Ehm, what is what??? make sure i is set to the right value, and is query valid in your slot? and is it called after all?

i changed the code theory to this one and its worked fine :) :



void CheckoutDialog::on_empNoEdit_textChanged()
{

int k=1;

query.first();

//_______check for item(0)____________
if (ui->empNoLine->text().toInt()==query.value(0).toInt())

{
ui->empNameBox->setCurrentIndex(k);


}
//_____________________________________


//_______for the rest of items___________

while(query.next())

{


if (ui->empNoLine->text().toInt()==query.value(0).toInt())

{
ui->empNameBox->setCurrentIndex(k);

break;
}


k++;
}
//_________________________________________

}


is there any way to do this in a simple way ?

Yes, surely! But You still haven't said what the content of query is, what in your combo box is displayed etc...

One (of some) improvements: use a do-while scope. (or for loop) So you can integrate the check of the first item

the query is containing numbers of employees , the combo box containing there names, so i sorted the query by the names alphabet like this :


query.exec("select emp_no from employees order by name;");

i want to synchronize the line Edit with the combo box so when user enter number to the line edit , i should get the index of that number on the query and send the index to the combo box to be its current index number.

Instead of alway query the database set the id direct as user data to your combo box. then simply loop through the box and check there. Or if it is a long combo box create a local index hash.
