[Qgis-user] Looking for QGIS Python code for a three-level menu?

[Raymond Nijssen]

Hi Mike,

I'm afraid you cannot add submenus to the plugin menu.


The addPluginToMenu function only takes actions as an argument:


action_1 = QAction('Action 1')
iface.addPluginToMenu('Plugin 1', action_1)

menu_1 = QMenu('Menu 1')
iface.addPluginToMenu('Plugin 1', menu_1)




The last line causes this error:

TypeError: QgisInterface.addPluginToMenu(): argument 2 has unexpected 
type 'QMenu'




Also see the docs:

https://qgis.org/pyqgis/master/gui/QgisInterface.html#qgis.gui.QgisInterface.addPluginToMenu



There might be a tricky way to get the QMenu of the main QGIS window and 
somehow add things in a Qt way.


Kind regards,
Raymond
