[QT3] QComboBox: Disable adding items on Enter-keypress

Hello :)

I have a question.

Is it possible to disable the function of a editable QComboBox to add items on a Enter-keypress ?

see the screenshot, I don't want item1 to be added to the list when Enter is pressed.

Thx in advance :D

Install an event filter on it and filter out the return and enter keys.

So it means I have to subclass QComboBox (e.g MyComboBox) and override keyPressEvent by adding it to MyComboBox?


edit: thx wysota, you solved my problem :D

No, you have to apply an "eventFilter" (installEventFilter() and eventFilter()).

Thx! I will try it out on Monday at my work, didn't realize that you meant this..
The subclassing method worked also, but your solution looks better :D

It's not "better". It's "quicker" and "simpler" :cool:

May be you should try method setInsertionPolicy( QComboBox::NoInsertion).
