Window Menu

The Window Menu component provides a popup menu that contains a list of windows that are currently displayed in a QWorkspace.

 

The Window Menu component provides MDI applications with a menu entry window that shows the available windows and which window is currently active. It also has entries to close all windows, to cascade them, and other common functionality.
