How to execute QList "action" ?

[Anonymous_Banned275]

I have a verified / valid QList of actions.
How do I code to execute specific action ?

pTEST "childAt" is not an IteliSense option

parent->childAt is asking for x, y values

 QList <QObject *> pTEST = parent->children();

I have a verified / valid QList of actions.

No, you haven't.
The given List holds QObjectpointers, not actions. It's a QObjectList.
Most of the content items are QAction pointers, but not all of them. Its consistency as a list of actions has neither been properly verified, nor validated.

I am not entirely sure, what you mean by "execute". An action can't be executed, it has no exec()slot.
It can be triggered, by calling QAction::trigger(), in which case it emits it's triggered()signal. If a slot is connected to that signal, the slot will be called.

This is how to obtain a list of QActionchildren, and trigger all of them:

const auto actionList = pTEST->findChildren<QAction *>();
for (auto *action : actionList)
     action->trigger();

Dear @AnneRanch,
you are not supposed to simply delete posts, if they have become irrelevant and/or solved.
The rules in this forum are to mark them solved, when they are.
This is because they are likely to be a reference for others with similar issues.
