Customizing QComboBox dropdown

[krzysieklfc]

Hello

I want QComboBox dropdown to contain a special 'Create new' option just like in the image below. My ComboBox view is a custom QTableView, not a simple list.

I'm not very familiar with lower-level drawing APIs and I would like to pick the right tool for the job right from the start.
Any recommended approach I should take to implement this?

Thanks

Hi,

QStyledItemDelegate comes to mind for that.

@SGaist Thanks for responding.

While drawing seems pretty straightforward, how do I correctly extend the viewport boundaries so the new drawn rectangle is visible? I can't find an example of how to do that.
Is it all doable in QStyledItemDelegate or do I need to play with sizeHint etc.?

There might be several ways. You could implement a custom view which paints in a larger view port.

Or have that last item be a normal item and react on it when clicked.
