Solved How to setFocus on two widgets at once
-
I need to have a widget exactly like Sublime Text menus, like the package control / theme menu.
The QLineEdit can always be typed in and the list can always be scrolled as long as their parent widget is active. Is this possible in Qt?
-
well if u set list to Nofocus you can scroll it with mouse and keyboard focus stays with
QLineEdit -
Well its not ideal but I got it working.
- ListView has noFocus policy.
- If line edit has focus, re-implemented up and down arrows keys change index and selection of listview.
- Line Edit change policy to clickFocus because otherwise the arrows keys cause it to get focus (undesirable).
- connect ListView row clicked to accept and close events even if the menu wasnt focused.
- Style listview selected:!active so it doesnt show two different colors on click
I will post the code soon, I also want to try the classical QListWidget, it might be way simpler and should be faster?
