Populating a combo box from another relation

Hello all,

I am trying to populate two combo boxes from another relation using the code below:

Code:

---

// Setup the model to use in the mapper
    model = new QSqlRelationalTableModel(this);
    model->setTable("Orders");
    model->setRelation(7, QSqlRelation("customers", "CustomerNumber", "Name"));
    model->setRelation(5, QSqlRelation("employee", "EmployeeNumber", "UserName"));
    model->select();
    Qt::SortOrder order = Qt::AscendingOrder;
    model->sort(0, order);
 
    // Setup the mapper for the order widgets
    mapper = new QDataWidgetMapper(this);
    mapper->setSubmitPolicy(QDataWidgetMapper::AutoSubmit);
    mapper->setModel(model);
    mapper->setItemDelegate(new QSqlRelationalDelegate(model));
    mapper->addMapping(ui->idLineEdit, 0);
    mapper->addMapping(ui->fullfilledCheckBox,1);
    mapper->addMapping(ui->fullfilledDateEdit, 2);
    mapper->addMapping(ui->orderDateEdit, 3);
    mapper->addMapping(ui->dueDateEdit, 4);
    mapper->addMapping(ui->employeeComboBox, 5, "currentIndex");
    mapper->addMapping(ui->dueTimeEdit, 6);
    mapper->addMapping(ui->customerComboBox, 7, "currentIndex");

---

The attribute names and numbers are correct. The orders relation has employee number in column 5 and customer number in column 7. The code runs and shows the order mapped correctly but the combo boxes are empty.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thanks,

Pericles

I managed to add the names in the qcombobox using the following code:

Code:

---

ui->customerComboBox->setModel(model->relationModel(7));
    ui->customerComboBox->setModelColumn(1);

---

But now when I save I save the index of the combo box instead of the actual value that relates to the name shown. Anyone knows how I can save the Customer Number (stored in column 0) in the customer table rather than the combobox index when I submit the model?

Shouldn't the comboboxes also have the relational delegate applied?

I decided to keep it simple now until I figure out how to do the combo boxes. I used a LineEdit and it works fine. The only difference is that I do not have a dropdown but I had to implement a Find function next to it that inserts the value.

QComboBox::setItemDelegate()
