Hi,
I want to have a menu in a non QMainWidget Widget.

After searching carefully this forum I found the following hint:

"Originally posted by Gabriel:
If you want to use a QMenuBar in a single QWidget, you have to create it as a child of a (thin) QFrame that itself is child of the QWidget, and added to a QWidget (horizontal) layout.
QMainWidget makes something like this for us (but without a layout). The menu bar is accessed by menuBar() and the status bar by statusBar().
You can see is by yourself in the open code..."

but - how to make a QMenuBar a "child of the QWidget" QFrame?

RE: menu in non QMainWidget Widget

Insert a QFrame onto your widget and the rest of the widget content below it. Then apply a vertical layout with margins set to 0 (to move the frame as close to the top border as possible). Then insert a QMenuBar object into the frame. You can try doing that without a frame too.
