I wanted to make a menubar for a window on MacOs 10.15.6 with PyQt 5.15
I used QMenuBar class for custom menubar ,created some submenus under 'File' Menu and added it to QMainWindow and I can see global menubar is created on the top of display just like the other MacOs.
I tried both
QMenuBar() , QMainWIndow.setMenuBar()
sub_menu = QAction('Someting else..',self)
fileMenu = QMainWindow.menuBar().addMenu('File')
fileMenu.addAction(sub_menu)
However created global menubar is not clickable. I clicked it but it does not show submenus below 'File' Menu.
But This way using 'setNativeMenuBar(False)' below works fine like Windows Applications but I wanna use native MacOs menubar
QMainWindow.menuBar() and QMainWindow.setNativeMenuBar(False)
Here are images.
# This worked on PyQt5 on macOS Big Sur (ver 11.6)
# it is the result on painful trial and error
# and reading the Qt Docs
def _createMenuBar(self):
menuBar = self.menuBar()
# File menu
fileMenu = menuBar.addMenu("File")
fileMenu.addAction("New")
save = QAction("Save",self)
save.setShortcut("Ctrl+S")
fileMenu.addAction(save)
quit = QAction("\0Quit",self)
quit.setShortcut("Ctrl+Q")
fileMenu.addAction(quit)
# Edit menu
editMenu = menuBar.addMenu("Edit")
editMenu.addAction("Copy")
editMenu.addAction("Paste")
# Help menu
helpMenu=menuBar.addMenu("Help")
helpMenu.addAction(self.helpContentAction)
helpMenu.addAction(self.aboutAction)
