How to add a border to layout?

How do I add a drop down menu to a border layout in Qt

• I have created a border layout, and I have created a menu layout following these two tutorials: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/mainwindows-menus.html http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/layouts-borderlayout.html I am missing something fundamental when I try to put them together. My result is an application window with nothing in it. The border layout worked fine on its own as well as the menu (pulled straight from the reference). What's the best way to add a drop down menu to the border layout?

• Answer:

  Start with the menu example as a basis. Use the Window class from the other example instead of widget in the MainWindow constructor, so MainWindow::MainWindow() { QWidget *widget = new QWidget; setCentralWidget(widget); becomes MainWindow::MainWindow() { Window *widget = new Window; setCentralWidget(widget);
