Triggering ComboBox Accepted signal using a button outside of ComboBox

gabor53

Hi,
I have a ComboBox on a form. I also have a button on the form which the user need to press to process the data on the form.

ComboBox {
width: 200
model: [ "Banana", "Apple", "Coconut" ]
}

Right now I have to click on the ComboBox to accept the content and trigger the Accepted() signal.
Is it possible to accept the ComboBox content and trigger the Accepted() signal using a StyledButton which is independent from the ComboBox?
The goal is to read all the textfield and ComboBox content by clicking only once at the StyledButton.
Thank you.

Signals are very similar to functions, you may simply call this signal manually like yourComboBoxId.accepted() at onClicked button's slot.

Hi @intruderexcluder ,
I tried

WhatCombo.accepted()

accepted() was not offered as an option after hitting .
It did not give any specific error messages just doesn't work.
Thank you.

I was talking about like this:

...
MyCustomComboBox {
    id: mycombo
    ...
}
...
MyCustomButton {
    ...
    onClicked: {
        ...
        mycombo.accepted();
    }
}

I have the following:

    WhatCombo {
        id: whatCombo
        anchors.left: comboInstruct.left
        anchors.top: comboInstruct.bottom
        anchors.topMargin: 10
    }

        onClicked: {
           console.log("submit clicked.")
          whatCombo.accepted()
}

I think it should work, but it doesn't.

Just wrote a minumum example and it works fine:

Window {
    id: root
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    ComboBox {
        id: cb
        model: ["asd", "qwe", "zxc"]
    }

    Button {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        text: "Test"
        onClicked: cb.accepted()
    }

    Connections {
        target: cb
        onAccepted: console.log("COMBO ACCEPTED");
    }
}
