Highlight item in the list in accordance to text input

[salik89]

I am trying to highlight the item in my list upon the input of the text in the LineEdit but however, not only am I unable to get it to work but it also does not highlights the item in the List. Am I writing it wrong somewhere? Any advices?

fruitsList = QListWidget()
        list01 = ['Apple','Pear','Orange','Grape','Lychee']
        self.fruitsList.addItems(list01)
 
        textInput = QLineEdit()
        fruitTxt = str(textInput)
 
        self.connect(self.textInput,('returnPressed()'), self.updateSelect)
 
        def updateSelect(self):
            self.fruitsList.findItems(str(fruitTxt), flags = Qt.MatchExactly)
            self.fruitsList.setCurrentIndex(0)

fruitsList = QListWidget()
        list01 = ['Apple','Pear','Orange','Grape','Lychee']
        self.fruitsList.addItems(list01)

        textInput = QLineEdit()
        fruitTxt = str(textInput)

        self.connect(self.textInput,('returnPressed()'), self.updateSelect)

        def updateSelect(self):
            self.fruitsList.findItems(str(fruitTxt), flags = Qt.MatchExactly)
            self.fruitsList.setCurrentIndex(0)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

findItems() returns you a list of the items matching your search string.

In your case you would then iterate over that list and call setSelected(true)
