@
QMenuBar *menuBar;
QMenu *menuFile;
QAction *actionOpen;
QAction *actionClose;

menuBar = new QMenuBar(MainWindow);

menuFile = new QMenu(menuBar);
menuFile->setTitle("File");

actionOpen = new QAction(MainWindow);
actionOpen->setText("Open");

actionClose = new QAction(MainWindow);
actionClose->setText("Close");

menuBar->addAction(menuFile->menuAction());
menuFile->addAction(actionOpen);
menuFile->addAction(actionClose);
@

To disable one of the items or whole "File" menu
@
actionOpen->setEnable(false);
menuFile->setEnable(false);
@

To enable them back
@
actionOpen->setEnable(true);
menuFile->setEnable(true);

Approaching like this would disables the QMenu, and it's children are no longer visible. Is there is a way in which the user can see that ta QMenu is disable but still can see it's children?

menuFile->setEnable(false);

In the same way, You can disable all the sub menus and enable the main menu.
