QAction's menu() returns NULL

raghaw

Iam trying to retrieve the name of QAction's menu to which its belongs.

i am dynamically creating QActions and adding to QMenu

@void MainWindow::addSubProfiles(QString aProfileType, QString aDirectoryName, QString aDirectoryPath)
{
QMenu *loMainMenu = new QMenu();
m_titleBar->m_UserProfileMenu->addMenu(loMainMenu);
loMainMenu->addSeparator();

loMainMenu->setTitle(QString(aProfileType) + QString(" (") + aDirectoryName + QString(")"));
loMainMenu->addSeparator();

QStringList loDirFileNames;
QDirIterator loFileNamesIter(aDirectoryPath, QDir::Files | QDir::NoSymLinks | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, QDirIterator::NoIteratorFlags);
while(loFileNamesIter.hasNext())
{
    loFileNamesIter.next();
    loDirFileNames << loFileNamesIter.fileName().remove(".ini");
    QString loStrNames = loFileNamesIter.fileName().remove(".ini");

    QAction *loProfileActions = new QAction(loStrNames, loMainMenu);
    loProfileActions->setFont(EyGlobalUtilities::getUtilInstance()->getFont());
    loProfileActions->setCheckable(true);

    theProfilesActGrp->addAction(loProfileActions);//theProfilesActGrp->QActionAgroup
    loMainMenu->addAction(loProfileActions);
    connect(loProfileActions, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(onProfileClicked()));
}


m_titleBar->m_UserProfileMenu->addSeparator();

}

void EyGuiMainWindow::onProfileClicked()
{
QAction loSenderAction = qobject_cast<QAction>(sender());

qDebug()<<"Currently Active avtion NAme"<<loSenderAction->text();
qDebug()<<"Currently Active action ActionGroup"<<loSenderAction->menu();
if(loSenderAction->menu() == NULL)
{
    qDebug()<<"Menu is NULL";
}
setDeleteProfileOption(true);

}@

here Menu is NULL i recieved .Can anybody let me know what iam doing wrong?

Hey,

You are thinking in the wrong direction!

a QAction can contain a QMenu (as a child item)

and if set, menu() returns this child menu item... (not the parent)

To iterate in the other direction you should call parent() (QObject method)

@
qDebug()<<"Currently Active action ActionGroup"<<loSenderAction->parent()->metaObject()->className();
@
// outputs >> Currently Active action ActionGroup QMenu
