Checkable QActions (menu items) with Icons don't show check indicators.

[philw]

Is it true that if I add an icon to a checkable QAction, the icon is displayed INSTEAD OF the check indicator? See the accompanying image and code excerpt. Is there a way to display both? This is with Qt 4.8.5 on Windows.

void IconUtils::addWindowIconActions (QMenu* parMenu, QActionGroup* actGrp)
{
  actGrp->setExclusive (true);
 
  const QStringList iconNames = windowIconNames();
  const int cnt = iconNames.count();
 
  for (int inx = 0; inx < cnt; ++inx)
  {
     const QString iconName = iconNames [inx];
 
     QAction* winIconAction = new QAction (actGrp);
     winIconAction -> setObjectName (iconName);
     winIconAction -> setIcon (windowIconPixmap (iconName));
     winIconAction -> setData (QVariant (inx));
     winIconAction -> setCheckable (true);
     winIconAction -> setChecked (inx == 0);
 
     parMenu->addAction (winIconAction);
  }
}

void IconUtils::addWindowIconActions (QMenu* parMenu, QActionGroup* actGrp)
{
  actGrp->setExclusive (true);

  const QStringList iconNames = windowIconNames();
  const int cnt = iconNames.count();

  for (int inx = 0; inx < cnt; ++inx)
  {
     const QString iconName = iconNames [inx];

     QAction* winIconAction = new QAction (actGrp);
     winIconAction -> setObjectName (iconName);
     winIconAction -> setIcon (windowIconPixmap (iconName));
     winIconAction -> setData (QVariant (inx));
     winIconAction -> setCheckable (true);
     winIconAction -> setChecked (inx == 0);

     parMenu->addAction (winIconAction);
  }
}
