Detailed Description

Interface for all plugins which provide entries to the main menubar.

Detailed description

To add custom menus or actions to the menubar, you have to use this interface class. Create your own QMenu or QAction and emit addMenubarAction to add it to one of the menubar top level menus. You can also get a pointer to one existing top level menu or create a new one with the getMenubarMenu function. You can connect the signals and slots for your menu or action inside the plugin.
