Menu usage
Message 1 in thread
Ok, this should be a RTFM, but manual and google searching have so far
failed to turn up the answer. So if someone can point me to the proper
documentation or something, it would be appreciated.
I am developing an application in Qt 4.3.3 on Mac OS X 10.5. I have
created in my code a global (no parent) menu bar with a number of
menus and actions. I am trying to figure out how to associate some
code with those actions. What object will receive the signals - I
would assume the active window, is this correct? What are the signals
named? When I make a menu bar in the designer, I can connect slots to
the menu signals with functions such as on_menu_command_triggered(),
but trying this with my programatically generated menus/actions
doesn't seem to work- am I just getting the signal names wrong?
Incidentally, what will happen to the global menu if I try compiling
on Windows- will it show up in all windows like it does on mac? Ok, I
could try it and find out, but I'm not quite to that point yet :) As
always, thanks for any assistance that you are willing to offer!

Yep, I was right about the RTFM :-P. I just had to connect the action
as I created it, to whatever object I want. Not sure how I missed
that. Sorry for wasting your time and bandwidth.
