Qcompleter Rules

Carlosyoot

I'm making a Qcompleter for search fields and some QLineedits

I made a function that returns a List of all products and their code, exactly like this
['Samsung S21 - 00001', 'Keyboard - 00002', 'DDR4 Ram Memory - 3200mhz Skillre - 00005']

However, I couldn't find a way to just display this view, and the text filling would be just the code or name

The way to implement it is to activate a Timer that clears the field, and uses a split to separate the code and overwrites, but I think it is a bad practice.

The text returned after pressing enter on the options:

It should be just 00001

Hi,

Why not have a model with two columns and a custom delegate that stitches them when showing the list ?

@SGaist
Honestly, I don't know much about delegate, it scares me the way it works.

So let me see if I understand, you are suggesting that I create two columns that turn into one item, and I just return part of that item?

No, just a model where you have two columns in each row (data entry).
One for your description like Samsung S21 and one for your "code" or whatever data behind that, like 00001.
Then you create a simple delegate for that model to display the column of data you need from the model and set that delegate to your view.
