How do I create a window with the menu in the title bar?

[gvanvoor]

Hi,

I'ld like to create a window with a menu in the title bar, like Visual Studio 2019 does.
See screenshot:

Is this possible in Qt and if so, what window flags do I need to use? (I don't need a cross platform solution; I only need it on windows).

I've managed to get close to this by using a frameless QMainWindow and adding the minimise/close buttons as a corner widget to its menu bar but this breaks the ability to minimise the application by clicking the app icon in the task bar.

No it doesn't. That's exactly the same as what I already tried: a frameless QMainWindow. The resulting window needs to have a "real" minimise button in order for the click on the application icon in the taskbar to minimise the application.

Hi
Basically you cannot do this with Qt in any easy way.

Its a custom solution reimplementing all the features like min/max and resize.

The best i could find was
