Change the value of a combobox

Hi all, I have a combobox with two items, male and female.

I query a database, if the current record has gender male, i want set the combobox item to "male". If the current record is gender female I want to set the combobox item to "female".

How do I achieve this? I'm sure it's pretty simple, I just can't seem to get it to work.

Oh and a quick other question. I have another combobox which uses a model. This comobobox automatically shows the first record by default. How do i change it so that the combox is blank to begin with?

To find the text in the combo, use findText(); this will return the index of the searched string;
Then set the currentindex using setCurrentIndex() with the searched index.

Code:

---

myCombo->setCurrentIndex(myCombo->findText(rs.value(0).toString()))

simply put -1 in setCurrentIndex();

Code:

---

myCombo->setCurrentIndex(-1);
