    Post New item not saved to combobox when added dynamically

    Hello all,
    I am new to Qt, i am trying to add a new item to combobox when a pushbutton is clicked. At that time the combobox is showing the added item but when i closed the app and open the app it doesn't showing the added item i.e it is not saved to combobox.

    How to save the new item to combobox

    Here is my code:

    mainwindow.h

    Qt Code:
    1. private slots:
    2. void on_pushButton_clicked();
    3.  
    4. private:
    5. Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    6. QComboBox *comboBox;
    7. QPushButton *pushButton;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    mainwindow.cpp

    Qt Code:
    1. MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    2. QMainWindow(parent),
    3. ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    4. {
    5. ui->setupUi(this);
    6. comboBox=ui->comboBox;
    7. pushButton=ui->pushButton;
    8. }
    9.  
    10. void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
    11. {
    12. comboBox->addItem("hari");
    13. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Your posting does not contain any code that would persist items in any way.

    So if "when i closed the app and open the app" means you stop the program and run it again, then of course there won't be any data in the newly started instance of your program.

    Cheers,

    You can:
    -write the data into a file using either QTextStream either QDataStream(on closing or when you add the item to the qcombobox) and when the QComboBox is loaded set it to read the file for content and add the saved content to your combobox
    -use Sqlite in combination with QSqlDatabase,QSqlQuery to store and retrieve data from local database.

    When i push the button, the item is added to comboBox and it is showing the added item.
    But if i close the application and reopen it, the added item is not in the comboBox.

    As anda_skoa said, your code contains nothing that would cause the added item to persist past the current run of the program. As a result, the item does not persist between runs.

    adutzu89 has some useful suggestions. QSettings might also be a suitable place to store a small number of new items between runs.
