Custom ui with QComboBox - addItem

[Christian_Garimberti]

Hi guys,

i'm trying to crate a small dialog to configure my project, and i need to use some ComboBox, but i can add values to them...

I need to do this in the Script Editor, the code should be inside the Vpb file.

I tried with this code, but i got an error using the addItem

xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
    <class>vrFimConfigurationPlugin</class>
    <widget class="QWidget" name="vrFimConfigurationPluginGUI">
        <property name="geometry">
            <rect>
                <x>0</x>
                <y>0</y>
                <width>300</width>
                <height>300</height>
            </rect>
        </property>
        <property name="windowTitle">
            <string>Configurazione</string>
        </property>
        
        <layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="FimCfgDialogLay">

            <item>
                <widget class="QLabel" name="Title">
                    <property name="text">
                        <string>My Combo Title</string>
                    </property>
                </widget>
            </item>
            <item>
                <widget class="QComboBox" name="_MyCombo">
                    
                </widget>
            </item>
            
        </layout>
        
    </widget>
    <resources/>
    <connections/>
</ui>
"""

MyDialog = vrWidget(xml)
MyDialog.setToolWindow(True)

myCombo = findQObject(MyDialog.getQObject(), "_MyCombo")
myCombo.addItem("My Value")

Where i am wrong? Or i have to change approach?

Best

findQObject returns a vrQObject which doesn't have an addItem()-Method, so this is expected.

I'm not familiar enough with the scripting API, but if you know the options when the script is started, you could add them to the ComboBox in the ui-xml dynamically:

xml = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui version="4.0">
    <class>vrFimConfigurationPlugin</class>
    <widget class="QWidget" name="vrFimConfigurationPluginGUI">
        <property name="geometry">
            <rect>
                <x>0</x>
                <y>0</y>
                <width>300</width>
                <height>300</height>
            </rect>
        </property>
        <property name="windowTitle">
            <string>Configurazione</string>
        </property>
        
        <layout class="QVBoxLayout" name="FimCfgDialogLay">

            <item>
                <widget class="QLabel" name="Title">
                    <property name="text">
                        <string>My Combo Title</string>
                    </property>
                </widget>
            </item>
            <item>
                <widget class="QComboBox" name="_MyCombo">
                """
for i in range(10):
    xml+="""<item>
    <property name="text">
     <string>Element"""+str(i)+"""</string>
    </property>
   </item>"""
   
someValue=true
if someValue is true:
    xml+="""<item>
    <property name="text">
     <string>OptionWhensomeValueIsTrue</string>
    </property>
   </item>"""
    
               
xml+="""
                </widget>
            </item>
            
        </layout>

Thank You @michael.horschELP2G ! This is what i need! I didn't thought to "edit" the xml code at runtime!

i searched for the "addItem" because if i use a comboBox in a scriptPlugin it works. But effectively i was working on a different object.

Then i chose another way for my project, cause i would like to use my project also with the streaming app, so i used an HTML frontplate.

But for other application i'll keep your solution in mind.

Thank You

Chris
