QComboBox doing weird things on first show
-
I created a little dialog window with a QComboBox reading its entries from a database. What's so weird about it, is that the entries are moving to the top of the window when the combobox is opened for the first time...
That's my dialog
!http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8619833/dialog.jpg(Dialog)!When clicking the combobox for the first time, it first seems like it would open correctly
!http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8619833/dialog2.jpg(Dialog2)!But then the entries suddenly move to the top
!http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8619833/dialog3.jpg(Dialog3)!After that, the combobox is working fine. No problems, until I close the dialog and open it up again...
-
I know there is some logic inside QComboBox to ensure, it is visible. Looks like there is a bug in.
I tried it in a simple project on WinXP where it worked well.
SO perhaps it's a win 7 problem or a style problem.
Could you try to run the app with a non win7 style or with windows Aero switched off? -
Just ran it on a WinXP machine and it worked fine! Disabling aero didn't change anything instead...
So I guess I'll have to wait for a bugbix?
-
so, disabling Aero did not work but on WinXP it worked?
What you could also try is to start with a specific style:in your main function use QWindowsStyle explictitly, perhaps it's a windows 7 style issue
and then, after evaluating this, I would write a bug report on "JIRA":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa -
I have a simple test on Win7 and it works fine. I have added 100 items to combo box.

Please "file a bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/, especially if you have some small application demonstrating the issue.

Interestingly enough, I also changed Windows 7 Aero themes to Windows 7 Basic, and all works perfectly. -

[/quote]But you did have problems with Windows 7 aero theme?

[quote author="EukeSnud" date="1309855086"]But you did have problems with Windows 7 aero theme[/quote]
No, it works on both Win 7 themes. I also played with and without layouts, but I didn't reproduce your bug. -
My combobox won't cause trouble unless I have more than 3 entries in it...
-
Just added a combobox to my main widget and filled it with 100 entries. No problems with this one ...
-
Might it be a problem with my QDialog? Let me post a small project containing a slim version of it...

I tested your posted code both with Win7 Aero theme and with Win7 Basic, but I could not replicate your problem.

This happens without you doing anything? -

[/quote]Yes, the entries are in the right spot for less than a second and then jump to the top. (As shown on the screens)

From what I understand, it is part of the code you posted, and you have no problems.
Are you sure that when you fill other combo box with ODBC drivers, you don't call other functions ? -
The code I posted is of a dialog window which can be executed as shown in main.cpp and this code causes the combobox on my dialog to perform the strange steps described...
However the dialog is part of a greater project and because I didn't want to post all of its source files I created this slim project above just executing my custom dialog.What I meant was, that I added a combobox to the main widget in my greater project and filled it with 100 entries. This combobox does not show the strange behaviour like the one mentioned in the code above!
-
Sorry, I can not replicate your problem with posted code on Win 7 (with both Aero & Basic themes). Maybe someone else can get an idea of what can happen.
-
I just tried it on another Win7 machine in the office and it worked just fine, so the problem seems to be bound to my local machine. But what could it be????
-
Maybe DPI ? ... or something else specific to your Win7 configuration
