[FIXED] Right click menu code will not run

Issue

I'm trying to create a menu that appears when I click the right mouse button, I've followed some tutorials, but when I put them in my code, and change them, they won't work.

This is my code:

def First(self):
    FirstFrame = QtGui.QFrame()
    FirstFrame.setFixedSize(230,660)
# LIST VIEW FOLDER
    self.folders_lv = QtGui.QTreeView()
    self.folders_lv.

# DEFINE THE FUNCTION FOR FIRST FRAME
    Firstbox = QtGui.QGridLayout()
    Firstbox.addWidget(self.folders_lv,3,0,1,4)
    Firstbox.setColumnStretch(1, 1)
    FirstFrame.setLayout(Firstbox)

    self.folders_lv.setContextMenuPolicy(QtCore.Qt.CustomContextMenu)
    self.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.showMenu())

    return FirstFrame


def showMenu(self, pos):
    menu= QtGui.QMenu(self)
    menu.addAction(QtGui.QAction("Item 1", menu))
    menu.addAction(QtGui.QAction("Item 2", menu))
    menu.addAction(QtGui.QAction("Item 3", menu))
    menu.popup(self.mapToGlobal(pos))

Solution

You need to pass the function object when connecting the signal, so get rid of the parentheses:

   self.folders_lv.customContextMenuRequested.connect(self.showMenu)

Also, in the showMenu slot, you probably want:

   menu.popup(self.folders_lv.viewport().mapToGlobal(pos))
