QActionGroup is a base class for classes grouping classes inhheriting QAction objects together.
In some situations it is useful to group QAction objects together. For example, if you have a Left Align action, a Right Align action, a Justify action, and a Center action, only one of these actions should be active at any one time. One simple way of achieving this is to group the actions together in an action group, inheriting QActionGroup.
See also QAction.
This enum specifies the different policies that can be used to control how the group performs exclusive checking on checkable actions.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy::None |
0 |
The actions in the group can be checked independently of each other. |
QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy::Exclusive |
1 |
Exactly one action can be checked at any one time. This is the default policy. |
QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy::ExclusiveOptional |
2 |
At most one action can be checked at any one time. The actions can also be all unchecked. |
See also exclusionPolicy.
This property holds whether the action group is enabled
Each action in the group will be enabled or disabled unless it has been explicitly disabled.
Access functions:
| bool | isEnabled() const |
| void | setEnabled(bool) |
See also QAction::setEnabled().
This property holds the group exclusive checking policy
If exclusionPolicy is set to Exclusive, only one checkable action in the action group can ever be active at any time. If the user chooses another checkable action in the group, the one they chose becomes active and the one that was active becomes inactive. If exclusionPolicy is set to ExclusionOptional the group is exclusive but the active checkable action in the group can be unchecked leaving the group with no actions checked.
Access functions:
| QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy | exclusionPolicy() const |
| void | setExclusionPolicy(QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy policy) |
See also QAction::checkable.
This property holds whether the action group is visible
Each action in the action group will match the visible state of this group unless it has been explicitly hidden.
Access functions:
| bool | isVisible() const |
| void | setVisible(bool) |
See also QAction::setEnabled().
Constructs an action group for the parent object.
The action group is exclusive by default. Call setExclusive(false) to make the action group non-exclusive. To make the group exclusive but allow unchecking the active action call instead setExclusionPolicy(QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy::ExclusiveOptional)
[slot] void QActionGroup::setDisabled(bool b)This is a convenience function for the enabled property, that is useful for signals--slots connections. If b is true the action group is disabled; otherwise it is enabled.
[slot] void QActionGroup::setExclusive(bool b)Enable or disable the group exclusion checking
This is a convenience method that calls setExclusionPolicy(ExclusionPolicy::Exclusive) when b is true, else setExclusionPolicy(QActionGroup::ExclusionPolicy::None).
See also isExclusive() and QActionGroup::exclusionPolicy.
[virtual] QActionGroup::~QActionGroup()Destroys the action group.
Returns the list of this groups's actions. This may be empty.
Adds the action to this group, and returns it.
Normally an action is added to a group by creating it with the group as its parent, so this function is not usually used.
See also QAction::setActionGroup().
Creates and returns an action with text. The newly created action is a child of this action group.
Normally an action is added to a group by creating it with the group as parent, so this function is not usually used.
See also QAction::setActionGroup().
Creates and returns an action with text and an icon. The newly created action is a child of this action group.
Normally an action is added to a group by creating it with the group as its parent, so this function is not usually used.
See also QAction::setActionGroup().
Returns the currently checked action in the group, or nullptr if none are checked.
Returns true if the group is exclusive
The group is exclusive if the ExclusionPolicy is either Exclusive or ExclusionOptional.
Removes the action from this group. The action will have no parent as a result.
See also QAction::setActionGroup().
