[signal] void QComboBox::​activated(int index)

This signal is sent when the user chooses an item in the combobox. The item's index is passed. Note that this signal is sent even when the choice is not changed. If you need to know when the choice actually changes, use signal currentIndexChanged().

[signal] void QComboBox::​activated(const QString & text)

This signal is sent when the user chooses an item in the combobox. The item's text is passed. Note that this signal is sent even when the choice is not changed. If you need to know when the choice actually changes, use signal currentIndexChanged().

Adds an item to the combobox with the given text, and containing the specified userData (stored in the Qt::UserRole). The item is appended to the list of existing items.

void QComboBox::​addItem(const QIcon & icon, const QString & text, const QVariant & userData = QVariant())

Adds an item to the combobox with the given icon and text, and containing the specified userData (stored in the Qt::UserRole). The item is appended to the list of existing items.

void QComboBox::​addItems(const QStringList & texts)

Adds each of the strings in the given texts to the combobox. Each item is appended to the list of existing items in turn.

[virtual protected] void QComboBox::​changeEvent(QEvent * e)

See also insertItem().

void QComboBox::​insertSeparator(int index)

Inserts a separator item into the combobox at the given index.

If the index is equal to or higher than the total number of items, the new item is appended to the list of existing items. If the index is zero or negative, the new item is prepended to the list of existing items.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

Sets the item delegate for the popup list view. The combobox takes ownership of the delegate.

Warning: You should not share the same instance of a delegate between comboboxes, widget mappers or views. Doing so can cause incorrect or unintuitive editing behavior since each view connected to a given delegate may receive the closeEditor() signal, and attempt to access, modify or close an editor that has already been closed.

See also itemDelegate().

Sets the view to be used in the combobox popup to the given itemView. The combobox takes ownership of the view.
