Multiple actions on right click on label

[BigBen]

Hi.

I am using the following code to right click on a label and see a context menu:

void MainWindow::ShowContextMenu(const QPoint& pos)
{
    QLabel* mylabel = qobject_cast<QLabel*>(sender());
    QPoint globalPos = mylabel->mapToGlobal(pos);

    QMenu myMenu;
    myMenu.addAction("Hide");
    //myMenu.addAction("Highlight");
    QAction* selectedItem = myMenu.exec(globalPos);
    if (selectedItem)
    {
       qInfo()<<"Hide works!";
    }
    else{
    //nothing chosen
    }
}

This works fine for one item in the menu (Hide). However, if I want to add another item to the menu, how can I do so?

I can add the item using addAction, but not able to understand how to execute some action if it is clicked.

@BigBen Just add another action but remember the instances, call exec and check what it returns:

QMenu myMenu;
QAction hide("Hide");
QAction highlight("Highlight");
myMenu.addAction(&hide);
myMenu.addAction(&highlight);
QAction* selectedItem = myMenu.exec();
if (selectedItem == &hide)
{
       qInfo()<<"Hide works!";
} else if (selectedItem == &highlight) {
    qInfo()<<"Highlight works!";
}  else{
    //nothing chosen
}

When you go QMenu::addAction("SomeString") it creates a QAction for you, and returns it. And QMenu::exec() returns the QAction which was clicked. So you could check which one is returned and act on it, like:

QAction *hideAction = myMenu.addAction("Hide");
QAction *showAction = myMenu.addAction("Show");
QAction* selectedAction = myMenu.exec(globalPos);
if (selectedAction == hideAction)
    qInfo() << "Hide";
else if (selectedAction == showAction)
    qInfo() << "Show";

Alternatively, when you create the QActions you could attach a slot to its triggered signal:

connect(hideAction, &QAction::triggered, this, []() { qInfo() << "Hide"; } );
