        What's the reason you want to confuse your users in thinking that they can edit the value when they can't?

          You could do something like in PySide , so you have to translate it into Qt -C++

          I had the same situation and i overcome with the following code.
          @
          alphabets=["A","B","C","D","E","F","G"] #list of items to show
          alphbets_cmbbx=QtGui.QComboBox(self)
          alphbets_cmbbx.setEditable(True)
          alphbets_cmbbx.addItems(alphabets) # add items list here
          alphbets_cmbbx.setInsertPolicy(QtGui.QComboBox.NoInsert)
          alphbets_cmbbx.setCurrentIndex(-1)
          @
          #add your custom Validator using QRegExpValidator to it for accepting only letters
          #add your signals

          With this one can enter different letters which will not be saved and they can also pick one from the list.
