[SOLVED =)]ComboBox Qstring but need an int or GLenumb

[A Former User]

Thank you, it seems i am doing something wrong
@ui->cmbx_primatives->addItem(const QString("Test"), const QVariant & userdata = QVariant(const int(0x0000)));@

[A Former User]

Try this:
@ui->cmbx_primatives->addItem("Test", QVariant::fromValue<int>(0x0000));@

yep AcerExtensa that worked like a charm =]
but how do I access the integer value from arg1 so I could pass it to the render class?

[A Former User]

use
@void currentIndexChanged ( int index )@
signal instead one with QString.

your slot will be when like this:
@void MainWindow::on_cmbx_primatives_currentIndexChanged(int index)
{
primL = ui->cmbx_primatives->itemData(index).toInt();
GLFrame->RenderThread.setPrimitiveType(primL);
}@

AcerExtensa your magic worker, is it possible to access the name of the index instead of the number.
I tried @QString arg1 = ui->cmbx_primatives->itemText(index).toStdWString();@ but that's wrong

[A Former User]

@QString arg1 = ui->cmbx_primatives->itemText(index);@

should be enough... or:

@QString arg1 = ui->cmbx_primatives->currentText();@
it will return text of currently selected item

Yep that worked right away.

Well I removed all the values from the comboxbox in the Qt creator interface and the program crashed.
"The program has unexpectedly finished."

So then I just randomly added an item to the combo box and it worked again. Why's that?

[A Former User]

Maybe you're trying to access items or userData before there is any items in combobox? Sounds pretty like that....
