QLineEdit contextMenu

[^NyAw^]

Hi,

I have a class inherited from QLineEdit and I want to show a custom context Menu.

MyLineEdit::MyLineEdit(QWidget *parent) : QLineEdit(parent)
{
	ui.setupUi(this);
	this->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
}
 
void MyLineEdit::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event)
{
	//Never enters here
	QMenu* pqMenu = new QMenu();
	pqMenu->addAction(tr("Firts"));
	pqMenu->addAction(tr("Second"));
	pqMenu->exec(event->globalPos());
	delete (pqMenu);
}

MyLineEdit::MyLineEdit(QWidget *parent) : QLineEdit(parent)
{
	ui.setupUi(this);
	this->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
}

void MyLineEdit::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event)
{
	//Never enters here
	QMenu* pqMenu = new QMenu();
	pqMenu->addAction(tr("Firts"));
	pqMenu->addAction(tr("Second"));
	pqMenu->exec(event->globalPos());
	delete (pqMenu);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In the header file I have:

protected:
	void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event);

protected:
	void contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Anyone knows what is the problem?

Thanks,

Hi

Sorry, I don't undersand why, but I have recompiled all the project and now it works.

use instead QLineEdit::createStandardContextMenu().
Also, make sure contextMenuPolicy is not set to Qt::NoContextMenu.

Yes, but using the solution I posted is more efficient because you create the menu only once, not every time you show it.

You solution is good if tou want to customize the menu according to some runt-time options ( maybe add or remove items from it ), etc.
