    Default Creating events for combobox items

    hey every1 this is my first post so im not sure if any1 will reply but here it goes. i have created a QCombobox and i have added 3 items to it. for each item i want it to signal a seperate event. is it possible to do this or should i use some other widget. i tried using highlighted() and activated() but they only seem to work for the combobox as a whole, is there anything i could use?

    Both of these signals carry the item index:
    void QComboBox::activated ( int index ) [signal]
    This signal is sent when an item in the combobox is activated by the user. The item's index is given.

    I tried the function with the following piece of code:

    Qt Code:
    1. connect(comboBox1, SIGNAL(activated(int 1)), this, SLOT(item1Chosen()));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    but the debug says there is no such signal? do i have to set up the item's index manually?how would i go about doing that?

    Because you can't put parameter values in SIGNAL or SLOT macros.

    Try this:
    Qt Code:
    1. connect( comboBox1, SIGNAL( activated( int ) ),
    2. this, SLOT( itemChosen( int ) ) );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
