QT I want to increase the size of comboBox Down list not the drop- Down icon ?

[amarism]

I have a combo box and i want to change (increase) the size of the down list. That contain all description index value visible.
Initially I am getting this one output.

But i want output like this

Also I want to remove the icon index that is showing inside the down list. Here is my code.

QIcon icon = QIcon::fromTheme("C:/Users/DragDrop/black-play-button.jpg");
 QString label = "";
   ui->comboBox->addItem( icon,label );
ui->comboBox->setMinimumWidth(100);
ui->comboBox->setIconSize(QSize(40, 40));
ui->comboBox->setDisabled(false);
ui->comboBox->addItem("Fill viewport  ctrl+0");
ui->comboBox->addItem("100%   ctrl+1");
ui->comboBox->addItem("200%   ctrl+2");
ui->comboBox->addItem("400%   ctrl+3");
ui->comboBox->addItem("800%   ctrl+4");

Hi
You can set size via the model. (pr item)

#include <QtGui>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QComboBox>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QComboBox cb;
cb.addItems(QStringList() << "a" << "b" << "c" << "d");
cb.model()->setData(cb.model()->index(0, 0), QSize(100, 100), Qt::SizeHintRole);
cb.show();
return app.exec();
}

You can also use a stylesheet.

@mrjj when i use one code :-

ui->comboBox->model()->setData(ui->comboBox->model()->index(0, 0), QSize(100, 100), Qt::SizeHintRole);

this one just increase the size icon index size not the down list width.
Also I dont want to show the icon inside the drop list.

Hi
It sets the Items Height.
Just make all items bigger and dropdown also be bigger.
Sample just sets item 0,0. you need set on all items.

@mrjj said in QT I want to increase the size of comboBox Down list not the drop- Down icon ?:

Just make all items bigger and dropdown also be bigger.

Sorry i am not getting this thing. item bigger and dropdown bigger. But I want only item width bigger

[mrjj]

@amarism
Just adjust to what u want
QSize(100, 100) is the size. 100 width, 100 height

But the width of the drop-down is the width of the combo itself

@mrjj I don't want to increase the size of header combo box . Becaue i am using combobox as a button in my ui viewer. So, I can't set button size this much. I want the combo Box like this

[mrjj]

@amarism
ok.
you need to subclass for that i think.
https://forum.qt.io/topic/30405/how-to-change-qcombobox-popup-width

Alternatively, you canuse toolbutton and QMenu.

@mrjj So i need to create QTableWidget inside the comboBox or any other method to do this

[mrjj]

@amarism
I dont know what u mean.
Link talks about overriding showPopup to alter size.
That should do it.

[amarism]

@mrjj Still i am not getting any proper solution for this question

[jsulm]

@amarism Did you try what @mrjj suggested?

[amarism]

@jsulm yup but still this one not working

[mrjj]

@amarism
In what way did it not work for you ?
Seems to work as expected.

class WideComboBox : public QComboBox
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit WideComboBox(QWidget *parent = nullptr) : QComboBox(parent) {};
    ~WideComboBox() {}
public:
    void showPopup() {
        this->view()->setMinimumWidth(this->view()->sizeHintForColumn(0));
        QComboBox::showPopup();
    }
};

setting it to 400 ;)

Additionally to what @mrjj wrote, you should also be able to set the size of the view via a StyleSheet, a viable option if you don't plan to vary the size all to often

ui->comboBox->setStyleSheet("QComboBox QAbstractItemView {min-width: 400px;}"),

[amarism]

can i add the vertical spacing between the rows

[amarism]

@J.Hilk Thanku @J-Hilk . Now its working for me

[amarism]

@J.Hilk One more problem comes here, I am added a icon for combo box . And it will showing inside the dropdown popup. can i hide from icom from dropdown button

[J.Hilk]

@amarism I don't think you can do that via the StyleSheet. My guess would be to subclass QComboBox and override the paintEvent and ignore the Qt::DecorationRole !?
