How to convert QAction inside a QMenu to QWidget?

Question

I want to set icon of QAction using qss file. I cannot set stylesheet to QAction so I want to convert it to a QWidget so that I can add icon to individual actions of QMenu using stylesheet. I know how to do that in code by I want to add Icon of QActions using qss.

QMenu* menu = new QMenu();
QAction* newFile = new QAction;
newFile->setText("New File");
menu->addAction(newFile);

I want to set icon to QAction in qss.

Answer 1

QMenu *menu;
menu =new QMenu();

QToolButton *button=new QToolButton(menu);
button->setFixedSize(50,50);
QWidgetAction *action=new QWidgetAction(this);
action->setDefaultWidget(button);
menu->addAction(action);

Use QToolButton instead of QAction and you can set the icon using setStyleSheet() or setIcon()
