QComboBox & QAbstractItemModel - editable/filtering

[Dariusz]

Hey

What function do I have to implement in my abstract model to allow for filtering to work when I plug the model inside combo box? I'm trying to select item/filter while typing - have auto complete...

I've set combo->setView(new QTreeView()) as well as combo->setView(new myTree()) neither seem to affect it so it must be model related?

TIA

Edit I actually even struggle to get text display in the comboBox line edit from model items... hmmm what do I need to link it properly?

---

Did more digging, still no luck, none of signals/slots in QComboWidget return a QModelIndex, thus if I click on item inside another item(child) then I get wrong index. As the index is relevant to rootItem not parentItem... oh dear...

Trying to get a signal from treeView directly seem to not work either?

    connect(mCombo_scene->view(), &QAbstractItemView::activated, [=](const QModelIndex &index) {
        qDebug() << "EH?  " <<"I got correct Index?";
        //mCombo_scene->setCurrentText(index.data(Qt::DisplayRole).toString());
    });
