## Detailed Description

ApplicationWindow is a Window that adds convenience for positioning items, such as MenuBar, ToolBar, and StatusBar in a platform independent manner.

      ApplicationWindow {
          id: window
          visible: true

          menuBar: MenuBar {
              Menu { MenuItem {...} }
              Menu { MenuItem {...} }
          }

          toolBar: ToolBar {
              RowLayout {
                  anchors.fill: parent
                  ToolButton {...}
              }
          }

          TabView {
              id: myContent
              anchors.fill: parent
              ...
          }
      }

Note: By default, an ApplicationWindow is not visible.

The Qt Quick Controls - Gallery example is a good starting point to explore this type.

## Property Documentation

contentItem : ContentItem

This group holds the size constraints of the content item. This is the area between the ToolBar and the StatusBar. The ApplicationWindow will use this as input when calculating the effective size constraints of the actual window. It holds these 6 properties for describing the minimum, implicit and maximum sizes:

Grouped property | Description
--- | ---
contentItem.minimumWidth | The minimum width of the content item.
contentItem.minimumHeight | The minimum height of the content item.
contentItem.implicitWidth | The implicit width of the content item.
contentItem.implicitHeight | The implicit height of the content item.
contentItem.maximumWidth | The maximum width of the content item.
contentItem.maximumHeight | The maximum height of the content item.

menuBar : MenuBar

This property holds the MenuBar.

By default, this value is not set.

statusBar : Item

This property holds the status bar Item.

It can be set to any Item type, but is generally used with StatusBar.

By default, this value is not set. When you set the status bar item, it will be anchored automatically into the application window.

See also Qt Quick Controls Styles QML Types.

toolBar : Item

This property holds the toolbar Item.

It can be set to any Item type, but is generally used with ToolBar.
