Problem in adding Qactions to frame.

[SId7117]

Hi,
I am trying to create a toolbar like structure using a qframe by adding some q actions with icons to it. But Qt doesnt seem to display the created actions on the GUI. Please correct me if i'm doing it wrong. Code is attached.

QIcon LEDicon;
LEDicon.addPixmap(QPixmap(":/Images/DILow.png"), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
LEDicon.addPixmap(QPixmap(":/Images/DIHigh.png"), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::On);

            //Create actions.
            QAction *DIOLine0 = new QAction(LEDicon, "DIOLine0", this);
            DIOLine0->setCheckable(true);
            QAction *DIOLine1 = new QAction(LEDicon, "DIOLine1", this);
            DIOLine1->setCheckable(true);

            QActionGroup  *DIOStatus = new QActionGroup(this);
            
            //Adding Actions to the group
           
            DIOStatus->addAction(DIOLine0);
            DIOStatus->addAction(DIOLine1);
            
            //Adding Actions to the frame.
            ui->frame->addActions(DIOStatus->actions());

Hi,

QAction has no visual representation. Typically QToolBar will create QToolButtons out of the information provided by QAction.

Adding QAction objects to a widget simply allows to trigger their associated shortcut when said widget has focus.
