I am trying to implement a popupmenu, but seam to fail somehow. (If this is considered as a newbie question move it there)

I placed the menu in a new class. I have mainly groups where a single action out of a group shall be selected. But I see neither a selection nor can I select anything. So what am I doing wrong?

Qt Code: 
  1. #ifndef QPLOT3DMENU_H_
  2. #define QPLOT3DMENU_H_
  3.  
  5. class QAction;
  6. #include <QtGui/QMenu>
  7.  
  8. class QPlot3DMenu : public QMenu
  9. {
  10. 	Q_OBJECT
  11. public:
  12. 	QPlot3DMenu(QWidget* parent = 0);
  13. 	virtual ~QPlot3DMenu();
  14.  
  15. private:
  16.     QMenu *menuCoordinate_style;
  17.  
  18.     QAction *actionBox;
  19.     QAction *actionFrame;
  20.     QAction *actionNone;
  21.  
  22.     QActionGroup *alignmentGroupCoordinateStyle;
  23.  
  24. private:
  25. 	void setupUi(QWidget* parent);
  26. 	void retranslateUi(QWidget *widget);
  27. };
  28. #endif

The icons are not shown either. However I have never used resources and have no idea how to integrate them into Visual Studio correct.
