Sorting Combobox Items

[raphaelf]

Hi,

im inserting some items like this:


QString path = ui.source_path_cb->currentText();
QDir dir(path);
QStringList list = dir.entryList(QDir::Files);
for(unsigned i=0; i<list.count();i++){
if(list[i]=="." || list[i]=="..") continue;
ui.software_cb->insertItem(-1, list[i]);}


How could i sort my combobox?

:crying:

See QComboBox::InsertPolicy.

Edit: Oh, and there is also a filter called QDir::NoDotAndDotDot to skip those entries in the entry list...

You know, it's kind of impossible to say what's the problem without seeing any code. Anyway, here's two ways of listing files in an alphabetic order.

1) using QComboBox::InsertAlphabetically:


#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QComboBox combo;
combo.setInsertPolicy(QComboBox::InsertAlphabetica lly);
combo.addItems(QDir("/home/jp").entryList(QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot));
combo.show();
return app.exec();
}


2) using QDir::Name sort flag


#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QComboBox combo;
combo.addItems(QDir("/home/jp").entryList(QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, QDir::Name));
combo.show();
return app.exec();
}
