Set ComboBox text to something not in model

[PhTe]

Hi,
i have a QML file with a ComboBox in it.

....
ComboBox {
                id: searchForComboBox
                objectName: "searchFor"
                anchors.margins: 2
                currentIndex:  0
                editable: true
                clip: true
                model: searchComboBoxModel
                width: 200
                editText: "abc" // <-- Problem here
            }
....

I need to set the text in the box to something that is not in the model. It should be used to indicate that nothing was selected in the combobox.
I tried the 'editText' property, but it seems it will be ignored. My combobox always selects the first model item on startup.

With Qt Quick Controls 2, you can set ComboBox::displayText to anything you like: http://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.7/qml-qtquick-controls2-combobox.html#displayText-prop
