Populate a combobox from vector<string>

[jacek]

You should read this: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/designe...component.html (especially the part about single inheritance approach).

So my code would look like this:

vector<string> names;
size_t i;

combo_box::combo_box: (QWidget *parent) : QDialog(parent)
{
ui.setupUi(this);

for (i = 0; i 1= names.size(); ++i)
{
ui.name_combo->addItem(names[i]);
}

}

Will STL strings work or is there a conversion to QtString I will need to make?

Yes.

You have to convert std::string to QString like this:

ui.name_combo->addItem( QString::fromStdString( names[i] ) );

ui.name_combo->addItem( QString::fromStdString( names[i] ) );

Make sure that Qt was compiled with STL support (AFAIR it's enabled by default, so just check if your program compiles).
