how to add "menu bar " to QMdiArea ??

Anonymous_Banned275

Update
Looks as there is no (easy) way to add menu/ staus bar to QMDiArea . So be it.
I have replaced
setCentralWidget(console )

with
setCentralWidget(MainWindow_MDI_Area_MainWindow);
, new class derived from QMainWindiow...

It does the job I need.

I have few questions

Why I can use
ui->menubar...

and have to use

statusBar()->showMessage

there is no visible way to do the same , post status , using

ui->statusBar

I cannot find how to add / show the added MainWindow title etc. - I have "mdi area" in plain window , but cannot see the window frame , title , etc, itself...

MainWindow_MDI_Area_MainWindoiw::MainWindow_MDI_Area_MainWindoiw(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow_MDI_Area_MainWindoiw)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    ui->menubar->addMenu("Test first menu ");

    // test status bar
    //ui->statusbar->
    //setStatusBar("TEST Status bar ");
    statusBar()->showMessage("TEST Status bar ");
    ui->statusbar->>showM

    //ui->statusbar->setWindowTitle("Test window title"); //??

}

Re: qmdiarea menubar

addendum
I have tried this in past and it looks as a wrong concept to add mdi area and expect to add ANY bars to it

...
I have managed to create / build QMdiArea....
I can add sub windows etc....
I Like to have QMdiArea visible as windows and to have a title.
I can add code to add window title but I cannot see it...

I would like to add "standard " window menu bar and cannot seem to find how .

The attached screen shot is "missing" the QMdiArea window and its menu bar to link to subwindows.

PS I am posting this because to original was dated...
PPS I would like to make sure readers understand that I am NOT USING plain MainWindow - my QMdiArea is an add / option "attached" to Main WIndow WHICH has it own menu bar already.
