    Hi, I have the next QComboBox menu:

    QComboBox *Mode = new QComboBox(this);
    Mode->addItem(tr("Off"));
    Mode->addItem(tr("Manual"));
    Mode->addItem(tr("Automatic"));
    

    The default option shown is "Off", the question is: How can I change the menu selected with a a varaible... it is possible?

    my idea is : if(num == 3) Mode->setMenu(Automatic);

    Any help will be wellcomed.

    Thanks in advance

      The easiest way will be to use QComboBox::setCurrentIndex(int index).
      Note that indexes start with 0, not with 1. So in your case "Automatic" would have index 2.

      QComboBox::setCurrentText() was added somewhen after Qt 4.8 if that helps in your case.

      Hope that helps.

        QComboBox::setCurrentIndex() should be what you are looking for. Unless I misunderstood you.
