Custom QComplete

[Kampi]

Hello Guys,

I use the QCompleter from this example

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-tools-customcompleter-textedit-cpp.html

with two modifications:

1. Use completionPrefix.length() < 1 instead of completionPrefix.length() < 3
2. Add a custom list

QAbstractItemModel *MainWindow::modelFromFile(const QString& fileName)
{
        QStringList words = {"Cat", "dog", "fish", "rat", "bird", "lion", "elephant"};

    return new QStringListModel(words, completer);
}

If I start the programm, the first two words ("Cat" and "dog") are working pretty fine, but I don´t get any completition for the third word and so on:

What is wrong with this example?

Thanks for help!

hi
i tried your code
( not completionPrefix as didnt see it ) but your list
and it does work with fish using ctrl+e ?

Hell mrjj,

thank you for your answer,
Yes, it works pretty fine with CTRL + E.
I mean the case when I type in "f", "i". For the word "cat" the auto complete window appears (see picture)

But not for some other words like "lion"

I don´t really understand this behavior....

Sorry, the upload picture is broken so others cant seem them.

I re-tested and yes, its a bit odd that only some can auto pop.

Do you know why the auto completer do this?
