Is there any reason why a QMenu cannot be added from the Qt Designer? I find it weird that you can add other widget types but not this.
I have a single main window with a QGraphicsView and lots of QGraphicsItem objects.  Each type of the Items have a different context menu.
I find that not being able to create the contextMenu's, or at least the actions that are in them a serious limitation of QtDesigner.  It means that I can create about 10% or so of the actions using the designer, and I have to create 90% programaticaly.  Compare that with the Microsoft resource editor which allows all of these things to be created, and maintained effortlessly.  
I hope this will be addressed at some point.
how can I add a QMenu and QMenuItems to a window from Qt Designer
