rightclick event in Qt to open a context menu
customContextMenuRequested
is emitted when the widget's contextMenuPolicy is Qt::CustomContextMenu
, and the user has requested a context menu on the widget. So in the constructor of your widget you can call setContextMenuPolicy
and connect customContextMenuRequested
to a slot to make a custom context menu.
In the constructor of plotspace
:
this->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
connect(this, SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested(const QPoint &)),
this, SLOT(ShowContextMenu(const QPoint &)));
ShowContextMenu
slot should be a class member of plotspace
like :
void plotspace::ShowContextMenu(const QPoint &pos)
{
QMenu contextMenu(tr("Context menu"), this);
QAction action1("Remove Data Point", this);
connect(&action1, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(removeDataPoint()));
contextMenu.addAction(&action1);
contextMenu.exec(mapToGlobal(pos));
}

I have a segment of code that calls a mousePressEvent. I have the left-click output the coordinates of the cursor, and I have rightclick do the same, but I also want to have the rightclick open a context menu. The code I have so far is:
void plotspace::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent*event) { double trange = _timeonright - _timeonleft; int twidth = width(); double tinterval = trange/twidth; int xclicked = event->x(); _xvaluecoordinate = _timeonleft+tinterval*xclicked; double fmax = Data.plane(X,0).max(); double fmin = Data.plane(X,0).min(); double fmargin = (fmax-fmin)/40; int fheight = height(); double finterval = ((fmax-fmin)+4*fmargin)/fheight; int yclicked = event->y(); _yvaluecoordinate = (fmax+fmargin)-finterval*yclicked; cout<<"Time(s): "<<_xvaluecoordinate<<endl; cout<<"Flux: "<<_yvaluecoordinate<<endl; cout << "timeonleft= " << _timeonleft << "\n"; returncoordinates(); emit updateCoordinates(); if (event->button()==Qt::RightButton) { contextmenu->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu); connect(contextmenu, SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested(const QPoint&)), this, SLOT(ShowContextMenu(const QPoint&))); void A::ShowContextMenu(const QPoint &pos) { QMenu *menu = new QMenu; menu->addAction(tr("Remove Data Point"), this, SLOT(test_slot())); menu->exec(w->mapToGlobal(pos)); } } }
I know that my problem is very fundamental in nature, and that 'contextmenu' is not properly declared. I have pieced together this code from many sources, and do not know how to declare something in c++. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
