Detailed Description
ComboBox is a combined button and popup list. It provides a means of presenting a list of options to the user in a way that takes up the minimum amount of screen space.
ComboBox is populated with a data model. The data model is commonly a JavaScript array, a ListModel or an integer, but also other types of data models are supported.
ComboBox {
model: ["First", "Second", "Third"]
}
ComboBox is able to visualize standard data models that provide the modelData role:
- models that have only one role
- models that do not have named roles (JavaScript array, integer)
When using models that have multiple named roles, ComboBox must be configured to use a specific text role for its display text and delegate instances.
ComboBox {
textRole: "key"
model: ListModel {
ListElement { key: "First"; value: 123 }
ListElement { key: "Second"; value: 456 }
ListElement { key: "Third"; value: 789 }
}
}
Note: If ComboBox is assigned a data model that has multiple named roles, but textRole is not defined, ComboBox is unable to visualize it and throws a ReferenceError: modelData is not defined.

ComboBox {
currentIndex: 1
displayText: "Size: " + currentText
model: ["S", "M", "L"]
}

This property holds the index of the highlighted item in the combo box popup list.

ComboBox {

Signal Documentation
This signal is emitted when the item at index is activated by the user.
See also currentIndex.
This signal is emitted when the item at index in the popup list is highlighted by the user.

Method Documentation
Decrements the current index of the combo box, or the highlighted index if the popup list when it is visible.
See also currentIndex and highlightedIndex.
Returns the index of the specified text, or -1 if no match is found.
The way the search is performed is defined by the specified match flags. By default, combo box performs case sensitive exact matching (Qt.MatchExactly). All other match types are case-insensitive unless the Qt.MatchCaseSensitive flag is also specified.
| Constant | Description |
|---|---|
Qt.MatchExactly | The search term matches exactly (default). |
Qt.MatchRegExp | The search term matches as a regular expression. |
Qt.MatchWildcard | The search term matches using wildcards. |
Qt.MatchFixedString | The search term matches as a fixed string. |
Qt.MatchStartsWith | The search term matches the start of the item. |
Qt.MatchEndsWidth | The search term matches the end of the item. |
Qt.MatchContains | The search term is contained in the item. |
Qt.MatchCaseSensitive | The search is case sensitive. |
See also textRole.
Increments the current index of the combo box, or the highlighted index if the popup list when it is visible.
