## Member Function Documentation

### QMenuBar::QMenuBar ( QWidget * parent, const char * name )

Use one of the constructors that doesn't take the name argument and then use setObjectName() instead.

### QKeySequence QMenuBar::accel ( int id ) const

Use shortcut() on the relevant QAction instead.

See also setAccel().

### void QMenuBar::activateItemAt ( int index )

Use activate() on the relevant QAction instead.

### void QMenuBar::activated ( int itemId )`[signal]`

Use triggered() instead.

### bool QMenuBar::autoGeometry () const

Returns true if the menu bar automatically resizes itself when its parent widget is resized; otherwise returns false.

This feature is provided to help porting to Qt 4. We recommend against using it in new code.

See also setAutoGeometry().

### void QMenuBar::changeItem ( int id, const QString & text )

Use setText() on the relevant QAction instead.

### void QMenuBar::changeItem ( int id, const QPixmap & pixmap )

Use setText() on the relevant QAction instead.

### void QMenuBar::changeItem ( int id, const QIcon & icon, const QString & text )

Use setIcon() and setText() on the relevant QAction instead.

### bool QMenuBar::connectItem ( int id, const QObject * receiver, const char * member )

Use connect() on the relevant QAction instead.

### uint QMenuBar::count () const

Use actions().count() instead.

### bool QMenuBar::disconnectItem ( int id, const QObject * receiver, const char * member )

Use disconnect() on the relevant QAction instead.

### QMenuItem * QMenuBar::findItem ( int id ) const

Use actions instead.

### int QMenuBar::frameWidth () const

Use style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_MenuBarPanelWidth, this) instead.

### void QMenuBar::highlighted ( int itemId )`[signal]`

Use hovered() instead.

### QIcon QMenuBar::iconSet ( int id ) const

Use icon() on the relevant QAction instead.

### int QMenuBar::idAt ( int index ) const

Use actions instead.

### int QMenuBar::indexOf ( int id ) const

Use actions().indexOf(action) on the relevant QAction instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QString & text, const QObject * receiver, const char * member, const QKeySequence & shortcut = 0, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertAction() or addAction() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QIcon & icon, const QString & text, const QObject * receiver, const char * member, const QKeySequence & shortcut = 0, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertAction() or addAction() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, const QObject * receiver, const char * member, const QKeySequence & shortcut = 0, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertAction(), addAction(), insertMenu(), or addMenu() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QString & text, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertAction() or addAction() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QIcon & icon, const QString & text, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertAction(), addAction(), insertMenu(), or addMenu() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QString & text, QMenu * popup, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertMenu(), or addMenu() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QIcon & icon, const QString & text, QMenu * popup, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertMenu(), or addMenu() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertAction(), addAction(), insertMenu(), or addMenu() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertItem ( const QPixmap & pixmap, QMenu * popup, int id = -1, int index = -1 )

Use one of the insertMenu(), or addMenu() overloads instead.

### int QMenuBar::insertSeparator ( int index = -1 )

Use addSeparator() or insertAction() instead.

For example, if you have code like

     menuBar->insertSeparator();

you can rewrite it as

     menuBar->addSeparator();

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

### bool QMenuBar::isItemActive ( int id ) const
