[Solved] Python/Pyqt - QtCore.Qt.RightButton not responding

needhelp_gh

Hi,

I'm trying to create a right-click menu.

All QShortCuts with keyboard buttons work, but not mouse-click QShortcuts...Here is my code:

@shortcut = QtGui.QShortcut(QtGui.QKeySequence(QtCore.Qt.RightButton), parent)
// popupMenu func code
widget.connect(shortcut, QtCore.SIGNAL("activated()"), popupMenu)@

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks!!

Any ideas?

Hi,

I'm not sure that you can use QShortcut in this way. However, QWidget has a built in approach to capturing right mouse clicks and rendering context menus as the following example shows:

@
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

class Widget(QWidget):
def init(self, parent=None):
QWidget.init(self, parent)

    self.setContextMenuPolicy(Qt.CustomContextMenu)
    self.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.showMenu)

def showMenu(self, pos):
    menu=QMenu(self)
    menu.addAction(QAction("Item 1", menu))
    menu.addAction(QAction("Item 2", menu))
    menu.addAction(QAction("Item 3", menu))
    menu.popup(self.mapToGlobal(pos))

if name=="main":
from sys import argv, exit
a=QApplication(argv)
w=Widget()
w.show()
exit(a.exec_())
@

Hope this helps ;o)
