Notify QMainWindow toolbar about fullscreen mode switch

Question

In QWindow there is a signal windowStateChanged(Qt::WindowState).

I'm looking for similar signal in QMainWindow. Is it available?

I need it to notify toolbar about fullscreen change, as I have a checkable toolbar button which changes window to fullscreen when user clicks it. However when user changes to fullscreen bypassing the button, it shows invalid state.

QMainWindow inherits from QWidget where you find the ::setWindowState(Qt::WindowStates) method. In its docs, it says:

When the window state changes, the widget receives a changeEvent() of type QEvent::WindowStateChange.

So it seems like you have to override changeEvent() to handle this, I don't think there is a signal.
