[solved]How can I customize ComboBox?

@beidaochuan What do you want to do ? Can you provide a screenshot or some code sample ?

@p3c0
i am sorry. could you tell me how i can upload a image.

p3c0

@beidaochuan Upload it to one of the image hosting sites like postimage.org or imgur.com or tinypic.com. Then after uploading there it will return a url. Post that url here directly or to embed it here use syntax ![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)

@p3c0
Thank you.
usual combobox Alt text
so i want to replace "banana/apple/coconut" with the qml element

p3c0

@beidaochuan Still trying to understand. The image in the second link will be one of the item of ComboBox ?

beidaochuan

@p3c0
yes. the second image is one of the items of combobox. In fact the second image is a qml element.

p3c0

@beidaochuan Ok then to make your own custom dropdown. For now, you will need to implement your own dropdown style using __dropDownStyle private property inside ComboBoxStyle.

@beidaochuan To explain here's an example:
main.qml

import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3

Item {
    width: 250
    height: 120

    ComboBox {
        model: ListModel {
            id: cbItems
            ListElement { text: "Banana"; color: "Yellow" }
            ListElement { text: "Apple"; color: "Green" }
            ListElement { text: "Coconut"; color: "Brown" }
        }
        width: 200

        style: ComboBoxStyle {
            id: comboBoxStyle
            background: Rectangle {
                id: rect
                border.color: "red"
                color: "white"
            }

            label: Text {
                color: "black"
                text: control.currentText
            }

            __dropDownStyle: MenuStyle {
                frame: DropDownItem { }

                itemDelegate.label: Text {
                    color: styleData.selected ? "red" : "black"
                    text: styleData.text
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

DropDownItem.qml

import QtQuick 2.4

Rectangle {
    color: "white"
    border.width: 1
    radius: 5
    border.color: "gray"
}

Now you can change DropDownItem as per your needs. I see you have some images in it. So you can use Image element inside DropDownItem.

@p3c0
thank you for your apply.
I will try to do as you said.
have a nice day.

beidaochuan

@p3c0
i did as you said, and modified the source as follows.

itemDelegate.background: IUserLevelImage{ userLevel: combx.currentIndex + 1}
frame: DropDownItem { }

And get the result like http://imgur.com/m4QW7c6
But I want to get the different background for banana , apple and coconut
what should i do?

p3c0

@beidaochuan In that case use a Loader for itemDelegate.background and load the Components (in your case QML files) as per conditions. Each Component will contain individual styles.

itemDelegate.background: Loader {
    source: if(styleData.text==="Coconut") {
                return "CoconutStyle.qml"
            } else if(styleData.text==="Banana") {
                return "BananaStyle.qml"
            } else if(styleData.text==="Apple") {
                return "AppleStyle.qml"
            }
}

Thanks at first.
I am sorry that maybe I did not make the problem clear.
I want to implement a custom ComboBox whose items can be text , image, or object (***.qml).
So I think it would be common for all case.
Could you give me some advice?

p3c0

@beidaochuan You can put those components in respective QML files or Component and load it using Loader as shown in previous post.

I modified the code like:

//IComboBox

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3

Item {
    id: root
    width: 200
    height: 50

    property alias comboBoxModel: combx.model
    property alias comboBoxStyleBackground: m_comboBoxStyle
    property alias dropDownMenuStyleframe: m_dropDownMenuStyleFrame
    signal indexChanged()
    property alias currentIndex: combx.currentIndex
    property alias currentText: combx.currentText

    Rectangle {
        id: m_dropDownMenuStyleFrame
    }

    Rectangle {
        id: m_comboBoxStyle
    }

    ComboBox {
        id: combx
        model: ListModel {
            id: cbItems
        }
        width: 200
        height: 50
        style: ComboBoxStyle {
            id: comboBoxStyle
            background: m_comboBoxStyle
            label: Text {
                color: "black"
                width: 200
                height: 50
                text: control.currentText
            }

            __dropDownStyle: MenuStyle {
                id: dropDownMenuStyle
                frame: dropDownMenuStyleFrame
                itemDelegate.label: Text {
                    width:200
                    height: 50
                    color: styleData.selected ? "blue" : "black"
                    text: styleData.text
                }

                itemDelegate.background: Rectangle {
                    z: 1
                    opacity: 0.5
                    color: styleData.selected ? "darkGray" : "transparent"
                }
            }
        }
        onCurrentIndexChanged: {
            root.indexChanged()
        }
    }
}

I use it in another my.qml,

// my.qml
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3

IComboBox {
    id: root
    width: 200
    height: 50

    property int m_userLevel: 1
    comboBoxModel: ListModel {
        id: cbItems
        ListElement { }
        ListElement { }
        ListElement { }
        ListElement { }
    }
    comboBoxStyleBackground: IUserLevelImage {
        userLevel: m_userLevel
    }
    dropDownMenuStyleframe: IUserLevelImage1 {
        id: items
    }
    onIndexChanged: {
        m_userLevel = currentIndex + 1
    }
}

So an error happened.
Invalid property assignment: "dropDownMenuStyleframe" is a read-only property

Could yoy tell me the reason and how i can modified it ?

beidaochuan

@p3c0
By the way, how should i post the code using format?

p3c0

@beidaochuan That is because alias'es work with Component's properties and not with Components. More info here. The example should explain.
Put your code after ``` (3 backticks) and end with the same. I have done it for you now.

I modified the source as follows and I think it works well.

//IComboBox
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3

ComboBox {
    id: root
    width: 200
    height: 50

    property alias comboBoxModel: root.model
    signal indexChanged()
    property alias currentIndex: root.currentIndex
    property alias currentText: root.currentText

    property Component comboBoxStyleBackground: Component { Rectangle{} }
    property Component dropDownMenuStyleFrame: Component { Rectangle{} }

    function setComboBoxStyleBackground(background) {
        comboBoxStyleBackground = background
    }

    function setDropDownMenuStyleFrame(frame) {
        dropDownMenuStyleFrame = frame
    }

    model: ListModel {
        id: cbItems
        ListElement { text: "" }
    }

    style: ComboBoxStyle {
        id: comboBoxStyle
        background: comboBoxStyleBackground
        label: Text {
            color: "black"
            width: root.width
            height: root.height
            text: control.currentText
        }

        __dropDownStyle: MenuStyle {
            id: dropDownMenuStyle
            frame: dropDownMenuStyleFrame
            itemDelegate.label: Text {
                width:root.width - 50
                height: root.height
                color: styleData.selected ? "blue" : "black"
                text: styleData.text
            }

            itemDelegate.background: Rectangle {
                z: 1
                opacity: 0.5
                color: styleData.selected ? "darkGray" : "transparent"
            }
        }
    }

    onCurrentIndexChanged: {
        root.indexChanged()
    }
}

//MyComboBox
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.3
import QtQuick.Controls.Styles 1.3

IComboBox {
    id: root
    width: 200
    height: 50

    property int m_userLevel: 1
    comboBoxModel: ListModel {
        id: cbItems
        ListElement { text: "" }
        ListElement { text: "" }
        ListElement { text: "" }
        ListElement { text: "" }
    }


    Component {
        id: comboBoxStyleBackground
        IUserLevelImage {
            anchors.fill: parent
            userLevel: m_userLevel
        }
    }


    Component {
        id: dropDownMenuStyleFrame
        IUserLevelImage1 {
        }
    }
    onIndexChanged: {
        m_userLevel = currentIndex + 1
    }
    Component.onCompleted: {
        setComboBoxStyleBackground(comboBoxStyleBackground)
        setDropDownMenuStyleFrame(dropDownMenuStyleFrame)
    }
}

@beidaochuan That's good :)
If you are done, please mark the post as solved.
