Sorting Combobox Items

Hi,

im inserting some items like this:

Code:

---

QString path = ui.source_path_cb->currentText();
	QDir dir(path);
	QStringList list = dir.entryList(QDir::Files);
	for(unsigned i=0; i<list.count();i++){
  	if(list[i]=="." || list[i]=="..") continue;
  	ui.software_cb->insertItem(-1, list[i]);}

---

How could i sort my combobox?

:crying:

See QComboBox::InsertPolicy.

Edit: Oh, and there is also a filter called QDir::NoDotAndDotDot to skip those entries in the entry list...

Hi,

i tried all InsertPolicy options showing in the designer (for example insert Alphabeticaly ...), but i have the false sorting..

w....a and not from a ... to w :crying:

Can somebody help me to sort my combobox :crying:

You know, it's kind of impossible to say what's the problem without seeing any code. Anyway, here's two ways of listing files in an alphabetic order.

1) using QComboBox::InsertAlphabetically:

Code:

---

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QComboBox combo;
    combo.setInsertPolicy(QComboBox::InsertAlphabetically);
    combo.addItems(QDir("/home/jp").entryList(QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot));
    combo.show();
    return app.exec();
}

---

2) using QDir::Name sort flag

Code:

---

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QComboBox combo;
    combo.addItems(QDir("/home/jp").entryList(QDir::Files | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, QDir::Name));
    combo.show();
    return app.exec();
}
