qmenu

Is there a way in Qt to add a layout or widgets to a QMenu to create a custom menu? The example below (left) is what I have, and I'd like to aim for something similar to the mock-up on the right, by adding non-menu widgets. If it can't be done by QMenu , are there guides to produce similar results (perhaps by having a more standard widget act as a context menu) anywhere? Sure there is! In Qt, if there is a a will there is a way. You will probably need to make your own class that uses QMenu and uses a member QListWidget . You will then need to generate the layout and overload all the correct

My application uses a QTabWidget for multiple 'pages', where the top-level menu changes depending on what page the user is on. My issue is that attempting to re-create the contents of the menu bar results in major display issues. It works as expected with the first and third style (haven't tested second, but I'd rather not use that style) on all platforms except for Mac OS X. The first menu is created in the way I create most in the application, and they receive the correct title, but disappear as soon as the menu is re-created. The second menu appears both on the initial population and the re

I'm using Qt 4.7.4 on Mac OS X 10.7.4 , and I'm trying to add a QMenuBar and a QMenu to my application without success. When looking for examples, I found the Basic Layouts and the screenshot of the interface on Windows displays the File menu, which is what I'm trying to do: However , running this example on Mac OS X doesn't show the File menu inside the application window: and it also doesn't show in the top Mac OS X bar: It seems that this is either a bug of Qt 4.7.4 on Mac OS X, or we are required to do some tweaks on the source code to make it work on Mac. How can I fix this problem? I've

I am writing a popup menu for a Qt push button widget. Whenever the push button is clicked, a menu pops up (below the push button). The popup menu is left-sided below by default. Are there any ways to make the popup menu to pop up on the right side below the push button? There is no set position function, so I wonder if there is some sophisticated way of doing it? Here is some code (for popup menu): QMenu *menuMode = new QMenu(this); min = menu ->addAction("In"); mout = menu ->addAction("out"); ui->pushButtonMode->setMenu(menuMode); //I am writing in MainWindow, that's there is ui This can be

I'm creating a text editor and I'd like to put the QComboBox in the QMenu . I didn't find any method inside the QMenu that handled such a thing. The closest is QMenu::addAction() . I was wondering of getting around this hurdle. Thanks! pnezis You have to subclass QWidgetAction and then simply call the addAction to your menu. Example code for Spin Box Action with a label class SpinBoxAction : public QWidgetAction { public: SpinBoxAction (const QString& title) : QWidgetAction (NULL) { QWidget* pWidget = new QWidget (NULL); QHBoxLayout* pLayout = new QHBoxLayout(); QLabel* pLabel = new QLabel

I am trying to simulate a mouse click on a QMenu item from a QMenuBar, for example clicking on "Save As" QAction using the QTestLib framework. I am triyng this under Windows XP 32 bit and Qt 5.0.2. Any Ideas? Probably this question is not relevant for question owner, but I suppose it could be helpful for others. Unlike QToolBar , QMenu doesn't have method widgetForAction . I found a simple workaround for this case. Try popup menu with QTest::mouseClick if nothing happens try to use QTest::keyClick(..., first_char_in_menu_tite, Qt::AltModifier) . To simulate action execution you can navigate

I am new in Qt (PyQt) and I am trying to make an app whose functions will be executed from menubars/system trays. A perfect example is show here: I cannot find a good resource on how I can do this. Can someone advice. Thanks. I think you are looking for working with QMenu and QMainWindow for the menu part, at least. Here you can find a C++ example: Menus Example and here a PyQt4 example: Menus and Toolbars in PyQt4 Here is the code inline for your convenience: import sys from PyQt4 import QtGui class Example(QtGui.QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super(Example, self).__init__() self.initUI()
