I believe you would want to use QtActionGroup to group those menu items which should be mutually exclusive. It also makes them look like a radio button when rendered. Smth like this:

QActionGroup* group = new QActionGroup( this );

ui->actionTest1->setCheckable(true);
ui->actionTest2->setCheckable(true);
ui->actionTest3->setCheckable(true);

ui->actionTest1->setActionGroup(group);
ui->actionTest2->setActionGroup(group);
ui->actionTest3->setActionGroup(group);

3 menu items above should be groped together; more details here : QActionGroup Class Reference
