how to add qaction to the menu in qtoolbar

Mikeeeeee

Hi!
In qtoolbar, a drop-down menu appears when you right-click. How do I add qaction to this menu?

Ratzz

Did you mean add an QAction to QToolbar?

toolbar = QToolBar("My main toolbar")
self.addToolBar(toolbar)

action = QAction("Your button", self)
toolbar.addAction(action)

@Ratzz said in how to add qaction to the menu in qtoolbar:

toolbar.addAction(action)

So QAction will be added to the toolBar, but I need to add it to the menu that opens when the right mouse button is clicked

jsulm

@Mikeeeeee There are many addAction(...) methods in QMenu. Also see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#customContextMenuRequested

@Mikeeeeee
So search the https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmenu.html page for all the addAction() methods?

But I don't think that's what you mean. Can't run Qt right now, but if you say there is a menu when you right-click a QToolbar, does How to add an entry to toolbar context menu in qt? answer what you want to do?

Mikeeeeee

How can I get this menu from the toolBar and add QAction to it?

@Mikeeeeee
Is that not exactly what the stackoverflow post I pointed you to addresses?

That's not it. I already have a menu in the toolbar. The menu is created automatically. How can I get a pointer to a menu and add qaction to it?

Hi,

What do you have currently in that drop down menu ?
How are your initialization that toolbar ?
What exactly is your goal with these additional actions ?

Mikeeeeee

Now the menu has change the visibility of the toolbar and dockwidget. I want to add the visibility of other dockwidgets.

SGaist

Then add the the other dock widgets toggle actions to it.

Mikeeeeee

How can I do this?

SGaist

The same way you did for the other dock widget.

Mikeeeeee

It's impossible. What else can you do??

SGaist

Well, something different.

Seriously, how do you except to get an answer when you do not show your code, do not explain what you tried, in fact just nothing ?

Mikeeeeee

I don't show my code because my code isn't there. I put widgets in the designer and the menu appeared automatically. Now I need to get a pointer to this menu.

This is not magic. You can learn an awful lot by looking at the code generated into the ui....h file (in the debug output folder) from uic. Hopefully you will see how this menu is generated, and how you might access it.
