    @JNBarchan said in MainWindow doesnt show MenuBar:

    QMenuBar *mb = menuBar();
    mb->addMenu(file);
    this->setMenuBar(mb);

    yes, have tried, and the same code is working on other machines.

    Oh, this is the first time you're saying the code works on some machines and not others?

        So I would look at exactly what version of Qt libraries is being used on your machine versus other machines? Maybe they have a later version than your 5.5, and it will work then?

            Hi,

            Aren't you on Ubuntu ? If so, isn't your menu bar shown at the top of the screen macOS like ?

              LOL if that's what OP means. I have my desktop preference set to show menus on windows, but the default is on system menu.

                  @Vadik YEEEEAH, solved, after some investigations and reinstalling of all components it turned out. Need to change in 'System Settings -> Appearance -> Behavior' parameter for 'Show the menus for a window' from the "In the menu bar" to "In the window's title bar". Thanks to everyone who tried to help.

                    Won't he need setMenuBar(sb) for his main window too?

                    @JNBarchan Question is solved, but as you asked.
                    I don't think it's needed as he gets pointer to menu bar with:

                    QMenuBar *mb = menuBar();
                    

                    and this function returns the menu bar that already set.

                      Yeah, I kinda mis-read (C++ not being my language) it as having been:

                      QMenuBar *mb = new QMenuBar();
                      

                      thinking he was creating his own new one which would need setting. Using the existing menubar and changing its content is of course preferable.
