[Qt-interest] How to hide an "easter egg" QMenu ?

[Christopher Probst]

Hello Edd,

I think you're trying to hide the object menuTest which is the pop-up 
dialog that appears when you click on the associated /menuAction/ in the 
menu bar. You in fact want to hide or show the associated menu action 
and this is something different. To do this, I would do something like 
this:

void MainWindow::on_easter_egg_activate()
{
     static bool easterEggActivated= false;

     if (!easterEggActivated)
     {
         ui->menuBar->removeAction(ui->menuTest->menuAction());
         easterEggActivated true;

     }
     else
     {
         ui->menuBar->addAction(ui->menuTest->menuAction());
         easterEggActivated= false;
     }

}


Thanks,
Christopher
