Detailed Description

A QComboBox provides a means of presenting a list of options to the user in a way that takes up the minimum amount of screen space.

A combobox is a selection widget that displays the current item, and can pop up a list of selectable items. A combobox may be editable, allowing the user to modify each item in the list.

Comboboxes can contain pixmaps as well as strings; the insertItem() and setItemText() functions are suitably overloaded. For editable comboboxes, the function clearEditText() is provided, to clear the displayed string without changing the combobox's contents.

There are three signals emitted if the current item of a combobox changes, currentIndexChanged(), currentTextChanged() and activated(). currentIndexChanged() and currentTextChanged() are always emitted regardless if the change was done programmatically or by user interaction, while activated() is only emitted when the change is caused by user interaction. The highlighted() signal is emitted when the user highlights an item in the combobox popup list. All three signals exist in two versions, one with a QString argument and one with an int argument. If the user selects or highlights a pixmap, only the int signals are emitted. Whenever the text of an editable combobox is changed the editTextChanged() signal is emitted.

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 InsertAtBottom but you can change this using setInsertPolicy().

It is possible to constrain the input to an editable combobox using QValidator; see setValidator(). By default, any input is accepted.

A combobox can be populated using the insert functions, insertItem() and insertItems() for example. Items can be changed with setItemText(). An item can be removed with removeItem() and all items can be removed with clear(). The text of the current item is returned by currentText(), and the text of a numbered item is returned with text(). The current item can be set with setCurrentIndex(). The number of items in the combobox is returned by count(); the maximum number of items can be set with setMaxCount(). You can allow editing using setEditable(). For editable comboboxes you can set auto-completion using setCompleter() and whether or not the user can add duplicates is set with setDuplicatesEnabled().

QComboBox uses the model/view framework for its popup list and to store its items. By default a QStandardItemModel stores the items and a QListView subclass displays the popuplist. You can access the model and view directly (with model() and view()), but QComboBox also provides functions to set and get item data (e.g., setItemData() and itemText()). You can also set a new model and view (with setModel() and setView()). For the text and icon in the combobox label, the data in the model that has the Qt::DisplayRole and Qt::DecorationRole is used. Note that you cannot alter the SelectionMode of the view(), e.g., by using setSelectionMode().

Member Type Documentation

enum QComboBox::InsertPolicy

This enum specifies what the QComboBox should do when a new string is entered by the user.

ConstantValueDescription
QComboBox::NoInsert0The string will not be inserted into the combobox.
QComboBox::InsertAtTop1The string will be inserted as the first item in the combobox.
QComboBox::InsertAtCurrent2The current item will be replaced by the string.
QComboBox::InsertAtBottom3The string will be inserted after the last item in the combobox.
QComboBox::InsertAfterCurrent4The string is inserted after the current item in the combobox.
QComboBox::InsertBeforeCurrent5The string is inserted before the current item in the combobox.
QComboBox::InsertAlphabetically6The string is inserted in the alphabetic order in the combobox.

enum QComboBox::SizeAdjustPolicy

This enum specifies how the size hint of the QComboBox should adjust when new content is added or content changes.

ConstantValueDescription
QComboBox::AdjustToContents0The combobox will always adjust to the contents
QComboBox::AdjustToContentsOnFirstShow1The combobox will adjust to its contents the first time it is shown.
QComboBox::AdjustToMinimumContentsLengthWithIconAdjustToContentsOnFirstShow + 2The combobox will adjust to minimumContentsLength plus space for an icon. For performance reasons use this policy on large models.

Property Documentation

count : const int

This property holds the number of items in the combobox

By default, for an empty combo box, this property has a value of 0.

Access functions:

int count() const

currentData : const QVariant

This property holds the data for the current item

By default, for an empty combo box or a combo box in which no current item is set, this property contains an invalid QVariant.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.2.

Access functions:

QVariant currentData(int role = Qt::UserRole) const

currentIndex : int

This property holds the index of the current item in the combobox.

The current index can change when inserting or removing items.

By default, for an empty combo box or a combo box in which no current item is set, this property has a value of -1.

Access functions:

int currentIndex() const
void setCurrentIndex(int index)

Notifier signal:

void currentIndexChanged(int index)

currentText : QString

This property holds the current text

If the combo box is editable, the current text is the value displayed by the line edit. Otherwise, it is the value of the current item or an empty string if the combo box is empty or no current item is set.

The setter setCurrentText() simply calls setEditText() if the combo box is editable. Otherwise, if there is a matching text in the list, currentIndex is set to the corresponding index.

Access functions:

QString currentText() const
void setCurrentText(const QString &text)

Notifier signal:

void currentTextChanged(const QString &text)

See also editable and setEditText().

duplicatesEnabled : bool

This property holds whether the user can enter duplicate items into the combobox

Note that it is always possible to programmatically insert duplicate items into the combobox.

By default, this property is false (duplicates are not allowed).

Access functions:

bool duplicatesEnabled() const
void setDuplicatesEnabled(bool enable)

editable : bool

This property holds whether the combo box can be edited by the user

By default, this property is false. The effect of editing depends on the insert policy.

Note: When disabling the editable state, the validator and completer are removed.

Access functions:

bool isEditable() const
void setEditable(bool editable)

See also InsertPolicy.

frame : bool

This property holds whether the combo box draws itself with a frame

If enabled (the default) the combo box draws itself inside a frame, otherwise the combo box draws itself without any frame.

Access functions:

bool hasFrame() const
void setFrame(bool)

iconSize : QSize

This property holds the size of the icons shown in the combobox.

Unless explicitly set this returns the default value of the current style. This size is the maximum size that icons can have; icons of smaller size are not scaled up.

Access functions:

QSize iconSize() const
void setIconSize(const QSize &size)

insertPolicy : InsertPolicy

This property holds the policy used to determine where user-inserted items should appear in the combobox

The default value is InsertAtBottom, indicating that new items will appear at the bottom of the list of items.

Access functions:

QComboBox::InsertPolicy insertPolicy() const
void setInsertPolicy(QComboBox::InsertPolicy policy)

See also InsertPolicy.

maxCount : int

This property holds the maximum number of items allowed in the combobox

Note: If you set the maximum number to be less then the current amount of items in the combobox, the extra items will be truncated. This also applies if you have set an external model on the combobox.

By default, this property's value is derived from the highest signed integer available (typically 2147483647).

Access functions:

int maxCount() const
void setMaxCount(int max)

maxVisibleItems : int

This property holds the maximum allowed size on screen of the combo box, measured in items

By default, this property has a value of 10.

Note: This property is ignored for non-editable comboboxes in styles that returns true for QStyle::SH_ComboBox_Popup such as the Mac style or the Gtk+ Style.

Access functions:

int maxVisibleItems() const
void setMaxVisibleItems(int maxItems)

minimumContentsLength : int

This property holds the minimum number of characters that should fit into the combobox.

The default value is 0.

If this property is set to a positive value, the minimumSizeHint() and sizeHint() take it into account.

Access functions:

int minimumContentsLength() const
void setMinimumContentsLength(int characters)

See also sizeAdjustPolicy.

modelColumn : int

This property holds the column in the model that is visible.

If set prior to populating the combo box, the pop-up view will not be affected and will show the first column (using this property's default value).

By default, this property has a value of 0.

Access functions:

int modelColumn() const
void setModelColumn(int visibleColumn)

placeholderText : QString

Sets a placeholderText text shown when no valid index is set

The placeholderText will be shown when an invalid index is set. The text is not accessible in the dropdown list. When this function is called before items are added the placeholder text will be shown, otherwise you have to call setCurrentIndex(-1) programmatically if you want to show the placeholder text. Set an empty placeholder text to reset the setting.

When the QComboBox is editable, use QLineEdit::setPlaceholderText() instead.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.15.

Access functions:

QString placeholderText() const
void setPlaceholderText(const QString &placeholderText)

sizeAdjustPolicy : SizeAdjustPolicy

This property holds the policy describing how the size of the combobox changes when the content changes

The default value is AdjustToContentsOnFirstShow.

Access functions:

QComboBox::SizeAdjustPolicy sizeAdjustPolicy() const
void setSizeAdjustPolicy(QComboBox::SizeAdjustPolicy policy)

See also SizeAdjustPolicy.

Member Function Documentation

QComboBox::QComboBox(QWidget *parent = nullptr)

Constructs a combobox with the given parent, using the default model QStandardItemModel.

[signal] void QComboBox::activated(int index)

This signal is sent when the user chooses an item in the combobox. The item's index is passed. Note that this signal is sent even when the choice is not changed. If you need to know when the choice actually changes, use signal currentIndexChanged() or currentTextChanged().

Note: Signal activated is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:

connect(comboBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QComboBox::activated),
    [=](int index){ /* ... */ });

[slot] void QComboBox::clear()

Clears the combobox, removing all items.

Note: If you have set an external model on the combobox this model will still be cleared when calling this function.

[slot] void QComboBox::clearEditText()

Clears the contents of the line edit used for editing in the combobox.

[signal] void QComboBox::currentIndexChanged(int index)

This signal is sent whenever the currentIndex in the combobox changes either through user interaction or programmatically. The item's index is passed or -1 if the combobox becomes empty or the currentIndex was reset.

Note: Notifier signal for property currentIndex.

Note: Signal currentIndexChanged is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:

connect(comboBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QComboBox::currentIndexChanged),
    [=](int index){ /* ... */ });

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

[signal] void QComboBox::currentTextChanged(const QString &text)

This signal is sent whenever currentText changes. The new value is passed as text.

Note: Notifier signal for property currentText.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

[signal] void QComboBox::editTextChanged(const QString &text)

This signal is emitted when the text in the combobox's line edit widget is changed. The new text is specified by text.

[signal] void QComboBox::highlighted(int index)

This signal is sent when an item in the combobox popup list is highlighted by the user. The item's index is passed.

Note: Signal highlighted is overloaded in this class. To connect to this signal by using the function pointer syntax, Qt provides a convenient helper for obtaining the function pointer as shown in this example:

connect(comboBox, QOverload<int>::of(&QComboBox::highlighted),
    [=](int index){ /* ... */ });

[slot] void QComboBox::setEditText(const QString &text)

Sets the text in the combobox's text edit.

[signal] void QComboBox::textActivated(const QString &text)

This signal is sent when the user chooses an item in the combobox. The item's text is passed. Note that this signal is sent even when the choice is not changed. If you need to know when the choice actually changes, use signal currentIndexChanged() or currentTextChanged().

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

[signal] void QComboBox::textHighlighted(const QString &text)

This signal is sent when an item in the combobox popup list is highlighted by the user. The item's text is passed.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.14.

[virtual] QComboBox::~QComboBox()

See also insertItem().

void QComboBox::insertSeparator(int index)

Inserts a separator item into the combobox at the given index.

If the index is equal to or higher than the total number of items, the new item is appended to the list of existing items. If the index is zero or negative, the new item is prepended to the list of existing items.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also insertItem().

QVariant QComboBox::itemData(int index, int role = Qt::UserRole) const

Sets the validator to use instead of the current validator.

Note: The validator is removed when the editable property becomes false.

See also validator().

void QComboBox::setView(QAbstractItemView *itemView)

Sets the view to be used in the combobox popup to the given itemView. The combobox takes ownership of the view.

Note: If you want to use the convenience views (like QListWidget, QTableWidget or QTreeWidget), make sure to call setModel() on the combobox with the convenience widgets model before calling this function.

See also view().

[override virtual protected] void QComboBox::showEvent(QShowEvent *e)

Reimplements: QWidget::showEvent(QShowEvent *event).

[virtual] void QComboBox::showPopup()

See also hidePopup().

[override virtual] QSize QComboBox::sizeHint() const

Reimplements an access function for property: QWidget::sizeHint.

This implementation caches the size hint to avoid resizing when the contents change dynamically. To invalidate the cached value change the sizeAdjustPolicy.
