[maveric]

hi all,

i am new to this world of qt...
I need to create an application where on my window if i take right click i need to get a context menu.. with some actions like cut, copy, paste, select all, etc....

menu = new QMenu(this);
menu->addAction("Cut");
menu->addAction("Copy");
menu->addAction("Paste");
menu->addSeparator();
menu->addAction("Select All");
......(list goes to 10)....
 
connect(menu, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction*)), SLOT(triggeredSlot(QAction*)));

menu = new QMenu(this);
menu->addAction("Cut");
menu->addAction("Copy");
menu->addAction("Paste");
menu->addSeparator();
menu->addAction("Select All");
......(list goes to 10)....

connect(menu, SIGNAL(triggered(QAction*)), SLOT(triggeredSlot(QAction*)));

Is menu a member variable of your class ??

I guess u have not declared it

Hi,
I have done something similar in python, I would assume the situation to be no different in C++. Here it goes:

you can put the signals & slot connections in your class contructor for the plot:
self.connect(self,
SIGNAL('plotMouseMoved(const QMouseEvent&)'),
self.onMouseMoved)
self.connect(self,
SIGNAL('plotMouseReleased(const QMouseEvent&)'),
self.onMouseReleased)
# end of __init__() - nothing more is required here.

def onMouseMoved(self, e):
pass

def on MouseReleased(self,e):
# bind popUp menu event to popUp menu
popupEvent = QContextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent.Mouse,e.pos(), False)

if Qt.RightButton == e.button(): # right-mouse button clicked
#you can set you own condition to accept() the pop-Up event and then can create the pop-up menu according to your needs.
popupEvent.accept() # accept the pop-Up event - show the pop-Up menu

#create the menu here

For the C++ code,
i am not very sure what is going wrong.

Thanks
Kaustav.
