I finally got it rendering, I used anchors.fill: parent on the ListView, which caused nothing to be rendered.
This will render the same as when the ListView is not used:
Menu {
id: testMenu
width: 150;
height: 150
MenuItem {
text: "New..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Open..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Save"
}
contentItem: ListView {
model: testMenu.contentModel
}
}
Why would I want to do that? I assume that the point is to use a delegate in the ListView to render imaginary menu elements, no? But adding the delegate, nothing is rendered:
Menu {
id: testMenu
width: 150;
height: 150
MenuItem {
text: "New..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Open..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Save"
}
contentItem: ListView {
model: testMenu.contentModel
delegate: Rectangle {
color: "blue"
width: 150
height: 30
Text { text: modelData.text }
}
}
}
EDIT:
Ok, added anchors.fill: parent to the delegate, and it started rendering. Now it renders exactly also like when the ListView is not used, and the delegate is not showing at all, it is just a normal menu:
Menu {
id: testMenu
width: 150;
height: 150
title: qsTr("TestMenu Root")
MenuItem {
text: "New..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Open..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Save"
}
contentItem: ListView {
model: testMenu.contentModel
delegate: Rectangle {
anchors.fill: parent
color: "blue"
width: 150
height: 30
Text { text: modelData.text }
}
}
}
What is the point, and is there some use for this ListView as contentItem mechanic? The delegate seems not to be used.
EDIT 2:
Ok, so it looks like the ListView can be used to modify how the MenuItems flow and so on, by setting properties and so on. A horizontal menu can be achieved like this:
Menu {
id: testMenu
width: 150;
height: 150
title: qsTr("TestMenu Root")
MenuItem {
text: "New..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Open..."
}
MenuItem {
text: "Save"
}
contentItem: ListView {
model: testMenu.contentModel
orientation: Qt.Horizontal
}
}
However, the ListView delegate can't be used, and I am not sure how to customize MenuItem visuals in other ways without rolling out your own menus.
EDIT 3:
Ok, found how to do that, but mildly disappointed that the ListView delegate can't be used.
The trick is to set up a custom MenuItem as the delegate of the Menu itself.

Anyways, I hope this thread helps someone who is wondering about the same thing.
