Need to show a menu item with disabled look but functional

[lalesculiviu]

Hello!

I would like to present to the user of my software a menu, with a few actions disabled. But I want that if the user presses these disabled actions, he gets a message box to say that they must be enabled from the settings.

So, I want an enabled action, but with disabled look. Is that possible?

try to use Style Sheets, take a look at here (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qmenu).

Thank you, I looked there, but it seems that I can only style the whole menu. But I want to style only a few actions from the whole menu which has more actions.

I tried another approach, to use menu->palette and setPalette, but again the QAction has no palette.

then disable all necessary actions, install event filter (QObject::installEventFilter) for QMenu and then catch QMouseEvent. an action by mouse click point you can get using QMenu::actionAt

OK, thank you! I'll think of your solution.
