annotate widgets/SubdividingMenu.h @ 177:dbd34ff746c7

* Update the main sv.prf for compatibility with Qt 4.2 qmake instead of
  that from 4.1.  Add a README.Qt41 describing how to build with 4.1 if
  preferred.
* Add OSC support for control from external scripts etc (work in progress).

/**
 * A menu that divides its entries into submenus, alphabetically.  For
 * menus that may contain a very large or small number of named items
 * (e.g. plugins).
 *
 * The menu needs to be told, before any of the actions are added,
 * what the set of entry strings will be, so it can determine a
 * reasonable categorisation.  Do this by calling the setEntries()
 * method.  If it isn't practical to do this in advance, then add the
 * entries and call entriesAdded() afterwards instead.
