    QAction has a triggered() signal which is emitted when the user activates the menu entry representing the action

    This is what I have
    Qt Code:
    1. void MainWindow::slPopUpMenu()
    2. {
    3. QMenu *newMenu = new QMenu(this);
    4. newMenu->addAction(new QAction("Do that", this));
    5. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    how do get to the slot of the created action
    after it is triggered

    Im not seeing it!

    I even tried creating a action on the form, then I was able to go to slot
    but that how do I add that action to my menu?

    As I said, connect to the action's triggered() signal

    Qt Code:
    1. QAction *action = new QAction("Do that", this));
    2. connect(action, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SlOT(doThatSlot()));
    3. newMenu->addAction(action);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
