      If your combox is empty no signal will be emitted.
      But you can "installEventFilter":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qobject.html#installEventFilter for your combobox and reimplement "eventfilter":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/eventsandfilters.html#event-filters and intercept the event you desire viz. MousePress or MouseRelease in your case and do there whatever is needed.

        class KeyPressEater : public QObject
        {
        Q_OBJECT
        ...

        protected:
        bool eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event);
        };

        bool KeyPressEater::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
        {
        if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
        QKeyEvent *keyEvent = static_cast<QKeyEvent *>(event);
        qDebug("Ate key press %d", keyEvent->key());
        return true;
        } else {
        // standard event processing
        return QObject::eventFilter(obj, event);
        }
        }

        KeyPressEater *keyPressEater = new KeyPressEater(this);
        QPushButton *pushButton = new QPushButton(this);
        QListView *listView = new QListView(this);

        pushButton->installEventFilter(keyPressEater);
        listView->installEventFilter(keyPressEater);

          A bit late but for everyone who finds this post in a quest to get this question answered:
          An alternative is to overload the showPopup method:

          #include <QComboBox>

          class CPortsComboBox : public QComboBox
          {
          Q_OBJECT
          public:
          explicit CPortsComboBox(QWidget *parent = 0);
          virtual ~CPortsComboBox();

          public:
          virtual void showPopup()
          {
          while (count() > 0) { removeItem(0); }
          addItem("hello");
          addItem("World"):
          QComboBox::showPopup();
          }
          };
