Menu items (QAction) are already checkable. You do not need a QCheckBox to
check/uncheck a menu item.
Look at QAction::setCheckable(bool) and QAction::setChecked(bool) (slot).

Ah, I believe I understand what you want, but I would recommend against it.
I haven't ever seen anything like that on any platform. On the Mac, in
particular, the menu bar is not at all like a tool bar. Menus are at the top
of the screen and outside the main window, not inside.
You could mimic what you are suggesting by using a tool bar that consists
mostly of pop-down menus and your check box. But on the Mac, it wouldn't be
where menu bars are supposed to go.

The standard way to do this is to add a toolbar below the menubar. You
then add actions to the toolbar. These actions can also be added to menus.
