QMenu and setTearOffEnabled(bool)

[dvmorris]

I'm trying to make some menu's tearoff-able, and it doesn't seem to work on OS X, I haven't tried any other OS yet, so I don't really know what's wrong. Here is some code I'm using:

//in .hh file
QMenu *editMenu;
 
//in .cc file	
editMenu = menuBar->addMenu(tr("&Edit"));
editMenu->addAction(undoAct);
editMenu->addAction(redoAct);
editMenu->setTearOffEnabled(true);

//in .hh file
QMenu *editMenu;

//in .cc file	
editMenu = menuBar->addMenu(tr("&Edit"));
editMenu->addAction(undoAct);
editMenu->addAction(redoAct);
editMenu->setTearOffEnabled(true);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

menuBar = new QMenuBar(0);
 
fileMenu = new QMenu(tr("&File"),this);
fileMenu->setTearOffEnabled(true);
menuBar->addMenu(fileMenu);
fileMenu->addAction(openAct);
fileMenu->addAction(saveAct);
fileMenu->addAction(saveAsAct);
fileMenu->addSeparator();
fileMenu->addAction(exitAct);

menuBar = new QMenuBar(0);
	
fileMenu = new QMenu(tr("&File"),this);
fileMenu->setTearOffEnabled(true);
menuBar->addMenu(fileMenu);
fileMenu->addAction(openAct);
fileMenu->addAction(saveAct);
fileMenu->addAction(saveAsAct);
fileMenu->addSeparator();
fileMenu->addAction(exitAct);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

any ideas? I'm clueless. It compiles and runs, but the tearoff strip doesn't show up anywhere...

Hello,

I tried on a windows OS, and the only thing i had to change so it works is the parent object you give to the constructor:
i would use

new QMenuBar(this);

new QMenuBar(this);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

rather than

new QMenuBar(0);

new QMenuBar(0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But maybe there is a subtility i didnt get
Hope it helps ^^
Pierre.

I tried that and it doesn't seem to work either. It must be an OS X thing. I'll try on windows later. Thanks for your help, if anyone else knows anything, let me know,
Dave
