[Help] QComboBox multiple events
-
Hello,
i have a pretty simple question and i didnt found a solution on google yet.Is it possible to have 2 different events connected to a click on the QComboBox ?
What i need is the following:Event A: Click on the Box -> Do Function A
Event B: Click on the Arrow -> Toggle DropdownKind regards

Hi,
The dropdown is shown when you click on the arrow. What do you want to happen when you click in the line edit of the QComboBox ?
-
The dropdown is shown when i click anywhere on the combobox. Not just the arrow.
Let me explain it again:
[My1stEntry | ▼]
[My2ndEntry]
[My3rdEntry]- Click on Arrow: Toggle Dropdown
- Click on Entry (Dropdown off): Call function defined by me.
- Click on Entry (Dropdown on:) Set selected entry as current selected.
Maybe this helps more in terms of understanding.
-
As written before the handling of the dropdown is already there.
The only thing you have to do is connect the QComboBox::activated signal to the function you want to call when an item is selected.
-
Okay, then i simply don't get it. Because right now it doesn't matter where i click on the combobox, it will simply toggle the dropdown (not just on click on the arrow). And i dont seem to find a way to have a difference between
Click on Arrow
Click on ComboBox (showing the current selected entry
Click on Entry (when list is open)Guess i have to add a new button next to the combobox.

What Qt version are you using ?
What OS are you running ? -
Hi
Unless you make a subclass and implement to send signal on edit click
im not sure its possible. There seems to be no signal for user click on edit/text part.
You might be able to catch it using event filter.But its very uncommon to have combobox run some function if you click it
so i much more like you idea of an Execute button. :)
