Here's a snapshot of the GUI. I want to perform simple actions solely by clicking on QMenu object Help. This QMenu object does NOT have any submenus.
Can you please advise me how to perform actions when only the QMenu is clicked
Here's what I have tried, but I got an empty output.
mainwindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QSignalMapper>
namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT
public:
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();
private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
void createActions();
QSignalMapper *pSignalMapper;
private slots:
void help();
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H
mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
createActions();
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::createActions()
{
pSignalMapper = new QSignalMapper(this);
connect(ui->menuHelp, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction*)), this, SLOT(help()));
}
void MainWindow::help()
{
qDebug()<<"inside help qdialog";
}
main.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <ui_mainwindow.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
Output when I click on Help QMenu, absolutely nothing:
