Solved QComboBox LineEdit crashing
-
Hello,
I'm trying to set the alignment in my QComboBox line edit field.#include <QComboBox> #include <QLineEdit> ui->cmbTest->lineEdit()->setAlignment(Qt::AlignHCenter);
I found out that the function:
ui->cmbTest->lineEdit();
Was actually returning a null pointer. That is when I do this:
QLineEdit *tmp = ui->cmbTest->lineEdit();
tmp = NULL
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

Read the docs! :)https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#lineEdit
Returns the line edit used to edit items in the combobox, or nullptr if there is no line edit.
Only editable combo boxes have a line edit.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#editable-prop
This property holds whether the combo box can be edited by the user
By default, this property is false. The effect of editing depends on the insert policy.
(So, to be clear, if you have not gone
ui->cmbTest->setEditable(true)
you won't have a line edit!) -
Hello. Thanks for the response.
I ended up making the combo boxes editable in QtCreator and then doing this:ui->cmbTest->lineEdit()->setReadOnly(true); ui->cmbTest->lineEdit()->setAlignment(Qt::AlignHCenter);
Regards.
