Associating one menu with two QToolButton

[Ayush Gupta]

I have some menu with some QActions like

QMenu test = new QMenu;
QAction action1 = new QAction("test1",this);
QAction action2 = new QAction("test2",this);

Now adding QAction to menu
test->addAction(action1);
test->addAction(action2);

Now to QPushButton
QToolButton *button1 = new QToolButton(this);
QToolButton *button2 = new QToolButton(this);

attaching menu to QToolButton
button1->setMenu(test);
button2->setMenu(test);

Now I need to connect the signal to QAction test1,test2.

And do something according to the type of QPushButton. But how can I get to know the QPushButton type when I clicked on QAction since common menu is associated with two QToolButton.

Is this possible?

Hey,

you can check the Signals form QAction here: QAction - Signals.
Why you use QAction and not QPushButton?
QPushButton have a signal "clicked" ...

I don't know what you mean with "type", but you can connect a lambda to the clicked() signal from the buttons and pass additional parameters to the lambda to differentiate the buttons.

You can call sender() inside a slot to determine calling object and just compare, which button caused the slot to execute.

@umod-47 you can, but you shouldn't, let me quote the documentation
