Ok i guess i do understand the basic idea now a bit better.

My first test does not work, but i guess that has something to do with my implementation.

Qt Code:
  1. void MainWindow::showPopup()
  2. {
  3. // re-Init-Section
  4. // ....
  5. // ....
  6. // end- re-Init Section
  7.  
  8. QComboBox::showPopup();
  9. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Error:
mainwindow.cpp:350: error: cannot call member function `virtual void QComboBox::showPopup()' without object
