How to correctly assign a QMenu to QAction in Qt 6.2?

rkhaotix

Hey guys,

I'm porting my project from Qt 5.15.2 to Qt 6.2.4.

So, in my code, I have a lot of QAction instances that make use of QMenu for dynamic submenus configuration depending on the user's input like this:

q_menu->addAction(act);
q_menu->addAction(act1);
q_menu->addAction(act2);
...
q_action->setMenu(q_menu);

Reading the docs, I found that QAction::setMenu() and QAction::menu() are deprecated, this way my code is failing to build again! :(

My question is, what's the correct way to assign a menu to an action? Couldn't find anything that could give me some direction.

I hope you can give me some hints!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

From a quick look at the QMenu documentation, I would say you shall use QMenu::menuAction.

So build your "sub-menu" and retrieve its action to store it in "q_action".
