[Qt-interest] QMetaObject::invokeMethod()

[Shabd Swarup V]

Hi,
 
I am trying to invoke the "triggered" signal of a QAction using the
QMetaObject::invokeMethod() call. The code snippet is given below:
 
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(targetObject, "triggered",
Qt::QueuedConnection);
 
In case of a QueuedConnection, ideally, the signal should be queued
until the event loop is able to deliver it to the slot but I get the
return even before the action has executed.
 
For example, there is a QAction "Open" under a MenuBar. When it is
clicked through the QMetaObject, I get a response immediately and then
the QFileDialog opens.
In case of all other widgets, this method seems to behave well.
 
I hope the problem is clear. Any ideas on how I can achieve what I am
trying. I basically need to find out when the action is finished
executing.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards,
Shabd
