Title Bar Window

Many programs today have moved the drop-down menus from a separate toolbar to the title bar of the program (which is basically a waste of space otherwise).

This code implements a title bar window, with drop down menus on the title bar of the program. It creates a QMainWindow without the built-in title bar and a title bar to replace it.

It will not work if your QMainWindow has a QToolBar. Qt insists on placing the ToolBar at the top of the Window with no option to move it, so it will conflict with the MenuBar created here. Still looking for a solution.

The classes are:

BorderLessWindow Create a plain Window with no decorations. The Window can be set as dragable with left mouse, or with both the left and right mouse buttons. The default is not draggable and left mouse only.

DragableMenu QMenuBar's are not normally moved with the mouse. This class creates a QMenuBar that will drag it's parent window using the mouse.

TitleBarWindow This is a Window with a QMenuBar and min,max, and close buttons on the title bar. No items are added to the QMenuBar. They should be added by a child class.

If using Designer: 1. promote your QMenuBar to DragableMenu 2. call TitleBarWindow(false) to disable addTools() 3. call addTools(DragableMenu *) with your MenuBar created in Designer
