Qmenu::findChild is not working properly

[Qt Enthusiast]

Hi All
The QMenu findChild is not working properly

QMenu* lMenu;
QMenu* existingMenu = lMenu->findChild<QMenu*>(QString("A..."));
if (!existingMenu)
lMenu->addMenu("A...");

Can someone help me to solve the same . In this case existing menu is always NULL athat is why A... gets added multiple times

@Qt-Enthusiast said in Qmenu::findChild is not working properly:

findChild

the string you define in findchild specifies the objectname. Newly, by code not designer, created Objects have an empty string as ObjectName.

could you please code for me

untested.

QMenu* lMenu;
QMenu* existingMenu = lMenu->findChild<QMenu*>(QString("A..."));
if (!existingMenu){
     existingMenu  = new  QMenu("A...");
     existingMenu->setObjectName("A...");
     lMenu->addMenu(existingMenu);
}
