Click clickMenu context menu on QPushButton

Question

For my application, I created a GUI in Qt Designer and converted it to python code (2.6).

In some of the QPushButton (created using the constructor), I want to add a right-click context menu. Menu options depend on the status of the application.

How to implement such a context menu?

Check if the example below will work for you. The main thing is to set the context menu policy for your widget in CustomContextMenu and connect to the customContextMenuRequested widget:

 import sys from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore class MainForm(QtGui.QMainWindow): def __init__(self, parent=None): super(MainForm, self).__init__(parent) # create button self.button = QtGui.QPushButton("test button", self) self.button.resize(100, 30) # set button context menu policy self.button.setContextMenuPolicy(QtCore.Qt.CustomContextMenu) self.button.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.on_context_menu) # create context menu self.popMenu = QtGui.QMenu(self) self.popMenu.addAction(QtGui.QAction('test0', self)) self.popMenu.addAction(QtGui.QAction('test1', self)) self.popMenu.addSeparator() self.popMenu.addAction(QtGui.QAction('test2', self)) def on_context_menu(self, point): # show context menu self.popMenu.exec_(self.button.mapToGlobal(point)) def main(): app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) form = MainForm() form.show() app.exec_() if __name__ == '__main__': main()
