Unable to copy values of QLabel

Qt Enthusiast

One more question , I want to copy text next to checkbox in following code

QGroupBox* checkGroupBox = NULL;
QGroupBox* LabelGroupBox = NULL;
QGridLayout *checkGroupBoxLayout = NULL;
QGridLayout *labelGroupBoxLayout = NULL;

int crow = 0, ccol = 0, lrow = 0, lcol = 0;
for (mymap<string,string>::iterator ni =tab.begin(); ni; ni++) {
string attrName = ni.object();
string attrValue = ni.value();

if (attrValue == "true" || attrValue == "false") {
  if (!attrCheckGroupBox) {
checkGroupBox = new  QGroupBox(name);
checkGroupBoxLayout = new  QGridLayout;
checkGroupBox->setLayout(attrCheckGroupBoxLayout);
checkGroupBox->setEnabled(true); /* read only */
  }

  QCheckBox* attrCheckBox = new QCheckBox((str_t)"attName");
  attrCheckGroupBoxLayout->addWidget(attrCheckBox, crow, ccol);
  attrCheckBox->setChecked(attrValue == "true");

Hi
"cop text next to checkbox "'
Sounds strange to me ?

Do you mean , you want to create a new Label and sets it text and insert into the layout, next to the checkbox?

@Qt-Enthusiast
Are you asking How to get text ?
checkbox->text() gives it

Qt Enthusiast

No I should have pop up with Copy QAction and also should be able to select and copy and paste with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V

@Qt-Enthusiast
So you want to add a context menu to it ?
Like edit has ?
I think you must create it yourself.

Can u help
for coding and how to impliment CTRL +C and CTRL V

mrjj

@Qt-Enthusiast
It will be the same as any other menu using shortcuts etc.

Maybe go look for some sample. I dont have any.
its not trivial to replicate the default context menu.
It will take some code.

Maybe other have a better idea. I guess this has been asked before. so give it some time and see :)

I would look into
QLineEdit::createStandardContextMenu().

maybe you can just hook it to the checkbox

Qt Enthusiast

Anu reference code for the same

https://forum.qt.io/topic/31233/how-to-create-a-custom-context-menu-for-qtableview

key points being
setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
connect(table, SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested(QPoint)),SLOT(customMenuRequested(QPoint)));

@Qt-Enthusiast

Also, please dont RUSH over
QLineEdit::createStandardContextMenu().

You be able to create it this way and then just connect the signals to your slots to copy
the text.

I did not try this but it might save you time.
