or slots. Instead insert the items into a popup menu and
438insert the popup menu into the menubar. This may be fixed in a future Qt
439version.

559</h3>
560This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
561<p> Inserts a menu item that consists of the widget <em>widget</em> with
562optional id <em>id</em>, and optional <em>index</em> position.
563<p> Ownership of <em>widget</em> is transferred to the popup menu or to the
564menu bar.
565<p> Theoretically, any widget can be inserted into a popup menu. In
566practice, this only makes sense with certain widgets.
567<p> If a widget is not focus-enabled (see
568<a href="qwidget.html#isFocusEnabled">QWidget::isFocusEnabled</a>()), the menu treats it as a separator;
569this means that the item is not selectable and will never get
570focus. In this way you can, for example, simply insert a <a href="qlabel.html">QLabel</a> if
571you need a popup menu with a title.
572<p> If the widget is focus-enabled it will get focus when the user
573traverses the popup menu with the arrow keys. If the widget does
574not accept <tt>ArrowUp</tt> and <tt>ArrowDown</tt> in its key event handler,
575the focus will move back to the menu when the respective arrow key
576is hit one more time. This works with a <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>, for example. If
577the widget accepts the arrow key itself, it must also provide the
578possibility to put the focus back on the menu again by calling
579<a href="qwidget.html#focusNextPrevChild">QWidget::focusNextPrevChild</a>(). Futhermore, if the embedded widget
580closes the menu when the user made a selection, this can be done
581safely by calling:
582<pre>
583 if ( <a href="qwidget.html#isVisible">isVisible</a>() &amp;&amp;
584 <a href="qwidget.html#parentWidget">parentWidget</a>() &amp;&amp;

613
614<h3 class=fn>int <a name="insertSeparator"></a>QMenuData::insertSeparator ( int&nbsp;index = -1 )
615</h3>
616Inserts a separator at position <em>index</em>, and returns the <a href="qmenudata.html#menu-identifier">menu identifier</a>
617number allocated to it. The separator becomes the last menu item if
618<em>index</em> is negative.
619<p> In a popup menu a separator is rendered as a horizontal line. In a
620<a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> menu bar a separator is spacing, so the rest of the items
621(normally just "Help") are drawn right-justified. In a Windows
622menu bar separators are ignored (to comply with the Windows style
623guidelines).

627</h3>
628Inserts a tear-off handle into the menu. A tear-off handle is a
629special menu item that creates a copy of the menu when the menu is
630selected. This "torn-off" copy lives in a separate window. It
631contains the same menu items as the original menu, with the
632exception of the tear-off handle.
633<p> The handle item is assigned the identifier <em>id</em> or an
634automatically generated identifier if <em>id</em> is < 0. The generated
635identifiers (negative integers) are guaranteed to be unique within
636the entire application.
637<p> The <em>index</em> specifies the position in the menu. The tear-off
638handle is appended at the end of the list if <em>index</em> is negative.

687Displays the popup menu so that the item number <em>indexAtPoint</em>
688will be at the specified <em>global</em> position <em>pos</em>. To translate a
689widget's local coordinates into global coordinates, use
690<a href="qwidget.html#mapToGlobal">QWidget::mapToGlobal</a>().
691<p> When positioning a popup with <a href="#exec">exec</a>() or <a href="#popup">popup</a>(), bear in mind that
692you cannot rely on the popup menu's current <a href="qwidget.html#size">size</a>(). For
693performance reasons, the popup adapts its size only when
694necessary, so in many cases, the size before and after the show is
695different. Instead, use <a href="qwidget.html#sizeHint">sizeHint</a>(). It calculates the proper size
696depending on the menu's current contents.

711<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setAccel"></a>QMenuData::setAccel ( const&nbsp;<a href="qkeysequence.html">QKeySequence</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;key, int&nbsp;id )
712</h3>
713Sets the accelerator key for the menu item <em>id</em> to <em>key</em>.
714<p> An accelerator key consists of a key code and a combination of the
715modifiers <a href="qt.html#Modifier-enum">SHIFT</a>, <a href="qt.html#Modifier-enum">CTRL</a>, <a href="qt.html#Modifier-enum">ALT</a> or <a href="qt.html#Modifier-enum">UNICODE_ACCEL</a> (OR'ed or
716added). The header file <a href="qnamespace-h.html">qnamespace.h</a> contains a list of key
717codes.
718<p> Defining an accelerator key produces a text that is added to the
719menu item; for instance, <a href="qt.html#Modifier-enum">CTRL</a> + <a href="qt.html#Key-enum">Key_O</a> produces "Ctrl+O". The
720text is formatted differently for different platforms.
721<p> Note that keyboard accelerators in Qt are not application-global,
722instead they are bound to a certain top-level window. For example,
723accelerators in QPopupMenu items only work for menus that are
724associated with a certain window. This is true for popup menus
725that live in a menu bar since their accelerators will then be
726installed in the menu bar itself. This also applies to stand-alone
727popup menus that have a top-level widget in their <a href="qwidget.html#parentWidget">parentWidget</a>()
728chain. The menu will then install its accelerator object on that
729top-level widget. For all other cases use an independent <a href="qaccel.html">QAccel</a>
730object.
731<p> Example:
732<pre>
733 <a href="qmenubar.html">QMenuBar</a> *mainMenu = new <a href="qmenubar.html">QMenuBar</a>;
734 QPopupMenu *fileMenu = new QPopupMenu; // file sub menu
735 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "Open Document", 67 ); // add "Open" item
736 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#setAccel">setAccel</a>( CTRL + Key_O, 67 ); // Ctrl+O to open
737 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "Quit", 69 ); // add "Quit" item
738 fileMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#setAccel">setAccel</a>( CTRL + ALT + Key_Delete, 69 ); // add Alt+Del to quit
739 mainMenu-&gt;<a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>( "File", fileMenu ); // add the file menu
740 </pre>
741
742<p> If you need to translate accelerators, use <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>() with a string:
743<pre>
744 fileMenu-&gt;setAccel( <a href="qobject.html#tr">tr</a>("Ctrl+O"), 67 );
745 </pre>
746
747<p> You can also specify the accelerator in the <a href="qmenudata.html#insertItem">insertItem</a>() function.
748You may prefer to use <a href="qaction.html">QAction</a> to associate accelerators with menu
749items.
