    Default Sorting Combobox Items

    Hi,

    im inserting some items like this:
    Qt Code:
    1. QString path = ui.source_path_cb->currentText();
    2. QDir dir(path);
    3. QStringList list = dir.entryList(QDir::Files);
    4. for(unsigned i=0; i<list.count();i++){
    5. if(list[i]=="." || list[i]=="..") continue;
    6. ui.software_cb->insertItem(-1, list[i]);}
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    How could i sort my combobox?

    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:
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QtGui>
    2.  
    3. int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    4. {
    5. QApplication app(argc, argv);
    6. QComboBox combo;
    7. combo.setInsertPolicy(QComboBox::InsertAlphabetically);
    8. combo.addItems(QDir("/home/jp").entryList(QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot));
    9. combo.show();
    10. return app.exec();
    11. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    2) using QDir::Name sort flag
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QtGui>
    2.  
    3. int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    4. {
    5. QApplication app(argc, argv);
    6. QComboBox combo;
    7. combo.addItems(QDir("/home/jp").entryList(QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, QDir::Name));
    8. combo.show();
    9. return app.exec();
    10. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
