How to replace "Exit" with "Back" in Menu

**rahul.kulshreshtha** · 2010-09-28, 08:02

I have one MainWindow and 3 Widgets. I am putting all widgets inside QStackWidget.
I am also have a menu.

Menu on every widget shows "Options" left side and "Exit" right side. I want in few widgets it should be "Back" at right side instead of exit. So that user can go on last screen. How can I do that? I tried following but no success

Code:

    QAction* back = new QAction(tr("Back"), this);
    back->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::NegativeSoftKey);
    connect(back, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(gotoLastScreen()));

try calling addAction(back). the whole code could be found from wiki as well: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...Qt_for_Symbian

If I use addAction then it comes "left side" inside options menu but I want right side in place of "Exit". "Exit" is still there.
I tried with

Code:

QAction* back = new QAction(tr("Back"), this);
    back->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::NegativeSoftKey);
    menuBar()->addAction(back);
    connect(back, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(gotoLastScreen()));

QAction* back = new QAction(tr("Back"), this);
back->setSoftKeyRole(QAction::NegativeSoftKey);
addAction(back);
connect(back, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(gotoLastScreen()));

do not use the menu bar, just use the addAction defined for QMainWindow.. It at least worked for me just fine.
