reset value of combobox based on stored data in db

[waynew]

I don't know about mapper, but here is how I initialize my combo boxes with db values:

// Retrieves the preferences to populate the dialog when it opens
void PreferencesDialog::getPreferences(QString ctrlConn)
{
   QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::database(ctrlConn);
   db.open();
   QSqlRecord record;
   QSqlTableModel* model = new QSqlTableModel(this, db);
   model->setTable("preferences");
   model->select();
   record = model->record(0);
 
m_ui->cbPort->setCurrentIndex(m_ui->cbPort->findText(record.value("port").toString()));

// Retrieves the preferences to populate the dialog when it opens
void PreferencesDialog::getPreferences(QString ctrlConn)
{
   QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::database(ctrlConn);
   db.open();
   QSqlRecord record;
   QSqlTableModel* model = new QSqlTableModel(this, db);
   model->setTable("preferences");
   model->select();
   record = model->record(0);

m_ui->cbPort->setCurrentIndex(m_ui->cbPort->findText(record.value("port").toString()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Does that help any?
