Menu not showing up in menuBar

[quote author="Loulou" date="1387722347"]I had the same issue of the menu bar not showing (config: Qt 5.2 , ubuntu 13.10). This trick solved the issue:
@menuBar()->setNativeMenuBar(false);@[/quote]

Thank you, It also worked for me on mac os !

Where would I add this code to get it to work? Not sure which file it has to go in. New to QT and any help would be appreciated :)

which platform you are trying ? If Ubuntu and Mac, platform do some intelligence. Just try to add few more actions like QAction("David") , QAction("Dheeru") like this. It will start showing up. Since you are default "Quit" and "Quit" is by default available. So it may not be showing up.

@DavidMc Hi, add the following to your main.cpp:

QCoreApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_DontUseNativeMenuBar)

Same effect, just for all your menu bars.
Cheers!

@willy27 It also affect my code.

@willy27 Your temporary fix worked quite well. It's not pretty, but it does the job!!

I just ran into the same problem trying to follow the Qt5 tutorial from https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tutorials-notepad-example.html on MacOS Catalina (no menu bar mystery after building), which has no warnings about differences between platforms. This saved me some time before I delve into macextras

Hi guys, very new into Qt, just got this workin on high sierra/PyCharm/PyQt 5.15.3. My menubar is called "menubar" => self.menubar.setNativeMenuBar(False)
...if you try to solve it from python side. Thanks a bunch!

@astroonaut Excellent .. works- Thanks

Late bump, but one possibility if this is coming from PyQT - if the menu is not attributed to a class, it will be deleted by the garbage collection. changing menu = ... menuBar().addMenu('XX') to self.menu ..... worked for me.
