Detailed Description

MenuItem is a convenience type that implements the AbstractButton API, providing a familiar way to respond to menu items being triggered, for example.


  Button {
      id: fileButton
      text: "File"
      onClicked: menu.open()

      Menu {
          id: menu

          MenuItem {
              text: "New..."
              onTriggered: document.reset()
          }
          MenuItem {
              text: "Open..."
              onTriggered: openDialog.open()
          }
          MenuItem {
              text: "Save"
              onTriggered: saveDialog.open()
          }
      }
  }
