Making a custom menubar in Qt

I'm developing a mobile app using Qt for s60 v5 and symbain 3. Now I want a menubar at bottom of the screen. It should have OPtions button, Exit button. And an additional button in between them. How can this be done? I tried a few things but couldn't get menubar to place at the bottom of the screen. I would like some pointers for creating custom menubar and placing it at whatever place i want. Preferably it should look native.

Solution

  • You can place a non-native QMenuBar in a layout just like any other widget. Below is an example application.

    #include <QApplication>
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QVBoxLayout>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QWidget window;
    QVBoxLayout layout(&window);
    QMenuBar menubar(&window);

    layout.addStretch();
    menubar.addMenu("&File");
    layout.addWidget(&menubar);
    window.show();

    return app.exec();
}
