Detailed Description

A KActionMenu is an action that holds a sub-menu of other actions. insert() and remove() allow to insert and remove actions into this action-menu. Plugged in a popupmenu, it will create a submenu. Plugged in a toolbar, it will create a button with a popup menu.

This is the action used by the XMLGUI since it holds other actions. If you want a submenu for selecting one tool among many (without icons), see KSelectAction. See also setDelayed about the main action.

Member Function Documentation

bool KActionMenu::delayed  
 

Returns true if this action creates a delayed popup menu when plugged in a KToolbar.

virtual int KActionMenu::plug QWidget *    widget,
int    index = -1
[virtual]
 

"Plug" or insert this action into a given widget.

This will typically be a menu or a toolbar. From this point on, you will never need to directly manipulate the item in the menu or toolbar. You do all enabling/disabling/manipulation directly with your KAction object.

Parameters:
w  The GUI element to display this action

Reimplemented from KAction.

void KActionMenu::setDelayed bool    _delayed
 

If set to true, this action will create a delayed popup menu when plugged in a KToolbar. Otherwise it creates a normal popup. Default: delayed

Remember that if the "main" action (the toolbar button itself) cannot be clicked, then you should call setDelayed(false).

On the opposite, if the main action can be clicked, it can only happen in a toolbar: in a menu, the parent of a submenu can't be activated. To get a "normal" menu item when plugged a menu (and no submenu) use KToolBarPopupAction.

void KActionMenu::setStickyMenu bool    sticky
 

If set to true, this action will create a sticky popup menu when plugged in a KToolbar. "Sticky", means it's visible until a selection is made or the mouse is clicked elsewhere. This feature allows you to make a selection without having to press and hold down the mouse while making a selection. Default: sticky.

bool KActionMenu::stickyMenu  
 

Returns true if this action creates a sticky popup menu. See setStickyMenu.
