List menu items in Qpushbutton

[likage]

Hi all, I would like to attach a 'menu' when user left-mouse click onto the QPushButton.
Not sure if there are any things that I am suppose to keep a lookout for when integrating/ using Maya and PyQt stuff...

While I tried my code as follows, it works:

cmds.window()
cams = cmds.ls(camera = 1, visible =1)
createdCams = cmds.listRelatives(geos, parent=1)
   
cmds.popupMenu(button=1)
for cam in createdCams:
 cmds.menuItem(cam)
 
cmds.showWindow()

However, as I tried to integrate it into this UI of mine, nothing (no menu list for me to choose from) seems to be happening when I click on the button 'Get current Cam', otherwise I may be getting an error -
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "<maya console>", line 32, in getCamera
# TypeError: Invalid flag 'camera'

from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *
import maya.cmds as cmds
import maya.mel as mel


class orientCameraUI(QDialog):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(orientCameraUI, self).__init__(parent)
        self.resize(300,225)
        self.initUI()
        self.createConnections()

    def initUI(self):
        self.setWindowTitle('OrientControl UI')
        self.getCurrentCamBtn = QPushButton('Get current CAM')
       
        self.orientToCamBtn = QPushButton('Orient To Cam View')
        #self.autoTrackBtn = QPushButton('Auto Track')
        self.currentCamTxt = QLineEdit()
       
        gridLayout = QGridLayout()
        gridLayout.addWidget(self.getCurrentCamBtn, 0, 1)
        gridLayout.addWidget(self.currentCamTxt, 0, 2)
        self.setLayout(gridLayout)
       
    def createConnections(self):
        self.connect(self.getCurrentCamBtn, SIGNAL('clicked()'), self.getCamera)
       
    def getCamera(self):
        cams = cmds.ls(camera = 1, visible =1)
        createdCams = cmds.listRelatives(geos, parent=1)
   
        cmds.popupMenu(button=1)
        for cam in createdCams:
            cmds.menuItem(cam)
       
       
def main():
    global app
    global form
    app = qApp
    form = orientCameraUI()
    form.show()
   

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()  

Any advices?

Specifically regarding that error, you have a typo in your call to cmds.ls() within your getCamera() method. You typed "camera = 1", but it should be "cameras = 1"

Also, you may want to consider either using Qt completely, or the native Maya UI, but not mixing them unless you have some specific reason to do so. You should be able to just create a QMenu.

Noticed the mistake on my part, my bad.

Correct me if I am wrong, will the following be the way of how I should add in the QMenu under the initUI function?

self.menu = QMenu()
self.menu.addAction('',self.test)
self.getCurrentCamBtn.setMenu(self.menu)
