Detailed Description

A combo box with completion support.

This widget inherits from QComboBox and implements the following additional features:

  • a completion object that provides both automatic and manual text completion as well as text rotation
  • configurable key bindings to activate these features
  • a popup menu item that can be used to allow the user to change the text completion mode on the fly.

To support these new features, KComboBox emits a few additional signals such as completion(const QString&) and textRotation(KeyBindingType). The completion signal can be connected to a slot that will assist the user in filling out the remaining text while the rotation signal can be used to traverse through all possible matches whenever text completion results in multiple matches. Additionally, the returnPressed() and returnPressed(const QString&) signals are emitted when the user presses the Enter/Return key.

KCombobox by default creates a completion object when you invoke the completionObject(bool) member function for the first time or explicitly use setCompletionObject(KCompletion*, bool) to assign your own completion object. Additionally, to make this widget more functional, KComboBox will by default handle text rotation and completion events internally whenever a completion object is created through either one of the methods mentioned above. If you do not need this functionality, simply use KCompletionBase::setHandleSignals(bool) or alternatively set the boolean parameter in the setCompletionObject call to false.

Beware: The completion object can be deleted on you, especially if a call such as setEditable(false) is made. Store the pointer at your own risk, and consider using QPointer<KCompletion>.

The default key bindings for completion and rotation are determined from the global settings in KStandardShortcut. These values, however, can be overridden locally by invoking KCompletionBase::setKeyBinding(). The values can easily be reverted back to the default settings by calling useGlobalSettings(). An alternate method would be to default individual key bindings by using setKeyBinding() with the default second argument.

A non-editable combo box only has one completion mode, CompletionAuto. Unlike an editable combo box, the CompletionAuto mode works by matching any typed key with the first letter of entries in the combo box. Please note that if you call setEditable(false) to change an editable combo box to a non-editable one, the text completion object associated with the combo box will no longer exist unless you created the completion object yourself and assigned it to this widget or you called setAutoDeleteCompletionObject(false). In other words do not do the following:

KComboBox* combo = new KComboBox(true, this);
KCompletion* comp = combo->completionObject();
combo->setEditable(false);
comp->clear(); // CRASH: completion object does not exist anymore.

A read-only KComboBox will have the same background color as a disabled KComboBox, but its foreground color will be the one used for the editable mode. This differs from QComboBox's implementation and is done to give visual distinction between the three different modes: disabled, read-only, and editable.

Usage
To enable the basic completion feature:

KComboBox *combo = new KComboBox(true, this);
KCompletion *comp = combo->completionObject();
// Connect to the return pressed signal - optional
connect(combo,SIGNAL(returnPressed(const QString&)),comp,SLOT(addItem(const QString&)));
// Provide the to be completed strings. Note that those are separate from the combo's
// contents.
comp->insertItems(someQStringList);

To use your own completion object:

KComboBox *combo = new KComboBox(this);
KUrlCompletion *comp = new KUrlCompletion();
combo->setCompletionObject(comp);
// Connect to the return pressed signal - optional
connect(combo,SIGNAL(returnPressed(const QString&)),comp,SLOT(addItem(const QString&)));

Note that you have to either delete the allocated completion object when you don't need it anymore, or call setAutoDeleteCompletionObject(true);

Miscellaneous function calls:

// Tell the widget not to handle completion and rotation
combo->setHandleSignals(false);
// Set your own completion key for manual completions.
combo->setKeyBinding(KCompletionBase::TextCompletion, Qt::End);

Member Function Documentation

void KComboBox::aboutToShowContextMenu ( QMenu *  contextMenu)
signal

Emitted before the context menu is displayed.

The signal allows you to add your own entries into the context menu. Note that you must not store the pointer to the QPopupMenu since it is created and deleted on demand. Otherwise, you can crash your app.

Parameters
contextMenuthe context menu about to be displayed
void KComboBox::addUrl ( const QUrl &  url)

Appends url to the combo box.

QUrl::toDisplayString() is used so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 225 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::addUrl ( const QIcon &  icon,
const QUrl &  url 
)

Appends url with the icon to the combo box.

QUrl::toDisplayString() is used so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 230 of file kcombobox.cpp.

bool KComboBox::autoCompletion ( ) const

Reimplemented from QComboBox.

Returns true if the current completion mode is set to automatic. See its more comprehensive replacement completionMode().

Returns
true when completion mode is automatic.
void KComboBox::changeUrl ( int  index,
const QUrl &  url 
)

Replaces the item at position index with url.

QUrl::toDisplayString() is used so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 245 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::changeUrl ( int  index,
const QIcon &  icon,
const QUrl &  url 
)

Replaces the item at position index with url and icon.

QUrl::toDisplayString() is used so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 250 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::completion ( const QString &  )
signal

Emitted when the completion key is pressed.

The argument is the current text being edited.

Note that this signal is not available when the widget is non-editable or the completion mode is set to CompletionNone.

KCompletionBox * KComboBox::completionBox ( bool  create = true)
Returns
the completion box that is used in completion mode CompletionPopup and CompletionPopupAuto.

This method will create a completion box by calling KLineEdit::completionBox, if none is there yet.

Parameters
createSet this to false if you don't want the box to be created i.e. to test if it is available.

Definition at line 264 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::completionModeChanged ( KCompletion::CompletionMode  )
signal

Emitted whenever the completion mode is changed by the user through the context menu.

bool KComboBox::contains ( const QString &  text) const

Convenience method which iterates over all items and checks if any of them is equal to text.

If text is an empty string, false is returned.

Returns
true if an item with the string text is in the combo box.

Definition at line 97 of file kcombobox.cpp.

int KComboBox::cursorPosition ( ) const

Returns the current cursor position.

This method always returns a -1 if the combo box is not editable (read-only).

Returns
Current cursor position.

Definition at line 112 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::insertURL ( const QUrl &  url,
int  index = -1 
)
inline

Deprecated to reflect Qt api changes.

Deprecated:
since 4.5

Definition at line 183 of file kcombobox.h.

void KComboBox::insertUrl ( int  index,
const QUrl &  url 
)

Inserts url at position index into the combo box.

QUrl::toDisplayString() is used so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 235 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::insertUrl ( int  index,
const QIcon &  icon,
const QUrl &  url 
)

Inserts url with the icon at position index into the combo box.

QUrl::toDisplayString() is used so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 240 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::makeCompletion ( const QString &  text)
protectedvirtualslot

Completes text according to the completion mode.

Note: this method is not invoked if the completion mode is set to CompletionNone. Also if the mode is set to CompletionShell and multiple matches are found, this method will complete the text to the first match with a beep to indicate that there are more matches. Then any successive completion key event iterates through the remaining matches. This way the rotation functionality is left to iterate through the list as usual.

Definition at line 178 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::returnPressed ( )
signal

Emitted when the user presses the Enter key.

Note that this signal is only emitted when the widget is editable.

void KComboBox::returnPressed ( const QString &  )
signal

Emitted when the user presses the Enter key.

The argument is the current text being edited. This signal is just like returnPressed() except that it contains the current text as its argument.

Note that this signal is only emitted when the widget is editable.

void KComboBox::rotateText ( KCompletionBase::KeyBindingType  type)
slot

Iterates through all possible matches of the completed text or the history list.

Depending on the value of the argument, this function either iterates through the history list of this widget or all the possible matches in whenever multiple matches result from a text completion request. Note that the all-possible-match iteration will not work if there are no previous matches, i.e. no text has been completed and the *nix shell history list rotation is only available if the insertion policy for this widget is set either QComobBox::AtTop or QComboBox::AtBottom. For other insertion modes whatever has been typed by the user when the rotation event was initiated will be lost.

Parameters
typeThe key binding invoked.

Definition at line 194 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setAutoCompletion ( bool  autocomplete)
virtual

Reimplemented from QComboBox.

If true, the completion mode will be set to automatic. Otherwise, it is defaulted to the global setting. This method has been replaced by the more comprehensive setCompletionMode().

Parameters
autocompleteFlag to enable/disable automatic completion mode.

Definition at line 117 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setCompletedItems ( const QStringList &  items,
bool  autosubject = true 
)
overrideslot

Sets items into the completion box if completionMode() is CompletionPopup.

The popup will be shown immediately.

Definition at line 256 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setCompletedText ( const QString &  text)
overrideslot

Sets the completed text in the line edit appropriately.

This function is an implementation for KCompletionBase::setCompletedText.

Definition at line 170 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setCompletedText ( const QString &  text,
bool  marked 
)
protectedvirtual

This function sets the line edit text and highlights the text appropriately if the boolean value is set to true.

Parameters
textThe text to be set in the line edit
markedWhether the text inserted should be highlighted

Definition at line 162 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setContextMenuEnabled ( bool  showMenu)
virtual

Enables or disables the popup (context) menu.

This method only works if this widget is editable, and allows you to enable/disable the context menu. It does nothing if invoked for a non-editable combo box.

By default, the context menu is created if this widget is editable. Call this function with the argument set to false to disable the popup menu.

Parameters
showMenuIf true, show the context menu.
Deprecated:
since 4.5, use setContextMenuPolicy instead

Definition at line 137 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setCurrentItem ( const QString &  item,
bool  insert = false,
int  index = -1 
)
slot

Selects the first item that matches item.

If there is no such item, it is inserted at position index if insert is true. Otherwise, no item is selected.

Definition at line 368 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setEditable ( bool  editable)

Reimplemented so that setEditable(true) creates a KLineEdit instead of QLineEdit.

Note that QComboBox::setEditable is not virtual, so do not use a KComboBox in a QComboBox pointer.

Definition at line 392 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setEditUrl ( const QUrl &  url)

Sets url into the edit field of the combo box.

It uses QUrl::toDisplayString() so that the url is properly decoded for displaying.

Definition at line 220 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setLineEdit ( QLineEdit *  edit)
virtual

Reimplemented for internal reasons.

API remains unaffected. Note that QComboBox::setLineEdit is not virtual in Qt4, do not use a KComboBox in a QComboBox pointer.

NOTE: Only editable combo boxes can have a line editor. As such any attempt to assign a line edit to a non-editable combo box will simply be ignored.

Definition at line 290 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setTrapReturnKey ( bool  trap)

By default, KComboBox recognizes Key_Return and Key_Enter and emits the returnPressed() signals, but it also lets the event pass, for example causing a dialog's default button to be called.

Call this method with trap equal to true to make KComboBox stop these events. The signals will still be emitted of course.

Only affects editable combo boxes.

setTrapReturnKey()

Definition at line 202 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::setUrlDropsEnabled ( bool  enable)

Enables/Disables handling of URL drops.

If enabled and the user drops an URL, the decoded URL will be inserted. Otherwise the default behavior of QComboBox is used, which inserts the encoded URL.

Parameters
enableIf true, insert decoded URLs
Deprecated:
since 5.0. Use lineEdit()->installEventFilter with a LineEditUrlDropEventFilter

Definition at line 147 of file kcombobox.cpp.

void KComboBox::substringCompletion ( const QString &  )
signal

Emitted when the shortcut for substring completion is pressed.

void KComboBox::textRotation ( KCompletionBase::KeyBindingType  )
signal

Emitted when the text rotation key bindings are pressed.

The argument indicates which key binding was pressed. In this case this can be either one of four values: PrevCompletionMatch, NextCompletionMatch, RotateUp or RotateDown.

Note that this signal is not emitted if the completion mode is set to CompletionNone.

See also
KCompletionBase::setKeyBinding() for details
bool KComboBox::trapReturnKey ( ) const
Returns
true if key events of Key_Return or Key_Enter will be stopped; false if they will be propagated.
See also
setTrapReturnKey ()
bool KComboBox::urlDropsEnabled ( ) const

Returns true when decoded URL drops are enabled.
