Custom QMenu

[ArlexBee-871RBO]

Greetings.

QMenu lists its actions vertically, but I need a menu that lists actions vertically and horizontally (basically, you see a grid of actions when you click, say, File, and not just a list). I've subclassed QWidgetAction, but I can't figure out how to add them to the menu.

I can't add a grid layout to the menu, so what is the proper way of doing this?

Thanks

Why did you subclass QWidgetAction and not QMenu? The former is for placing widgets in toolbars or menus. If you want a custom menu it would seem you should base on QMenu. On the other hand none of QMenu methods are virtual...

I subclassed QWidgetAction because I need custom widgets for the actions, but we can ignore that part. Just think QAction objects.

I did subclass QMenu, but I just can't figure out a way to do what I want. I can't just insert a grid layout into the menu, and there is no way to tell QMenu to have a minimum row count so that it wraps around and forms the next column.

I think I'll have to subclass QWidget and design a custom menu.
