menu item in the menu bar doesn't emit signal

rsswdev

Hi

I would like to have a menu item in the menu bar.
I can enable and disable it but no signal is emitted.

QMenu *menubarItemTest = new QMenu(this);
menubarItemTest->setTitle(tr("Test"));
QAction *actionItemTest = ui->menubar->addMenu(menubarItemTest);
addAction(actionItemTest);

connect(menubarItemTest, &QMenu::triggered, this, &MainWindow::menuItemTestTriggered);
connect(actionItemTest, &QAction::triggered, this, &MainWindow::actionItemTestTriggered);

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Widegts can be added to the MenuBar using the setCornerWidget() function.

So far I have found a solution for myself.

@rsswdev
Menu doesn't trigger action, only menu items do.

I can enable and disable it

What is "it"? The QMenu or the action you added to the QMenu? (I am assuming that you actually called menubarItemTest->addAction(actionItemTest)

but no signal is emitted.

What signal are you expecting when you enable or disable it?
