    to remove duplicates

    guesslist.removeDuplicates(); // clear duplicates
    guesslist.removeAll(QString(""));
    combo->model()->removeRows(0,combo->count(),combo->rootModelIndex()); // remove all items from the combo
    combo->addItems(guesslist);  //add list to combobox
    

    remove those that don't appear in guesslist
    --means using removerows() all items are removed everytime so this need to change ??

        @VRonin said in Combobox in Qtableview:
        for (int r = 0, maxI = table1->rowCount(); r < maxI; ++r) { //for all value rows
        guesslist.append( table1->data(table1->index(r, 0)).toString() );//store value in stringlist
        }

        guesslist is always updated,

        for (int i = 0, maxI = table2->rowCount(); i < maxI; ++i)//for all rows
            {
                const QModelIndex idx = table2->index(i, 1);
                QComboBox* combo = qobject_cast<QComboBox*>(ui.tableView_2->indexWidget(idx));
                if (!combo)
                  {
                    combo = new QComboBox(); // make combo  
                    ui.tableView_2->setIndexWidget(idx, combo);// add combo
                }
                colvallist1.removeDuplicates(); // strip dubs clear dublicates
                colvallist1.removeAll(QString(""));
                combo->setPlaceholderText(QString(" "));
        
                combo->addItems(guesslist); // adding gueslist will add item value everytime so no need to pass this right ??
        combo->removeItem(); 
        

        iterate over the items in the combo, remove those that don't appear in guesslist and add those that appear in guesslist but are not already in the combo

        item should store in another Qstringlist and then check with initial list ?

          In prev code i add these code lines, and now selection not changed when added new items in tableview column and updating in col combobox values

           for (int i = 0; i < guesslist.count(); i++) 
                  {
                      if (combo->findText(guesslist[i]) != -1)//-1 means "not found"
                      { 
                          continue;
                      }
                      else {
                          combo->addItem(guesslist[i]); //Add to QCombobox
                      }
          

          but not able to apply for "remove those t don't appear in guesslist (when col1 row values chnaged)" ??

            So you have to one of:

            • Have another loop/iterator through all the items which are in the combo box and remove any which are not in the guess list now; or
            • Clear out all the items in the combo box first, and then only add back in those which are now in guess list.

              when i'm clearing all first then, whatever my prev selection in combobox it will be gone 
               combo->clear();

              tried this but not working correctly where to chnge ?,when I'm changing value in guesslist then the combo selection got changed

                QStringList itemsInComboBox;

                Yes, and, so? If you want to preserve what was selected, note it and reselect.

                Your loop for removing is no good. For one thing, you only check the same index in both guess list and combo box. If you do not clear the items, implement what I wrote:

                Have another loop/iterator through all the items which are in the combo box and remove any which are not in the guess list now

                That is just basic algorithmic stuff.

                    Hi,
                    adding those that appear in guesslist code-

                    for (int i = 0; i < guesslist.count(); i++) 
                        {
                            if (combo->findText(guesslist[i]) != -1)//-1 means "not found"
                            { 
                                continue;
                            }
                            else {
                                combo->addItem(guesslist[i]); //Add to QCombobox
                            }
                    

                    ///remove which are not in the guess list code below I tried multiple times but this is not working correctly ? I don't want to change my selection when any item added / removed / replaced ..Plz help😞

                    QStringList itemsInComboBox;
                     for (int index = 0; index < guesslist.count(); ++index) {  //check in list
                        for (int item = 0; item < combo->count(); ++item) {  //check in combobox
                            itemsInComboBox << combo->itemText(item);
                            qDebug() << "before remove " << itemsInComboBox;
                                      if ( guesslist[index] != itemsInComboBox[item]  )
                                      combo->removeItem(item);
                            }

                    Thanks in advance

                      for me this way is not working any how selection of combobox is going away..
                      how can i store the selection of combobox ?

                        @n-2204 https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#currentIndex-prop or currentText() if you can't relay on the order of the items or itemData() if you use roles, later on you can find the same text with different index, if that's the case, using findText() or findData().

                        Do you read any documentation at all? It's all there in clear text.

                        For more information please re-read.

                        Kind Regards,
                        Artur

                          The whole thing, for what I think you say you want:

                          QString selected = combo->currentText();
                          combo->clear();
                          combo->addItems(guesslist);
                          combo->setCurrentText(selected);

                            The whole thing, for what I think you say you want:

                            QString selected = combo->currentText();
                            combo->clear();
                            combo->addItems(guesslist);
                            combo->setCurrentText(selected);

                              @n-2204 https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#currentIndex-prop or currentText() if you can't relay on the order of the items or itemData() if you use roles, later on you can find the same text with different index, if that's the case, using findText() or findData().

                              Do you read any documentation at all? It's all there in clear text.

                                From my code all you need to restore the selection is the combo->setCurrentText(selected);.
