Created sub-menus slots won't work

[thefatladysingsopera]

I have created two sub menus in my save button using the code below.


QMenu *menu = new QMenu(this);

QAction *saveAction = menu->addAction("Save New");
QAction *editAction = menu->addAction("Save Edits");

ui.saveButton->setMenu(menu);

connect(saveAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(saveNew()));
connect(editAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(saveEdits()));

The project compiles without any errors but when i click any of the sub-menus i have created,the saveAction or the editAction slots won't execute.

What i am i doing wrong?.

Did you not forget to use the 'slots' or Q_SLOTS in your header?
Are you slots private perhaps?
Is the slot signature correct?

Also, check your app console output, Qt will print warning messages if connect statement is not correct (invalid signal / slot names etc).
