Using QInputDialog with a checkbox

Onikouzou

Are you able to use a checkbox inside an QInputDialog window? I want to prompt the user to be able to choose from about 25 different options that will be used as mutators elsewhere in the program.

This is what I have right now. It doesn't compile at all, but basically I'm trying to use the combobox inside the QInputDIalog box.

QCheckBox sounds;
QInputDialog showSounds;
QStringList soundList;
soundList << sounds.setText("Sound 1");

showSounds.setOptions(QInputDialog::UseListViewForComboBoxItems);
showSounds.setComboBoxItems(soundList);
showSounds.setWindowTitle("Select sounds");
showSounds.exec();

Thanks for the answer ahead of time.

Hi friend. welcome!
void setText(const QString &text) return void. and you used soundList << sounds.setText("Sound 1"); I didn't understand it. It is wrong.

And I saw the qt help about the QInputDialog

The QInputDialog class provides a simple convenience dialog to get a single value from the user.
The input value can be a string, a number or an item from a list ...

About the an item from list

void setComboBoxItems(const QStringList &items); ///< It is the ComboBox item. Not the CheckBox.

so, if you want to have the checkbox.

First solution: You can subclass QDialog. i think it is easy and good solution.
Second solution: I saw the QComboBox, and you can try using void setItemDelegate(QAbstractItemDelegate *delegate)
to delegate the checkbox. It is complex i think.

maybe someone has the better answer. best wish for you.

@Onikouzou What is this checkbox used for?
If you only want to use a combobox then do:

QInputDialog showSounds;
QStringList soundList;
soundList << "Sound 1" << "Sound 2";
showSounds.setOptions(QInputDialog::UseListViewForComboBoxItems); // Remove this if you want a combobox instead of a list
showSounds.setComboBoxItems(soundList);
showSounds.setWindowTitle("Select sounds");
showSounds.exec();
