get Text from Popupmenu action

[raphaelf]

Hi everyboby!

I have a Q3PopupMenu for my ListView created.The idea from this Popupmenu is that the user can select a song and
add to a playlist(submenu)
I have a Menu and a Submenu. I generate actions with values from my Database (see code).
For example: playlist1, playlist2, playlist3(actions).
So my actions will everytime generated when the user start my popupmenu. I have a dynamic submenu with dynamic actions.
All my actions call the same function "addToPlaylist()".Thats ok.
Now i must get the selected action text from the submenu.
With QAction->text() i can read the action text. But how could i get the selected text of my popupmenu?Because my action names is everytime the same.
I need this text to be able to insert value on a database.


Have somebody a idea?

Q3PopupMenu* contextMenu = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
	Q3PopupMenu* contextMenu2 = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
 
    if( Item ) 
    contextMenu->popup( point );
 
    Q_CHECK_PTR( contextMenu );
 
 
 
if((ui.playlistname_cb->currentText() == "") && (ui.listView->childCount() > 0))
    {
	    QSqlQuery select_playlistname("select playlistname from playlistname_tbl");
		while(select_playlistname.next())
			{
				QString playlistname = select_playlistname.value(0).toString();
				contextMenu2->setTitle("add to Playlist");
 
				QAction *action = new QAction(playlistname, this);
				connect(action,SIGNAL(activated()),this,SLOT(addToPlaylist())); 
				contextMenu2->addAction(action );
	    		contextMenu->addMenu(contextMenu2);
	    		QMessageBox::information(this, 
		("Info"),action->text());
			}
	    contextMenu->exec( QCursor::pos() );
 
	    return;
	}

Q3PopupMenu* contextMenu = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
	Q3PopupMenu* contextMenu2 = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
    
    if( Item ) 
    contextMenu->popup( point );
   
    Q_CHECK_PTR( contextMenu );



if((ui.playlistname_cb->currentText() == "") && (ui.listView->childCount() > 0))
    {
	    QSqlQuery select_playlistname("select playlistname from playlistname_tbl");
		while(select_playlistname.next())
			{
				QString playlistname = select_playlistname.value(0).toString();
				contextMenu2->setTitle("add to Playlist");

				QAction *action = new QAction(playlistname, this);
				connect(action,SIGNAL(activated()),this,SLOT(addToPlaylist())); 
				contextMenu2->addAction(action );
	    		contextMenu->addMenu(contextMenu2);
	    		QMessageBox::information(this, 
		("Info"),action->text());
			}
	    contextMenu->exec( QCursor::pos() );
	    
	    return;
	}

use

connect(contectMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *)))

In the slot you can get the text

Like this:

void YourClass::actionTriggered(QAction *a)
{
      QString str = a->text()
}

void YourClass::actionTriggered(QAction *a)
{
      QString str = a->text()
}

Hi munna,

If can not get my selected text from the submenu.

Can you see the problem?

connect(ui.listView, SIGNAL( contextMenuRequested( Q3ListViewItem *, const QPoint& , int ) ),
            this, SLOT( PlaylistMenu( Q3ListViewItem *, const QPoint &, int ) ) );
 
	contextMenu = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
	contextMenu2 = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
	connect(contextMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *a)));
 
void MainWindow::PlaylistMenu( Q3ListViewItem* Item, const QPoint & point, int )
{
 
	if( Item ) 
    contextMenu->popup( point );
    Q_CHECK_PTR( contextMenu );
 
 
	contextMenu2->clear();
	contextMenu->clear();
 
 
	if((ui.playlistname_cb->currentText() == "") && (ui.listView->childCount() > 0))
    {
	    contextMenu2->setTitle("add to Playlist");
	    QSqlQuery select_playlistname("select playlistname from playlistname_tbl");
		while(select_playlistname.next())
			{
				QString playlistname = select_playlistname.value(0).toString();
				contextMenu2->addAction(playlistname, this, SLOT(addToPlaylist()));
	    		contextMenu->addMenu(contextMenu2);
			}
	    contextMenu->exec( QCursor::pos() );
	    //delete contextMenu;
	    //delete contextMenu2;
	    return;
	}
 
}
 
void MainWindow::addToPlaylist()
{
	QMessageBox::information(this, "", "addToPlaylist");
 
 
}
void MainWindow::actionTriggered(QAction *a)
{      
	QString str = a->text();
	QMessageBox::information(this, "", str);
}

connect(ui.listView, SIGNAL( contextMenuRequested( Q3ListViewItem *, const QPoint& , int ) ),
            this, SLOT( PlaylistMenu( Q3ListViewItem *, const QPoint &, int ) ) );
            
	contextMenu = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
	contextMenu2 = new Q3PopupMenu( this);
	connect(contextMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *a)));

void MainWindow::PlaylistMenu( Q3ListViewItem* Item, const QPoint & point, int )
{

	if( Item ) 
    contextMenu->popup( point );
    Q_CHECK_PTR( contextMenu );
    
	
	contextMenu2->clear();
	contextMenu->clear();
   
   
	if((ui.playlistname_cb->currentText() == "") && (ui.listView->childCount() > 0))
    {
	    contextMenu2->setTitle("add to Playlist");
	    QSqlQuery select_playlistname("select playlistname from playlistname_tbl");
		while(select_playlistname.next())
			{
				QString playlistname = select_playlistname.value(0).toString();
				contextMenu2->addAction(playlistname, this, SLOT(addToPlaylist()));
	    		contextMenu->addMenu(contextMenu2);
			}
	    contextMenu->exec( QCursor::pos() );
	    //delete contextMenu;
	    //delete contextMenu2;
	    return;
	}

}

void MainWindow::addToPlaylist()
{
	QMessageBox::information(this, "", "addToPlaylist");
	
	
}
void MainWindow::actionTriggered(QAction *a)
{      
	QString str = a->text();
	QMessageBox::information(this, "", str);
}

connect(contextMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *a)));

connect(contextMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *a)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

should be

connect(contextMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *)));

connect(contextMenu2,SIGNAL(triggered(QAction *)),this,SLOT(actionTriggered(QAction *)));

Thanks.

Could you explain why just * and not *a

Thank you!!!
