One MenuBar, multiple windows
Message 1 in thread
Is there a way to assign one menu bar to multiple windows when
building on Windows? On the mac I can just make a menuBar with no
parent, and it'll apply to all open windows, but on Windows this
doesn't work, and if I try to use the setMenuBar function on more than
one window, it removes the menu bar from the first window when
assigning it to the second. Is there any way I can get around this, or
is this just one more reason to avoid windows as much as possible? ;)

Why not just use QMainWindow and have all your windows be sub-windows?

hi!!
you can use a MDI form:
- 1 MainWindow
- 1 MenuBar
- 1 WorkSpace
- * Dialogs working in this workspace (workspace == parent).
you may use this menubar to alternate the dialogs (subwindows).
cheers!!

I'll look into that, see if I'm happy with the result. Thanks!

What I would do... is simply instantiate a QMenuBar, add the menu/menu
items as appropriate, and show the menubar as a normal widget (mb->show)
This little bit of code worked fine for me...
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QApplication>
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
QApplication appl( argc, argv );
QMenuBar * mb = new QMenuBar;
QMenu * menu = mb->addMenu( "File" );
menu->addAction( "Exit", &appl, SLOT( quit() ) );
mb->show();
appl.exec();
}

Which gives me a separate window for the menu bar. Could work, if it
can be made to be a floating window, and still respond to keyboard
shortcuts. Thanks!
