Need help with QMenu subclass

Hi all, I have a ‘nested’, a 2-tiered qmenus in which I have created a context menu for renaming and deleting. I created a subclass for the QMenus in hopes of making my code cleaner as I am unable to use eventFilter in my current code as it messes some functionalities…

For the renaming part, while it renames the first tiered, as soon as I tried to do the same for the second-tiered item, the prompt actually renames the first-tiered item.

The following is a code portion of the QMenu subclass that I did and if you do the following:

  • Right click and add in a new object called main
  • In main, create another object called sub
  • (This is an extra right-click) If you perform another right-mouse click on main and select rename options, and have it changed to ‘newMain’, this works
  • Perform the same action as detailed in point #3, but this time, rename on sub to newSub
  • If you open up the overall menu, noticed that newMain was changed to newSub, while sub remains unchanged.

Could someone kindly shed some light towards my QMenu subclass on where I have done it wrong? Appreciate in advance for any replies.
