[Qt-interest] [QtS60-feedback] How to set the menu to Qgraphicsview

[Ramesh]

Hi, Hamish..

Thanks..but I just want to clarify some more stuffs.

Can we add menu explicitly to application which is derived from QWidget? i.e
in case if we don't want to use mainwindow to make the application.

In mainwidow there is an option "setlayout" and "setcenterlwidget".. but if
we give the layout it does't fit only but  mainwidow is still inherited from
qwidget it should work right?
May I know the reason for why it's not taking layout?

Hi Ramesh

My understanding is that currently in Qt only the QMainWindow can have
a menu. So if you want a menu, you HAVE to use that. In future I
understand that any top level window (not owned by another) will be
able to have menus, but don't know when that is planned.

As I recall, and I haven't played for a bit, the QDialog has default
softkeys to give you OK/back behaviour, and the sort of framework you
need for a typical dialog (ie handlers to decide whether the dialog
should quit or not). The QWidget is a pretty reasonable component on
desktop, but for most applications on Symbian its just a building
block.

To start an application I'd always use a QMainWindow if I need a menu.
Otherwise a QWidget would be fine.

Regards
H
