Create a menu bar widget and add it to main window's layout.

what exactly is the problem? does your menu disappear on full screen?

[ram4soft]

yes it appears without problem in the normal window but with the full it didn't
thanks

how did you add your menubar? using QMainWindow::menuBar()?

thanks nish,
i'm using this

QMenuBar *menuBar1 = new QMenuBar(0);
 
    fileMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(tr("&File"));
 
    QAction* exit = new QAction(tr("&Exit"),this);
    exit->setShortcuts(QKeySequence::Close);
    exit->setStatusTip(tr("exit now"));
   // menuBar()->addAction(exit);
    fileMenu->addAction(exit);
    connect(exit, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(close()));
     menuBar1->addMenu(fileMenu);

QMenuBar *menuBar1 = new QMenuBar(0);

    fileMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(tr("&File"));

    QAction* exit = new QAction(tr("&Exit"),this);
    exit->setShortcuts(QKeySequence::Close);
    exit->setStatusTip(tr("exit now"));
   // menuBar()->addAction(exit);
    fileMenu->addAction(exit);
    connect(exit, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(close()));
     menuBar1->addMenu(fileMenu);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

it is working fine in case of normal screen but on the fullscreen it is shown in the top of screen
all what i need is to make menu bar (options-back) on the normal position of the bottom of screen

thanks

menuBar() creates AND puts it in the default layout of mainwindow at the top. Do not manipulate it. Unfortunately it always sits on the top of the window.

thanks nish,
i solved it right now by writing this snippet code and it shows me the device softkeys with fullscreen mode

fileMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(tr("&File"));
    QAction* exit = new QAction(tr("&Exit"), this);
    fileMenu->addAction(exit);
 
     Qt::WindowFlags flags;
 
     flags |= Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint;
     flags &= ~Qt::WindowSoftkeysRespondHint;
     setWindowFlags(flags); // Hides visible window
     showFullScreen();

fileMenu = menuBar()->addMenu(tr("&File"));
    QAction* exit = new QAction(tr("&Exit"), this);
    fileMenu->addAction(exit);

     Qt::WindowFlags flags;

     flags |= Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint;
     flags &= ~Qt::WindowSoftkeysRespondHint;
     setWindowFlags(flags); // Hides visible window
     showFullScreen();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but the problem now is how to replace the "options-exit" menu with "options-back" or "back" soft key only

now read your first post again... how in this great world we will know that you were talking about a mobile application? Qt is not just for mobile.

i'm so sorry about confusion

Stating in your profile that you use Qt for every possible platform (which is doubtful) doesn't help too.
