QMenu item text disappears when icon added

Question

I am attempting to add an icon to my QMenu using Qt Designer, however I realized that my text disappears when my icon is added. Is there any way for me to show my icon next to my text?

Answer 1

It was not supported in Qt 4, maybe it is in Qt5 I haven't checked. In Designer itself there isn't much you can do. In the code one option is to customize the style to draw both the icon and text: - sizeFromContents for QStyle::CT_MenuBarItem - drawControl for QStyle::CE_MenuBarItem - drawCustomControl for QStyleOptionMenuItem
