Unsolved Weird behavior of checkable action toggling in a QMenu
-
def _buildSceneContextMenu(self): menu = QMenu() place_menu = menu.addMenu('Place') place_led = place_menu.addAction('LED') place_button = place_menu.addAction('Button') self._placeActions = [place_led, place_button] for action in self._placeActions: action.setCheckable(True) action.triggered.connect(lambda: self._placeActionTriggered(action)) place_led.setChecked(True) # place_led.triggered.connect(lambda b: None) return menu def _placeActionTriggered(self, action): for action1 in self._placeActions: if action != action1: action1.setChecked(False) action.setChecked(True)
This doesn't work as expected. LED starts off checked, and I can click Button and it gets checked, but I can't switch back to LED. It is not a case of the lambda's getting mixed up for which you would need another function to connect the triggered signal - I checked the address of action parameter in _placeActionTriggered. I can't use a QActionGroup, because it simply did not work (no radios or checks presented).

No, it is a case of the signal connections getting mixed up, because this fixed it:
self._placeActions = [place_led, place_button] def connectPlaceActionTrigger(action): action.triggered.connect(lambda: self._placeActionTriggered(action)) for action in self._placeActions: action.setCheckable(True) connectPlaceActionTrigger(action)
