QCompleter: Multiple words in one line, want completion on each word individually

Mamegohan

Hi,

I'm using QCompleter to complete words in a QLineEdit. The lineedit handles the input to a command-line interface (built on AngelScript), so I must support lines like:
Item i = Item("ItemName");
and similar.

I've collected all keywords and identifiers in a QStringListModel and set that as the completion model. If I type

Ite

I will get "Item" suggested to me. However, if I continue typing:

Item ite

I do not get a suggestion for the second word. I'd be grateful for any ideas on how to do this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi
The default operation will not do that I think as it see full text and dont know
u want only the newly typed.
The functionality you are after seems to be very like

The answer is to write your custom completer. See @mrjj's link for details.
