releasing a popup menu through code

Hi All,

I have a menu item which is a combobox.
I would like that when an item is selected in the combobox, the menu will close, just as if a normal item on it was selected.
But I can't find how to "fake" this "selected" event for the menu, so I need to click out side the menu to make it close again, after selecting an item in my combobox.

Thanks in advabce

Dani.

Maybe call hide() for the menu object?

Thanks - I am indeed using this - this was not my problem.
It was about hiding the menu after an item was selcted in the combobox (which is an item in the menu).
Thanks all the same.

Futhermore, if the embedded widget closes the menu when the user made a selection, this can be done safely by calling:
Source code
1
2
3
4
        if ( isVisible() &&
             parentWidget() &&
             parentWidget()->inherits("QPopupMenu") )
             parentWidget()->close();
