A floating menu is a QMenu. Showing a QMenu, you use the following code snippet:

@
QMenu myMenu;
myMenu.exec(somePosition);
@

somePositio may be anything in screen coordinates. You can retreive screen size etc by QDesktopWidget.

the best is to show you what i like here is a client that is using what i like to build , its transperent layer menu on the left of the screen :
"http://www.overwolf.com/":http://www.overwolf.com/
i know that doing it with calculation screen coordinates is not easy , is there any framework for this maybe ?

Where is the problem?
you need start and end coordinates and then some QPropertyAnimation.

That should do the trick. But calculating start and end positions is up to you.
