|
|
|
|
|
|
The QComboBox widget is a combined button and popup list.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> A combobox is a selection widget which displays the current item
|
|
and can pop up a list of items. A combobox may be editable in
|
|
which case the user can enter arbitrary strings.
|
|
<p> Comboboxes provide a means of showing the user's current choice
|
|
out of a list of options in a way that takes up the minimum amount
|
|
of screen space.
|
|
<p> QComboBox supports three different display styles: Aqua/Motif 1.x,
|
|
<a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> 2.0 and Windows. In Motif 1.x, a combobox was called
|
|
XmOptionMenu. In Motif 2.0, OSF introduced an improved combobox
|
|
and named that XmComboBox. QComboBox provides both.
|
|
<p> QComboBox provides two different constructors. The simplest
|
|
constructor creates an "old-style" combobox in Motif (or Aqua)
|
|
style:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
QComboBox *c = new QComboBox( this, "read-only combobox" );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> The other constructor creates a new-style combobox in Motif style,
|
|
and can create both read-only and editable comboboxes:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
QComboBox *c1 = new QComboBox( FALSE, this, "read-only combobox" );
|
|
QComboBox *c2 = new QComboBox( TRUE, this, "editable combobox" );
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> New-style comboboxes use a list box in both Motif and Windows
|
|
styles, and both the content size and the on-screen size of the
|
|
list box can be limited with <a href="#sizeLimit">sizeLimit</a>() and <a href="#setMaxCount">setMaxCount</a>()
|
|
respectively. Old-style comboboxes use a popup in Aqua and Motif
|
|
style, and that popup will happily grow larger than the desktop if
|
|
you put enough data into it.
|
|
<p> The two constructors create identical-looking comboboxes in
|
|
Windows style.
|
|
<p> Comboboxes can contain pixmaps as well as strings; the
|
|
<a href="#insertItem">insertItem</a>() and <a href="#changeItem">changeItem</a>() functions are suitably overloaded.
|
|
For editable comboboxes, the function <a href="#clearEdit">clearEdit</a>() is provided,
|
|
to clear the displayed string without changing the combobox's
|
|
contents.
|
|
<p> A combobox emits two signals, <a href="#activated">activated</a>() and <a href="#highlighted">highlighted</a>(), when
|
|
a new item has been activated (selected) or highlighted (made
|
|
current). Both signals exist in two versions, one with a <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> argument and one with an <tt>int</tt> argument. If the user
|
|
highlights or activates a pixmap, only the <tt>int</tt> signals are
|
|
emitted. Whenever the text of an editable combobox is changed the
|
|
<a href="#textChanged">textChanged</a>() signal is emitted.
|
|
<p> When the user enters a new string in an editable combobox, the
|
|
widget may or may not insert it, and it can insert it in several
|
|
locations. The default policy is is <a href="#Policy-enum">AtBottom</a> but you can change
|
|
this using <a href="#setInsertionPolicy">setInsertionPolicy</a>().
|
|
<p> It is possible to constrain the input to an editable combobox
|
|
using <a href="qvalidator.html">QValidator</a>; see <a href="#setValidator">setValidator</a>(). By default, any input is
|
|
accepted.
|
|
<p> If the combobox is not editable then it has a default
|
|
<a href="qwidget.html#focusPolicy">focusPolicy</a>() of <a href="qwidget.html#FocusPolicy-enum">TabFocus</a>, i.e. it will not grab focus if
|
|
clicked. This differs from both Windows and Motif. If the combobox
|
|
is editable then it has a default focusPolicy() of <a href="qwidget.html#FocusPolicy-enum">StrongFocus</a>,
|
|
i.e. it will grab focus if clicked.
|
|
<p> A combobox can be populated using the insert functions,
|
|
<a href="#insertStringList">insertStringList</a>() and <a href="#insertItem">insertItem</a>() for example. Items can be
|
|
changed with <a href="#changeItem">changeItem</a>(). An item can be removed with
|
|
<a href="#removeItem">removeItem</a>() and all items can be removed with <a href="#clear">clear</a>(). The text
|
|
of the current item is returned by <a href="#currentText">currentText</a>(), and the text of
|
|
a numbered item is returned with <a href="#text">text</a>(). The current item can be
|
|
set with <a href="#setCurrentItem">setCurrentItem</a>() or <a href="#setCurrentText">setCurrentText</a>(). The number of items
|
|
in the combobox is returned by <a href="#count">count</a>(); the maximum number of
|
|
items can be set with <a href="#setMaxCount">setMaxCount</a>(). You can allow editing using
|
|
<a href="#setEditable">setEditable</a>(). For editable comboboxes you can set auto-completion
|
|
using <a href="#setAutoCompletion">setAutoCompletion</a>() and whether or not the user can add
|
|
duplicates is set with <a href="#setDuplicatesEnabled">setDuplicatesEnabled</a>().

|
|
<p> Depending on the style, QComboBox will use a <a href="qlistbox.html">QListBox</a> or a
|
|
<a href="qpopupmenu.html">QPopupMenu</a> to display the list of items. See <a href="#setListBox">setListBox</a>() for
|

more information.

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="Policy-enum"></a>QComboBox::Policy</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This enum specifies what the QComboBox should do when a new string
|
|
is entered by the user.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>QComboBox::NoInsertion</tt> - the string will not be inserted into the
|
|
combobox.
|
|
<li><tt>QComboBox::AtTop</tt> - insert the string as the first item in the combobox.
|
|
<li><tt>QComboBox::AtCurrent</tt> - replace the previously selected item with the
|
|
string the user has entered.
|
|
<li><tt>QComboBox::AtBottom</tt> - insert the string as the last item in the
|
|
combobox.
|
|
<li><tt>QComboBox::AfterCurrent</tt> - insert the string after the previously
|
|
selected item.
|
|
<li><tt>QComboBox::BeforeCurrent</tt> - insert the string before the previously
|
|
selected item.
|
|
</ul><p> <a href="#activated">activated</a>() is always emitted when the string is entered.
|
|
<p> If inserting the new string would cause the combobox to breach its
|
|
content size limit, the item at the other end of the list is
|
|
deleted. The definition of "other end" is
|
|
implementation-dependent.

|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="QComboBox"></a>QComboBox::QComboBox ( <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs a combobox widget with parent <em>parent</em> called <em>name</em>.
|
|
<p> This constructor creates a popup list if the program uses <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a>
|
|
(or Aqua) look and feel; this is compatible with Motif 1.x and
|
|
Aqua.
|
|
<p> Note: If you use this constructor to create your QComboBox, then
|
|
the <a href="#pixmap">pixmap</a>() function will always return 0. To workaround this,
|
|
use the other constructor.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="QComboBox-2"></a>QComboBox::QComboBox ( bool rw, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> * parent = 0, const char * name = 0 )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs a combobox with a maximum size and either <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> 2.0 or
|
|
Windows look and feel.
|
|
<p> The input field can be edited if <em>rw</em> is TRUE, otherwise the user
|
|
may only choose one of the items in the combobox.
|
|
<p> The <em>parent</em> and <em>name</em> arguments are passed on to the <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>
|
|
constructor.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="~QComboBox"></a>QComboBox::~QComboBox ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Destroys the combobox.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="activated"></a>QComboBox::activated ( int index )<tt> [signal]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This signal is emitted when a new item has been activated
|
|
(selected). The <em>index</em> is the position of the item in the
|
|
combobox.
|
|
<p> This signal is not emitted if the item is changed
|
|
programmatically, e.g. using <a href="#setCurrentItem">setCurrentItem</a>().
|
|
|
|
<p>Examples: <a href="fileiconview-example.html#x877">fileiconview/mainwindow.cpp</a>, <a href="helpviewer-example.html#x981">helpviewer/helpwindow.cpp</a>, <a href="lineedits-example.html#x170">lineedits/lineedits.cpp</a>, <a href="listboxcombo-example.html#x1398">listboxcombo/listboxcombo.cpp</a>, and <a href="qmag-example.html#x1772">qmag/qmag.cpp</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="activated-2"></a>QComboBox::activated ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & string )<tt> [signal]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> This signal is emitted when a new item has been activated
|
|
(selected). <em>string</em> is the selected string.
|
|
<p> You can also use the <a href="#activated">activated</a>(int) signal, but be aware that its
|
|
argument is meaningful only for selected strings, not for user
|
|
entered strings.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoCompletion"></a>QComboBox::autoCompletion () const
|
|
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if auto-completion is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
See the <a href="qcombobox.html#autoCompletion-prop">"autoCompletion"</a> property for details.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="autoResize"></a>QComboBox::autoResize () const
|
|
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if auto resize is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE.
|
|
See the <a href="qcombobox.html#autoResize-prop">"autoResize"</a> property for details.
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="changeItem"></a>QComboBox::changeItem ( const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & t, int index )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Replaces the item at position <em>index</em> with the text <em>t</em>.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="changeItem-2"></a>QComboBox::changeItem ( const <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> & im, int index )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Replaces the item at position <em>index</em> with the pixmap <em>im</em>,
|
|
unless the combobox is editable.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#insertItem">insertItem</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="changeItem-3"></a>QComboBox::changeItem ( const <a href="qpixmap.html">QPixmap</a> & im, const <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> & t, int index )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Replaces the item at position <em>index</em> with the pixmap <em>im</em> and
|
|
the text <em>t</em>.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="#insertItem">insertItem</a>().
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>QComboBox::clear ()<tt> [slot]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Removes all combobox items.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clearEdit"></a>QComboBox::clearEdit ()<tt> [slot]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Clears the line edit without changing the combobox's contents.
|
|
Does nothing if the combobox isn't editable.
|
|
<p> This is particularly useful when using a combobox as a line edit
|
|
with history. For example you can connect the combobox's
|
|
<a href="#activated">activated</a>() signal to <a href="#clearEdit">clearEdit</a>() in order to present the user
|
|
with a new, empty line as soon as Enter is pressed.
|
