Qt ComboBox in Menu View Question

needhelp_gh

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to create a qcombobox with a menu view?

Please see image of what I mean:

I want a combobox with sublevels like the Edit menu.

Please let me know if this is unclear. Thanks in advanced!!

Do you mean a real QComboBox as widget inside a QAction or just a submenu?
The submenu can be created easily with QMenu::addMenu(), see docs

I wanted to have a hierarchical QComboBox with sub levels

ex:

combobox has items:

test1
test1.1
test1.2
test1.3
test2
test3

I tried to setView to a tree view, but it wasn't exactly what I wanted...I want more of a menu style.

Ahh okay, now I understand... But I'm afraid I can't help much. Of course there's always the possibility to just hack (subclass) QComboBox (or a QLineEdit) to just show a popup menu aligned with the widget so the impression to a regular combobox is similar.

By popup menu,

do you mean something like this:

DerManu

yes, exactly.

That sounds good if there are no other solutions.

Thanks for your help, DerManu!
