Default visible text descriptor on widgets like QSpinBox and QComboBox

[Polnareff]

Hi,

I'm wondering if it's possible to have some kind of default text descriptor on widgets like the QSpinBox and QComboBox so that before you even use the control, that text is shown. As an example, if I have a QComboBox which allows you to select different countries, then the default text would show "Country", but it would not be an option once you collapse the combobox. Is this at all easily possible in Qt?

Wow, that's an old timer

As far as I know there's no such functionality out-of-a-box in qt.
First item added to the combobox is displayed as currently selected item.

You could create your own widget using QPushButton and QListWidget (as a popup).

Edit:
In fact for spin box you can do something like that:

spinBox->setSpecialValueText( "Some Default Text" );

spinBox->setSpecialValueText( "Some Default Text" );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This text will be displayed when spinbox value is equal to minimum.
