I faced the same problem... :( > It's a allegedly basic task: How can I access a submenu (or better: a > submenu's QAction) for a menu defined in a ...ui.rc file? > > If I define the submenu like so: > > <MenuBar> > <Menu name="foo" > > <Menu name="bar"> > <text>Some text</text> > <Action name="someAction"/> > </Menu> > </Menu> > </MenuBar> I probably don’t understand properly what you need. But if you want to modify the action which contains the menu "bar", you could use KActionMenu. Change the ui.rc to: <MenuBar> <Menu name="foo" > <Action name="bar"/> </Menu> </MenuBar> then create a KActionMenu called "bar" in your KActionCollection, set its icon etc., and populate its menu. Of course this moves UI definition from ui.rc to C++ code, but it looks like you want to modify the menu at runtime.
