menuBar not working right

[21altf]

I'm tryin to add shortcuts to the QMenu and QActions, but i'm having a little trouble.

I tryed the http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/mainwindows-menus.html, but somehow it doesnt work the same way and I'm confused.

I made the QAction KeyShortcut work, but it isnt underlining the letter that I tell the program too. I tryed several diferente ways to make that happen but it just doesnt.

Problems:
- Cant add shortcut to menubar (as an example for the File)
- Cant make the menuBar or QActions underline the letter of its shortchut
- I tryed the tr("&File") and ("&File"), it wont go eitherway...

Anyideas?

Heres the .cpp code for analisys

What OS do you use? AFAIK the underlining does not work on all systems...

The letter is only underlined when you press 'Alt' on the keyboard.
