Name

qmenu — pulldown or right-click menu

...

The qmenu command creates a QMenu object. The command may take an optional title argument. A QMenu object may appear as a pulldown menu, a rightclick menu, or a submenu. Menus may be attached to actions, menubars, toolbuttons, other menus, or set as right-click menus in QTreeWidget objects. The QMenu becomes the current widget.

Arguments

_title

The text at the point where the menu is attached. If the menu is a pulldown menu along a menubar, the text will appear in the menubar. If the menu is a submenu, the text will appear at the point in the parent menu where the submenu is attached. The argument should be omitted when creating a right-click menu.
