How to display ComboBox item based on value?

[WhatIf]

Hi,

I'm try to display one of pre-existing values of a combobox.

ui->genderComboBox->setCurrentIndex(
                ui->genderComboBox->findData(
                    QString::fromStdString(member->getGender())));

Basically, if member->getGender() returns male or female, I want that to display. The combobox was created using qt designer.

When I run the code above, a blank item is displayed in the combobox. If I click the drop down arrow, it displays male and female.

How about QComboBox::setCurrentText(const QString& text)?

ui->genderComboBox->setCurrentText(member->getGender());
