[ankurjain]

hi jpn,
thanx 4 replying but can u explain a bit more ... u c i m a novice ... i m also already trying to solve this the same way u say. but how shall i call contextmenu functions on the header . please also hav a look at the code in 1st post.
i hav defined 2 functions there, how shall i call those functions....

Ok, sorry for not being clear and understandable enough.
I meant something like this:

void QGrid::setUpContextMenu()
{
    ...
    horizontalHeader()->addAction(someAct);
    horizontalHeader()->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::ActionsContextMenu);
    // and the same goes for verticalHeader..
}

void QGrid::setUpContextMenu()
{
    ...
    horizontalHeader()->addAction(someAct);
    horizontalHeader()->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::ActionsContextMenu);
    // and the same goes for verticalHeader..
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

thank you jpn,

my problem is solved ( except that my program crashes on clicking any items of context menu, i will solve that ).

I am also having one more problem, i had assigned shortcutkeys to these actions via

cutAct->setShortcut(tr("Ctrl+X"));

cutAct->setShortcut(tr("Ctrl+X"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But this doesn't seem to work. is there some mistake in that ?

Hmm, I don't see anything wrong with that..
Have you tried to change the shortcut context for that action? Try setting it to Qt::ApplicationShortcut.

hi jpn,

i tried what u told, but still no use. FYI i am also using some delegates in the table. can it cause some problems ?

[jpn]

Hmm, if you are using the actions context menu policy I'm not really sure what's the problem.
As the action is created somewhere in the constructor or so, that it exists during the lifetime of the widget, the action should be triggered as well.
Maybe the shortcut event goes to a wrong widget or something.

Anyway, how about this way, does it work?

QShortcut* copyShortcut = new QShortcut(QKeySequence("Ctrl+C"), this);
connect(copyShortcut, SIGNAL(activated()), copyAct, SLOT(trigger()));

QShortcut* copyShortcut = new QShortcut(QKeySequence("Ctrl+C"), this);
connect(copyShortcut, SIGNAL(activated()), copyAct, SLOT(trigger()));

Hi ankur,

Did your concept worked? Could you please let me know some coding part regarding the copying into clipboard and pasting back from clipboard. Even my requirement is same. It would be great if yo can share your dll/code.

Thanks in advance,
Nikhil
