QCompleter with Regular Expresions

[freddy311082]

Hi guys.... I need to use QCompleter with Regular Expression and I don't know why... to be exactly, I have a QLineEdit which I need to have the following behaviour:

Imagine that I have the folowwing list:
{"RegComp", "Testing the Qt Completer", "We are Testing Regular Expressions"}

I need that when I type "Test", the completer give me:
"Testing the Qt Completer"
"We are Testing Regular Expressions"
If I type "Test Reg" the completer give me:
"We are Testing Regular Expressions"

How can I do that ?? because the QCompleter doesn't have this behaviour

regards

Hi,

Can you show how you setup your QLineEdit + QCompleter ?

And which version of Qt are you using ?

Hi SGaist and thanks for always answer me...

I'm trying to do the same as the example in the assistance for the QCompleter help. The model is a list of strings, but I need to search using regular expressions

Then completer->setFilterMode(Qt::MatchContains); should get you what you want.
