How to fill QML Combobox with name of files present in a folder

[Foufy]

Hi everybody,
I'm a beginner in QML development, and I have lot of difficulties to understand how to fill a QML ComboBox using a list of file obtained by searching inside a specified folder.
e.g list all *.wav file present in "./MySound" folder

Thank you for you help.

Hi @Foufy

you should take a look at the docs here
It seems to cover your specific case perfectly.

Hi and thank you for your answer,
but how to put the result of the folderlistmodel into the combobox. I not able to do it. I'm a real beginner ;)

@Foufy pretty straight forward actually:

import QtQuick 2.9
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import Qt.labs.folderlistmodel 2.1
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 640
    height: 480
    title: qsTr("Hello World")


    ComboBox {
        anchors.centerIn: parent

        width: 200
        height: 50

        FolderListModel{
            id:folderModel
        }

        model:folderModel
        textRole: 'fileName'
    }
}

But I had to use google once, as ComboBox has no basic delegate like ListView ,for example, has and my standard approach did not work x).

Kudos to @p3c0 from this old thread
