Arranging QMenu items horizontally

I have created a custom menu as a Popup. When I use addAction the items are arranged vertically. Is it possible to align the QMenu items horizontally?

Yeah, it's posible. You can implement your own QWidgetAction and add QToolButton in an horizontal layout do display the action:

class MyAction : public QWidgetAction
{
public:
    MyAction( QObject * parent ) :QWidgetAction(arent) {}
    void releaseWidget(QWidget * widget) {widget->deleteLater();}
    QWidget * requestWidget ( QWidget * parent ) {   
        //Then implement your own widget
        QWidget* widget = new QWidget(this);
        widget->setLayout(new QHBoxLayout(wdiget));
        widget->layout()->addWidget(new QToolButton("Example"));
        return widget;
    }
};

Other way its to set up the widget manually without subclassing:

QWidgetAction * wa = new QWidgetAction(this);    
wa->setDefaultWidget(new QPushButton("Default")); // Example a pushbutton

And then use it in your QMenu, you can add other actions or different widgets: 

MyWidgetAction *mwa = new MyWidgetAction(this);  //3
ui->menuBar->addAction( mwa ); //3 - noop. nothing added to menu bar
