I am trying to get a right click context menu working in a UI

        self.treeView = QTreeView()
        self.treeView.setContextMenuPolicy(Qt.CustomContextMenu)
        self.treeView.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.openMenu)

self.openMenu is a small menu that should open when right clicked on a tree item, but nothing is executed.

any suggestions where to start looking

Hi Todd,

Is self.openMenu being triggered? Have you added debug prints to confirm? The above looks correct so I guessing it's something in the connected slot method, often the menu may be off screen or the actions not added correctly.
