[Qt-interest] System tray context menu

[Tony Thompson]

Does anyone understand how a context menu is supposed to behave on a
system tray icon with Windows?  I have tried building my menu different
ways (maybe not the right way) and searching the list archives and still
have no idea what the issue could be here.  Is this a bug?

Subject: [Qt-interest] System tray context menu


I have an application that is using a system tray icon with a context
menu.  On Windows, when I right click the system tray icon, I have a
menu organized like this:
 
Menu 1
Menu 2
  + Menu 1a
       + Action 1a1
  + Menu 1b
  + Menu ...
  + Action 1a
Separator
Action 1
Action 2
 
If I mouse over "Menu 2", the menu under it automatically pops open.
>From Menu 2, if I mouse over "Menu 1a", nothing.  But, if I right click
Menu 1a, the next menu level pops open and I can see "Action 1a1".  On
the Mac, my code works as I would expect (I can just mouse over the next
menu level and it opens).  Why is it different on Windows and how might
I fix it?
 
A little more info...Menu 2 is my own class derived from QMenu.  Menu 1a
is just a QMenu (menu1a = new QMenu( <ptr_to_Menu2> );).
 
Thanks for any help.
Tony
