## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QWidget | parent=0
| ) |  |  |

Create an editable listbox.

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | title,
|  | QWidget | parent=0
| ) |  |  |

Create an editable listbox.

The same as the other constructor, additionally it takes title, which will be the title of the groupbox around the listbox.

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QWidget | parent,
|  | QString | name,
|  | bool | checkAtEntering=0,
|  | KEditListBox.Buttons | buttons=KEditListBox.All
| ) |  |  |

Create an editable listbox.

Deprecated:

If checkAtEntering is true, after every character you type in the line edit KEditListBox will enable or disable the Add-button, depending whether the current content of the line edit is already in the listbox. Maybe this can become a performance hit with large lists on slow machines. If checkAtEntering is false, it will be checked if you press the Add-button. It is not possible to enter items twice into the listbox.

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | title,
|  | QWidget | parent,
|  | QString | name,
|  | bool | checkAtEntering=0,
|  | KEditListBox.Buttons | buttons=KEditListBox.All
| ) |  |  |

Create an editable listbox.

Deprecated:

The same as the other constructor, additionally it takes title, which will be the title of the frame around the listbox.

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | QString | title,
|  | KEditListBox.CustomEditor | customEditor,
|  | QWidget | parent=0,
|  | QString | name=0,
|  | bool | checkAtEntering=0,
|  | KEditListBox.Buttons | buttons=KEditListBox.All
| ) |  |  |

Another constructor, which allows to use a custom editing widget instead of the standard KLineEdit widget. E.g. you can use a KUrlRequester or a KComboBox as input widget. The custom editor must consist of a lineedit and optionally another widget that is used as representation. A KComboBox or a KUrlRequester have a KLineEdit as child-widget for example, so the KComboBox is used as the representation widget.

See also:
  KUrlRequester.customEditor(), setCustomEditor

|  | KEditListBox | a0
| ) |  |  |

QPushButton addButton | ( |  | self ) |

bool eventFilter | ( | self, |
|  | QObject | o,
|  | QEvent | e
| ) |  |  |

Reimplented for interal reasons. The API is not affected.

insertItem | ( | self, |
|  | QString | text,
|  | int | index=-1
| ) |  |  |

|  | KEditListBox.Buttons | buttons
| ) |  |  |

setCheckAtEntering | ( | self, |
|  | bool | check
| ) |  |  |

If check is true, after every character you type in the line edit KEditListBox will enable or disable the Add-button, depending whether the current content of the line edit is already in the listbox. Maybe this can become a performance hit with large lists on slow machines. If check is false, it will be checked if you press the Add-button. It is not possible to enter items twice into the listbox. Default is false.

setCustomEditor | ( | self, |
|  | KEditListBox.CustomEditor | editor
| ) |  |  |

Allows to use a custom editing widget instead of the standard KLineEdit widget. E.g. you can use a KUrlRequester or a KComboBox as input widget. The custom editor must consist of a lineedit and optionally another widget that is used as representation. A KComboBox or a KUrlRequester have a KLineEdit as child-widget for example, so the KComboBox is used as the representation widget.

  4.1

setItems | ( | self, |
|  | QStringList | items
| ) |  |  |

Clears the listbox and sets the contents to items

QString text | ( | self, |
