adding "action" to menu....
-
Is there a compressive ":how to " add "action to existing menu ?
Should I start in QDesigner "form" ?
I cannot get the "in use " checked...
and of course none of these changes show up in QCreator until fully coded...
actually - u-tube would be nice - step by step....?

There's only one step, so I don't think a video is necessary: drag&drop the action onto the menu you want to put it in.
The "Used" column is only information that tells you if given action is used somewhere. It's not for you to check/uncheck.

OK, let me do this
how do I DELETE the TEST menu ?
After that - I want to delete "menuBluetooth and start over
add new menu "Bluuetooth" .All I am getting is "TYPE here " and no way to say "save it " .
There is no obvious "drag and drop" ...

Right click on it in the object tree and select "Remove".

Same. Right click on it in the object tree and select "Remove".
That's how you delete menus. To delete an action right click on it in the actions window and select "Delete" (a bit of option naming inconsistency but whatever).
add new menu "Bluuetooth" .
All I am getting is "TYPE here " and no way to say "save it " .Double click on "Type Here", type the text you want to see and hit enter. If you do that on a menu bar it will add a menu. If you do that inside a menu it will add an action.

Drag & drop is for existing actions. They are listed in the actions window. You dag it from there and drop it in the preview window of your form onto the menu you want to put it in.
If you want to create a new action that's not yet on the list you can use the "Type Here" method mentioned above. That will create a new action and add it to the menu. Alternatively you can create an action by clicking the "New" icon on the toolbar of the actions window and then drag&drop it onto a menu.
