Custom Input: QLineEdit

fem_dev

Looking inside Qt Creator IDE -> Tools -> Options -> Build & Run -> General Tab:
There is a "Default build directory" input field.

When I click inside this field, it shows me a "AB" icon on the right side.
And if I click in this icon, I got a list window with some options...

I would like to know how can I implement this QLineEdit component with this "right icon" feature.

Could you help me?

Hi,

Might be QLineEdit::addAction.

Otherwise, you can take a look at Qt Creator's sources for that field.

@sgaist that's right! Thank you!

QLineEdit *myLineEdit = new QLineEdit(this);
QAction *myAction = myLineEdit->addAction(QIcon("test.png"), QLineEdit::TrailingPosition);
connect(myAction, &QAction::triggered, this, &MyClass::onActionTriggered);
