Detailed Description

MenuItem is a convenience type that implements the AbstractButton API, providing a familiar way to respond to menu items being triggered, for example.

MenuItem inherits its API from AbstractButton. For instance, you can set text and icon using the AbstractButton API.

 Button {
     id: fileButton
     text: "File"
     onClicked: menu.open()

     Menu {
         id: menu

         MenuItem {
             text: "New..."
             onTriggered: document.reset()
         }
         MenuItem {
             text: "Open..."
             onTriggered: openDialog.open()
         }
         MenuItem {
             text: "Save"
             onTriggered: saveDialog.open()
         }
     }
 }
