[Solved] How to detect Menu closed or dismissal?

qt_sur

Hi,

I need to show certain visual changes on the UI only during the time when the Menu object is opened and user is about to select something. But the issue occurs when the user just dismisses the Menu and doesn't select anything - I can't seem to get any signals back. Here is the code from a simple test app:

@import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Controls 1.0 // needed for Label, Button

Rectangle {
width: 600
height: 600

Rectangle {
    id: clickableRect
    focus: true

    color: "red"
    width: 300
    height: 300
    anchors.centerIn: parent

    ExclusiveGroup {
        id: myGroup
    }

    Menu {
        id: myMenu

        onVisibleChanged: {
            console.log("myMenu : onVisibleChanged");
        }
        onEnabledChanged: {
            console.log("myMenu : onEnabledChanged");
        }

// on__menuClosed: { // <---- This appears to be a private signal but Qt Creator still allows me to auto complete this signal handler. However, runtime doesn't allow execution.
// It says "Cannot assign to non-existent property "on__menuClosed"
// console.log("myMenu : on__menuClosed");
// }

        MenuItem {
            text: "Menu Item 1"
            checkable: true
            exclusiveGroup: myGroup
        }
        MenuItem {
            text: "Menu Item 2"
            checkable: true
            exclusiveGroup: myGroup
        }
    } // Menu

    onFocusChanged: {
        console.log("clickableRect : onFocusChanged");
    }
    onActiveFocusChanged: {
        console.log("clickableRect : onActiveFocusChanged");
    }
}


MouseArea {
    anchors.fill: parent
    onClicked: {
        //myFocusScope.focus = false;
        clickableRect.focus = false;
        myMenu.popup();
    }
    onFocusChanged: {
        console.log("MouseArea : onFocusChanged");
    }
    onActiveFocusChanged: {
        console.log("MouseArea : onActiveFocusChanged");
    }
}


onFocusChanged: {
    console.log("root Rectangle : onFocusChanged");
}
onActiveFocusChanged: {
    console.log("root Rectangle : onActiveFocusChanged");
}

}

I also tried some stuff with FocusScope but couldn't make it to work. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

No responses so far; is it safe to assume that no such mechanism exist to detect the closing or dismissal of the Menu object? Does that mean I need to implement my own context Menu?

Haven't found any resolution yet. I am assuming that this might just be a bug with the new Qt 5.3 (at least on Windows); another person on the #qt-quick IRC channel had the same assumption.

So logged a bug: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-39740#comment-247757

As per the bug report comment, there seems to be a work around (for now, at least). So closing of this forum post as "Solved".
"
on__PopupVisibleChanged: console.log("visible " + __popupVisible)
The implementation can change without warning in future versions of Qt, but you could use it as a workaround for now.
"

The issue is being picked up as a feature request, for Qt 5.4.
