QComboBox write delay

Dear All

I have a problem,

We have a QComboBox on our aplication, but it is not editable.

We load the combo from sql and when we write to our combo if you are not fast enough you direct go to another word. Is there a function that would not forget the word you are writing.

How can there be a "word you are writing" when the QComboBox is not editable?

I dont want it to be editable,

If you combo is not editable you could still come on to it and start writing, I will come to word you are looking for if you are fast enough.

If you are not it will not jump to another letter.

like

a 1 sec b 1 sec c

you will find all the words in your combo,

abc.....

but if you do

a 1 sec b 3 sec c

you will find the words with

c....

I suppose you'll have to override keyPressEvent and implement the matching yourself.

Or even better, take a look at QApplication::keyboardInputInterval

What I need is a popup and will go as I write...

Bacause there is no insert in combo, and also no edit. If the users just write a combo and pass, maybe it wont be able to get a ID
