Menu without Menuitem

PhTe

I have a menubar with some menus on it. My problem is that some of the menus should have no items. So just by clicking on the menu name an action should be performed or a function called or something like this.

MenuBar {
        Menu {
            title: qsTr("File")

            MenuItem { text: qsTr("Open") }
            MenuItem { text: qsTr("Save") }
            MenuSeparator { }
            MenuItem { text: qsTr("Close") }
        }
        
        Menu {
            title: qsTr("Tools");
        }
}

Like in the sample above, if the user clicks on the Menu 'Tools' there should be an action. As far as i can see there is no 'onclick' or 'onTriggered' handler for the Menu, just for MenuItem.

Does anyone have an idea?

Has no one an idea how to add a single clickable item to a menubar?

@PhTe You could use the signal handleronAboutToShow or even onPopupVisibleChanged

Example:

import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true

    menuBar:MenuBar {
        Menu {
            title: qsTr("File")

            MenuItem { text: qsTr("Open") }
            MenuItem { text: qsTr("Save") }
            MenuSeparator { }
            MenuItem { text: qsTr("Close") }
        }

        Menu {
            id: emptyMenu
            title: qsTr("Tools");

            onPopupVisibleChanged: console.log("emptyMenu - onPopupVisibleChanged")

            onAboutToShow: {
                console.log("emptyMenu - onAboutToShow")
            }
        }
    }

    Menu { 
        id: contextMenu
        MenuItem {
            text: qsTr('Delete')
        }

        onAboutToShow: {
            console.log("contextMenu - onAboutToShow")
        }
    }

    MainForm {
        anchors.fill: parent
        mouseArea.onClicked: {
            contextMenu.popup()
        }
    }
}
