how to add context menu to the table widget header?

[aurora]

Hi i added context menu to a table widget...
But it is not displaying for table header...what changes i need to do?


my context menu function is:

void MainWindow::ProvideContextMenu(const QPoint &point)
{
    QTableWidgetItem *item=filesTable->itemAt(point);
 
 
 
     QPoint globalpos=filesTable->mapToGlobal(point);
       QString cell=item->text();
       cout<<"EVENT GENERATED..."<<cell.toStdString()<<endl;
 
       QAction *pAddAction= new QAction("add",filesTable);
       QAction *pSplitAction= new QAction("SPLIT",filesTable);
       QMenu *pContextMenu = new QMenu( this);
       pContextMenu->addAction(pAddAction);
       pContextMenu->addAction(pSplitAction);
       pContextMenu->exec(globalpos);
 
   }

void MainWindow::ProvideContextMenu(const QPoint &point)
{
    QTableWidgetItem *item=filesTable->itemAt(point);
    
    
    
     QPoint globalpos=filesTable->mapToGlobal(point);
       QString cell=item->text();
       cout<<"EVENT GENERATED..."<<cell.toStdString()<<endl;
   
       QAction *pAddAction= new QAction("add",filesTable);
       QAction *pSplitAction= new QAction("SPLIT",filesTable);
       QMenu *pContextMenu = new QMenu( this);
       pContextMenu->addAction(pAddAction);
       pContextMenu->addAction(pSplitAction);
       pContextMenu->exec(globalpos);
   
   }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

what changes i need to do?

Since you code does not show us how you are summoning this menu it is hard to say.

You need to stop cross-posting the same problem... it only serves to spread effort. Information that is present in the other thread is not automagically available here.

Hi,
I am success to create contextmenu in QTableView. I think this is same with QTableWidget. You can use this

QHeaderView * QTableView::horizontalHeader () const

QHeaderView * QTableView::horizontalHeader () const

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This is a sample code :

QTableView *tblv;
QHeaderView *horizontalHeader;
 
//connect horizontal header QTableView with contextmenu
horizontalHeader = tblv->horizontalHeader();
horizontalHeader->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);     //set contextmenu
connect(horizontalHeader, SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested( const QPoint& )),
this, SLOT(tablev_customContextMenu( const QPoint& )));

QTableView *tblv;
QHeaderView *horizontalHeader;

//connect horizontal header QTableView with contextmenu
horizontalHeader = tblv->horizontalHeader();
horizontalHeader->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);     //set contextmenu
connect(horizontalHeader, SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested( const QPoint& )),
this, SLOT(tablev_customContextMenu( const QPoint& )));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You can modified this with your problem. This site have a sample how to create contextmenu in QTableView. I think you can use that.
