QMenu / submenu issues...how to add QAction?

Anonymous_Banned275

I am still not sure how menu and its action relates.

I am adding a new menu into existing
, build by QtDesigner , menu.

Thanks to this forum help I can add checked box to submenu attached to the added menu.

I like to add "...->setCheckable(true); to the main , added , menu.
( I will tackle adding check boxes to QDesigner menus later.)

But I do not know how to add "action" to newly added QMenu - I am adding "just" menu - no action.

   QAction *qAction = m_ui->menuWindow_cpntrol->addAction( "Add TEST submenu" );
    //. QMenu* submenuTEST =m_ui->menuWindow_cpntrol->addMenu( "Add TEST memu" );
    //submenuTEST->setCheckable(true);
    QAction* actionTEST_Setup[3]; // = submenuTEST->addAction( "Add TEST submenu" );


    for ( int index = 0; index < 3 ; index++)
    {
        text = "Add TEST submenu";
        text += "  index ";
        text += QString::number(index);
        actionTEST_Setup[index] = submenuTEST->addAction( text );
        actionTEST_Setup[index]->setCheckable(true);
     }

There is no need for this. The checkbox appear automatically when you enable checkable.

Isn't this what you are doing here?!:

actionTEST_Setup[index] = submenuTEST->addAction( text );

You have your menu (the one created in designer) and your new submenuTEST.
After you add your QActions to your new menu and add this submenuTEST to your existing menu with addMenu

If you add actions to a menu and add this menu to another menu, they are all connected

@Pl45m4 I just fished the task adding menu and submenu. I could post the code , but it is still "under construction".
My main misunderstanding was the relation between menu and action.
