Popup menu

[Oumayma]

Hello, I am using mousePressEvent to display an option from my menu, I have a condition where if I press the right button of my mouse, one of the options that I have in my menu is displayed. My problem has been that the menu is displayed in the middle of the screen and I would like it to be displayed below the menu option that I am displayed.
thanks.

void MainWindow:: mousePressEvent (QMouseEvent * evento)

{
if(evento->buttons() & Qt::RightButton){
QPoint point = ui->menuArchivo->pos();
ui->menuArchivo->popup(point);
}
}

@Oumayma

you want to display the Popup menu at any position of the screen Right ?

@Ketan__Patel__0011
no, I want the actions within a qmenu to appear below the menu option in question

I get this:

Hi,

From your drawing it seems you want a normal menu to be shown as when you left click on a menu.

Do you mean you only want to change one menu entry when right clicking ?

[Oumayma]

@SGaist Hello, I want that when I press the right click anywhere on my screen it appears the same as the second image.

[SGaist]

From your second image it seems you have clicked on the Archivo menu. Is that the effect you want ?

Note that this behaviour is going to disturb your users. If I right click somewhere on an application I certainly would think it's a bug that a menu opens like that rather than a contextual menu under the mouse pointer.

[Oumayma]

@SGaist yes that's the effect i want.

[SGaist]

What if you call the menu's popup exec method with no parameters ?

[Oumayma]

@SGaist what do you mean, can you explain me please?

[SGaist]

Sorry I meant exec.

[Oumayma]

When using the exec method I do not achieve the expected result, ¿ there is another method that can help me?.

thanks

@Oumayma Did you try ui->menuArchivo->exec() method as suggested by @SGaist

When using the exec method I do not achieve the expected result

What behavior that exec() is showing when used?

You have to pass the correct global coordinates for the popup to appear as stated in the documentation: Pops up the menu so that the action action will be at the specified global position p. To translate a widget's local coordinates into global coordinates, use QWidget::mapToGlobal().

@Oumayma
You now have at least 3 separate questions going on exactly this topic.

It is not nice to make different people respond to the same issue in different threads. It wastes/duplicates their efforts. Is it not reasonable to limit yourself to just one topic for this?

@JonB I did not notice it before answering this one. Therefore I close this now because it's an exact duplicate of https://forum.qt.io/topic/125327/qmenu-popup/
