[SOLVED] Qml Combobox delegate?

[themts]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if it is possible to use a list of custom classes as model for a qml combobox? I don't see any option to assign a delegate.

What I want:

• I have list of configurations (class config).
• Each config has a name and a bunch of properties.
• I want to fill a combobox with all available configs (model: QList<config*>).
• If I select an item from the combobox I want to display some components to edit properties of the selected item.

Any suggestions how I should implement it?

Thanks!

@themts AFAIK you can use all derivatives of QAbstractItemModel like QAbstractListModel or QStringListModel and also object list models using QList<QObject*>.
Have a look at these examples. IMO, they should work with ComboBox too.

I know these samples and I already used models with ListViews but Listview has a delegate.
Let's say I use a QList<QObject*> as model. Which property of my QObject will be used as text in the comboBox?

@themts So assuming your QObject subclassed class has a property say for eg. name then to populate ComboBox with it you will have to set textRole to 'name'

ComboBox {
    model: myModel
    textRole: 'name'
}

Ahhhhh! Thanks!
I didn't know what textrole is for!
