Yes.
It is auto-generated by the ui file and initalized with that.
(Eg. it doesn't pollute your own code, but it will be taken care of in the background.)

You can open the .ui file with an XML editor and see how it deals with the stuff.
Note that Qt will generate real C++ code from the .ui, and compile it along with the rest of the app.

Code:

ui->myComboBox->currentText(); //This property holds the text of the current item.

Indeed, this is the best way to read the current text from a combo box!

Well, the apply-button stopped working after trying to let the designer take care of it all.
Edit: re-did it and it's working again (I mean the let the designer take care of connecting)

Or if you want to do something when user changes selection in drop down menu (put this in constructor and create new slot):

Code:

connect(ui->myComboBox, SIGNAL(currentIndexChanged(QString),

this,

SLOT(comboBoxCurrentIndexChanged(QString));

Code:

void MainWindow::comboBoxCurrentIndexChanged(const QString &text) {

   //Do something

}

E: Bit late. :)

Hmm... m'kay... still cannot figure out how to use this.

I mean with php I would do it like this:
$variable1 = $_GET[drop_down_transitions]
$variable2 = $_GET[drop_down_font]
$variable3 = $_GET[drop_down_color]

And then just include it like this:

Code:

    QStringList arguments;

    arguments << "$variable1" << "$variable2" << "$variable3";

    QProcess::execute("/sbin/myscript", arguments);

Thanks for you guys for the help. I know it's frustrading to teach someone who has no_idea_at_all what's happening :D

Re: Need assistance from QT / Python programmer

Something like this:

Code:

QStringList arguments;

arguments << ui->dropDownTransition->currentText() << ui->dropDownFont->currentText() << ui->dropDownColor->currentText();

QProcess::execute("/sbin/myscript", arguments);

E: It's a good practise to check if variables are empty:

Code:

QString transition = ui->dropDownTransition->currentText();

//Not empty

if (!transition.isEmpty()) {

   //Do something

}

Just a minute before you replied I figured it out by reading your previous post few times over and over :)

So it's working now!

Next step: how to build / compile a binary out of this or how to include the source with my excisting package and make autobuilder to build / compile it?

Re: Need assistance from QT / Python programmer

You can try the binary in the phone by following instructions from NokiaQtSDK_PATH/readme/index.html.

To create source package for autobuilder you need scratchbox.

Okay, will read it. I have scratchbox already for making sources of my themes.

If you already tested it using Qt Creator, here is how to make an installable package:

If you want to make a .deb package, you can use Qt Creator's option to do so (but it is quite limited at the moment), or use MADDE and type "mad dpkg-buildpackage" into the command line (in your app's root folder)

If you would like to upload it to Extras-devel, here is a good description:

I prefer to use the Assistant, it works like a charm.
