[Development] Using a QML Menu to Qt Quick 3D Xr

[remy@rouvin.com]

I only use the Menu as a Popup. 

 

My application (pockemul.com) was originally designed exclusively for
desktop. 

When I adapted it for a touch interface, I replaced the MenuBar with icons
and contextual menus. 

 

Now I need to imagine an interface suited for XR, which is both exciting and
rather complex. 

I believe it will take a long period of refinement to find the right
approach.

Hi!

Unfortunately, Popup is indeed not compatible with XrItem currently. Qt
Quick uses an Overlay item which is the parent of all popups. The overlay is
a parent of the Window. This clearly doesn't work in XR, since there is no
real window, and we also need a separate overlay for each XrItem. After a
hallway discussion, we have some ideas on how to give XrItem its own
overlay, but we have to do some experiments. This would involve changes to
Qt Quick/Qt Quick Controls.

Out of curiosity: Are you using Menu as a popup menu, or are you also using
a MenuBar?

Hello,

I am currently porting my application to Qt Quick 3D XR and I am facing an
issue with context menus. I am using a Menu component, but since it depends
on Popup, it does not appear to be compatible with an XrItem.

Is there any way to make this work? My Menu is created dynamically and is
quite complex, so I would prefer to avoid rewriting the component using Qt
Quick Controls.
