How to add an icon for submenu in Quick Controls 2?

nland

Hi All,

I'm creating a Windows desktop application with Qt Creator 4.8.0 & Qt 5.12. I have no problem adding an icon for a MenuItem since it has an icon.source property. But how should I achieve the same effect for a submenu?

A Menu component becomes a submenu when it is defined inside the scope of the upper-level Menu component. And at this time it looks like a MenuItem with an arrow on the right side.

I have read the Customizing Qt Quick Controls 2 Page but found nothing customizable for this purpose of Menu.

For Quick Controls1 Menu, there is an iconSource property. But it is removed in Quick Controls 2 Menu. So is there a way to do this?

With Thanks,
a qml beginner

@nland ,

I wrote a short Code as below.
Do you have the same understanding with what my think?

ApplicationWindow {
    visible: true

    menuBar: MenuBar {
      Menu {
        title: qsTr("Sample-MenuBar")

        MenuItem {
          text: qsTr("Sample1")
          iconSource: "img/sc01.png"
        }

        Menu {
          title: qsTr("Sample2")
          iconSource: "img/sc02.png"

          MenuItem {
            text: qsTr("Sample2-2")
            iconSource: "img/sc02.png"
          }
        }
      }
    }

  // .....
}

@KazuoAsano Thank you for responding me!

Yes, I understand your code. But I think you are using Qt Quick Controls 1, which has an iconSource property for Menu component. But in my case, I'm using Quick Controls 2 and for the Menu type, only the title can be specified.

@nland Did you ever figure this out?
