I want to add, submenu to a menu item dynamically. How can I achive this?
I tried like this, I have created an Action and submenu. Then I have added the submenu to action. But, I have connected the “triggered” signal of action. its getting crash if I click on the action..
I have also handled the “aboutToShow” signal of menu, same its also getting crash when I click on action..
Here is the sampe code.
Submenu = new QMenu(this);
connect(Submenu, SIGNAL( aboutToShow()), this, SLOT(move ()));
QAction *test = new QAction(tr("Selection"), this);
test ->setMenu(Submenu);
menubar()->addAction(test);
I want to get the notification, before the display of submenu..
additonal information:
pleas try this code, in your main window constructor.
QAction *action = new QAction("Test",this);
QAction *dummyaction = new QAction("Testing",this);
QMenu *menu = new QMenu();
menu->addAction(dummyaction);
bool val= connect(menu, SIGNAL( aboutToShow()), this, SLOT( Move()));
val= connect(menu, SIGNAL( aboutToHide()), this, SLOT(Move()));
action->setMenu(menu);
this->menuBar()->addAction(action);
if I do like this, I am able to see one submenu item. But before that Move slot should call, its not getting called.. and even before hide also the same slot should call.. its not coming..
I tried the return values of connect.. its true only… so what is wrong with my code.. please say..
Such code should work:
QMainWindow wnd;
QAction *act = wnd.menuBar()->addMenu("SomeMenu")->addMenu("someSubmenu")->addAction("someAction");
QObject::connect(act,SIGNAL(triggered()),
someObj,SLOT(actionReaction()));
I think addMenu() addAction() should work in more reliable way. This approach works for me.
