Qt Creator 插件开发(4)：添加菜单项(续)

响应菜单项

现在，我们已经将我们的 DoNothing 插件作为一个菜单项加入到 Qt Creator 中。既然菜单项就是一个QAction，我们当然可以通过连接triggered(bool)或者toggled(bool)信号，响应 trigger、toggled 事件。下面的代码显示了如何去做：

class DoNothingPlugin : public ExtensionSystem::IPlugin
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    ...

private slots:
    void about();
};

bool DoNothingPlugin::initialize(const QStringList& args, QString *errMsg)
{
    Q_UNUSED(args);
    Q_UNUSED(errMsg);
    ......
    Core::Command* cmd = am->registerAction(
        new QAction(this),
        "DoNothingPlugin.AboutDoNothing",
        Core::Context(Core::Constants::C_GLOBAL));
    ......
    connect(cmd->action(), SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(about()));
    ......
    return true;
}

void DoNothingPlugin::about()
{
    QMessageBox::information(
            0,
            "About DoNothing Plugin",
    	    "Seriously dude, this plugin does nothing"
        );
}

我们重新编译下插件，然后运行 Qt Creator，点击一下 DoNothing 菜单项，就会弹出一个对话框：

如果你想使用 Qt Creator 主窗口作为 parent，那么只要按照下面的代码进行修改：

void DoNothingPlugin::about()
{
    QMessageBox::information(
    	    Core::ICore::instance()->mainWindow(),
    	    "About DoNothing Plugin",
    	    "Seriously dude, this plugin does nothing"
        );
}

添加菜单

前面我们介绍了如何添加菜单项，下面我们将介绍如何向 Qt Creator 添加菜单。添加菜单，我们不能使用Core::Command，而是应该使用Core::ActionContainer，将其添加到MENU_BAR上面。下面的代码显示了如何进行这一操作：

bool DoNothingPlugin::initialize(const QStringList& args, QString *errMsg)
{
    Q_UNUSED(args);
    Q_UNUSED(errMsg);

    Core::ActionManager* am = Core::ICore::instance()->actionManager();

    // Create a DoNothing menu
    Core::ActionContainer* ac = am->createMenu("DoNothingPlugin.DoNothingMenu");
    ac->menu()->setTitle("DoNothing");
    // Create a command for "About DoNothing".
    Core::Command* cmd = am->registerAction(
        new QAction(this),
        "DoNothingPlugin.AboutDoNothing",
        Core::Context(Core::Constants::C_GLOBAL));
    cmd->action()->setText("About DoNothing");
    connect(cmd->action(), SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(about()));
    // Add DoNothing menu to the menubar
    am->actionContainer(Core::Constants::MENU_BAR)->addMenu(ac);
    // Add the "About DoNothing" action to the DoNothing menu
    ac->addAction(cmd);

    return true;
}

下面我们来看一下运行结果

修改菜单或菜单项的位置

现在，我们已经了解如何向 Qt Creator 添加菜单项，如何向 Qt Creator 添加菜单。只不过还有一个问题：我们添加的菜单或者菜单项都是在第一个位置。如果修改新增菜单或菜单项的位置呢？下面来看看这一段代码，我们要将“DoNothing”菜单放到“Help”前面：

bool DoNothingPlugin::initialize(const QStringList& args, QString *errMsg)
{
    Q_UNUSED(args);
    Q_UNUSED(errMsg);

    Core::ActionManager* am = Core::ICore::instance()->actionManager();

    // Create a DoNothing menu
    Core::ActionContainer* ac = am->createMenu("DoNothingPlugin.DoNothingMenu");
    ac->menu()->setTitle("DoNothing");
    // Create a command for "About DoNothing".
    Core::Command* cmd = am->registerAction(
        new QAction(this),
        "DoNothingPlugin.AboutDoNothing",
        Core::Context(Core::Constants::C_GLOBAL));
    cmd->action()->setText("About DoNothing");
    connect(cmd->action(), SIGNAL(triggered(bool)), this, SLOT(about()));
    // Insert the "DoNothing" menu between "Window" and "Help".
    QMenu* helpMenu = am->actionContainer(Core::Constants::M_HELP)->menu();
    QMenuBar* menuBar = am->actionContainer(Core::Constants::MENU_BAR)->menuBar();
    menuBar->insertMenu(helpMenu->menuAction(), ac->menu());
    // Add the "About DoNothing" action to the DoNothing menu
    ac->addAction(cmd);

    return true;
}

重新编译之后运行一下：

现在，DoNothing 菜单已经在 Help 前面，而不是在菜单栏的第一位了。同样，我们可以用类似的方法将菜单项插入到任意的位置。代码是类似的，这里不再赘述。
