Not to close Menu on MenuItem Click

[ars1614]

Hi! I have a button with a menu like this:

Button {
	tooltip: qsTr("Filters")
	style: ButtonStyle {
		background: Rectangle {
			implicitWidth: TextSingleton.pixelDeviceRatio * 24
			implicitHeight: TextSingleton.pixelDeviceRatio * 24
			x: control.pressed ? -1 : 0
			y: control.pressed ? 1 : 0
			color: "transparent"
			Image {
				anchors.fill: parent
				source: control.hovered ? "qrc:///img/res/img/filters_w_hover.png" 
                                        : "qrc:///img/res/img/filters_w.png"
				mipmap: true
			}
		}
	}

	menu: Menu {
		id: filtersMenu
		
		MenuItem {
			id: menuItemTitle
			text: qsTr("Title")
			checkable: true
			checked: false  
		}

		MenuItem {
			id: menuItemDescription
			text: qsTr("Description")
			checkable: true
			checked: false
		}
	}
}

I would like the menu does not close when the items are clicked, to be able to select some filters without having to open the menu again.

Hi
All normal main menus ever known to man, has always closed when you choose an item.
So are u sure a menu is the right way of selecting filters ?

@mrjj For example, in many programs, when you are choosing toolbars, the rightmenu does not close what allows to choose some of them at once. I was thinking in implement the same.
From your answer... I suppose there's no way to do it with Menu component, doesn't it?

@ars1614
ok. never seen it then :)
I would not rule out you can override it closing on menu selection by subclassing
or using event filter.

Just changing MenuItem to CheckBox does the job. Menu stays as long as you clicking CheckBox items:

 Menu {
        CheckBox {
            text: "Item A"
            checkable: true
            checked: false
            onCheckedChanged: {
                console.debug("item A", checked)
            }
        }
        CheckBox {
            text: "Item B"
            checkable: true
            checked: false
            onCheckedChanged: {
                console.debug("item B", checked)
            }
        }
    }

This topic is still high in search results, so I think it would be helpful to post correct answer. Despite question is old it is still useful.
