I finally managed to get a top menu bar to appear, not sure i've put the code in the correct place though, I put it at the bottom and the code is:

Code:

if __name__ == "__main__":
	app=QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
	mainWindow = myProgram()
	mainWindow.show()
	
	menubar = QtGui.QMenuBar(mainWindow)
	menubar.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect(0,0,800,21))
	menubar.setObjectName("menubar")
	
	menufile=QtGui.QMenu(menubar)
	menufile.setObjectName("menufile")
	
	mainWindow.setMenuBar(menubar)
	
	actionupdateall = QtGui.QAction(mainWindow)
	actionupdateall.setObjectName("actionupdateall")
	actionupdateall.setText("Settings")
	
	menufile.addSeparator()
	menufile.addAction(actionupdateall)
	menubar.addAction(menufile.menuAction())
	menufile.setTitle(QtGui.QApplication.translate("mainWindow","File",None,QtGui.QApplication.UnicodeUTF8))
	
	sys.exit(app.exec_())

As I said not sure its in the correct place all, i'm thinking maybe class could be created and I could have this in another file - at the min, everything is in one :-[

I was looking in gpodder though, when you click the 'settings' button in that, another menu pops up from the bottom, is that something to do with the status bar?

Is there anywhere which describes each of the different things you can do? As a python beginner I am finding it tough to find good easy to follow examples online

That sounds like a dialogue box.

Yeah, i have found out its a dialogue box by going through the nokia handbook, thanks.

[Rant]
But where is all the documentation on how to do these kinds of things?

Surely there must be some kind of way of finding out snippets of how to do certain things such as:

Stackable windows (as discussed in this thread)
Dialogues
Menubar Items
Reading/Saving to Files
Opening Connections

As well as good explanations about how to use widgets and what they do, for example QTreeView.

Im finding it very hard to find the information I need, I know exactly what I want to do, and if I could find examples of similar things it would be sooooo many easier! But hey thats programming!

I'll get on!

Btw, if you run a command, shouldn't they get run in order so if I ran...

[doSomething]
[doSomething that may take long time]
[doSomething]

If the first doSomething set some text to be something, shouldn't that come up, followed by a wait, followed by the second text? At the minute I get a wait... then the second set of text, it ignores the first bit.

(Im looking in to toggling the busy circular attribute on windows)

Edit: Sorry this is completely off the original topic now
