[Qt-interest] [possible-spam:3.641]Re: Multiline QMenu

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

If is possible to use QWidgetAction and achieve multiline effect.
A widget with few text labels in the layout for example.
Not sure I like the multiline menu idea in general though.

Regards Alex.

None of built-in Qt styles support multi-line menu items (all of them use
Qt::TextSingleLine text flag to draw item labels), so there're 3 ways to
solve your problem:
1) your customer forgets about multi-line menu items;
2) you write your own style and use only it;
3) you modify Qt code and use only modified Qt with your application.
