Description
Basically: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77997142/how-to-make-qml-menus-consider-layout-mirroring
I'm developing a multi language application including languages that are rtl. When using the Menu control, they do not follow the LayoutMirroring.enabled setting in my top-level ApplicationWindow.
In left-to-right mode everything looks alright
but in right-to-left mode it doesn't work like it is intended. It still opens the menus to the right and also animates it that way.
And this is what I would expect:
Here's the code
import QtQuick import QtQuick.Controls import QtQuick.Controls.Material ApplicationWindow { id: root property bool mirroringEnabled: false LayoutMirroring.enabled: mirroringEnabled LayoutMirroring.childrenInherit: true width: 640 height: 480 visible: true menuBar: MenuBar { Menu { id: someMenu title: qsTr("&File") Action { text: qsTr("&New...") } } Menu { title: qsTr("&Edit") Action { text: qsTr("Cu&t") } } Menu { title: qsTr("&Help") Action { text: qsTr("&About") } } } Button { text: `mirror layout: ${root.mirroringEnabled}` anchors.centerIn: root.contentItem onClicked: { console.log("---") console.log("Before: Menu mirrored:", someMenu.mirrored, "<-") console.log("Before: Mirroring enabled:", root.mirroringEnabled) root.mirroringEnabled = !root.mirroringEnabled console.log("After: Menu mirrored:", someMenu.mirrored, "<-") console.log("After: Mirroring enabled:", root.mirroringEnabled) } } }
and the code to get that thing running:
from PySide6.QtCore import QUrl from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication if __name__ == '__main__': app = QApplication([]) engine = QQmlApplicationEngine() engine.load(QUrl.fromLocalFile('window.qml')) if not engine.rootObjects(): sys.exit(-1) app.exec()
I'm working around it like this:
Menu {
id: root
readonly property bool mMirrored: root.count > 0 && itemAt(0).mirrored
x: mMirrored ? -width + parent.width : 0
}
But it'd be nice if it'd be fixed upstream
