Question
I am adding a context menu using QAction
for a widget.
Now, there is some white space beside the text of the action. I assume this is the space where the QIcon
association with the QAction
should have been there. Now how do I hide this space. I tried doing:
action->setIcon(QIcon());
but still does not seem to work.
Kindly let me know if you have the way to remove that space before the text.
Solution
I don't know if there is a way specific to the action or the menu, but you could probably remove it using a style.
OTHER TIPS
You don't say which platform. But on Mac you can turn off menu items altogether with:
qt_mac_set_menubar_icons( false );
You didn't mention the version of Qt you are using but version 4.4.3's QAction allows you to hide the icon:

You can also try using the QAction::QAction ( const QString & text, QObject * parent )
constructor:
