QML ApplicationWindow: set minimum size to fit content - qt

Question

I would like to set the minimum width and height of my QML Application window, so that the content item is fully visible (not clipped).
import QtQuick 2.5
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
ApplicationWindow {
visible: true
width: 100
height: 100
title: "test"
minimumWidth: circle.width
minimumHeight: circle.height // + menuBar.height
menuBar: MenuBar {
Menu {
title: qsTr("File")
MenuItem {
text: qsTr("Exit")
onTriggered: Qt.quit();
}
}
}
Rectangle {
id: circle
anchors.centerIn: parent
width: 200
height: 200
color: "red"
radius: width * 0.5
}
}
Here is the result:
As you can see, setting the minimum width works fine. The minimum height seems to be off by the height of the menu bar. The problem is, adding something like menuBar.height does not work as this property does not exist.
So the question is: how do I set the size of the ApplicationWindow, so that the content item (given by width/height or implicitWidth/implicitHeight) is not clipped?
Note: In reality, instead of a red circle, the content item serves as a game canvas, which I would like to resize dynamically.

Answer 1

As always with the old QtQuick.Controls 1.x the only way to help yourself is, to look at the (undocumented/internal) properties. For the MenuBar those are:
objectName
menus
__contentItem
__parentWindow
__isNative
style
__style
__menuBarComponent
objectNameChanged
menusChanged
nativeChanged
contentItemChanged
styleChanged
__styleChanged
__menuBarComponentChanged
__contentItem seems to be interesting, and it features a height - as soon as it is instantiated.
So we can define the height of the ApplicationWindow as such:
minimumHeight: contentItem.childrenRect.height
+ (menuBar.__contentItem ? menuBar.__contentItem.height : 0)
