[Maya-Python]Working with QCombobox and QStandardItem

[Jakob Kousholt]

Hey Folks, I am looking to create a list within a QCombobox where the items have a human-readable title but is referencing an underlying unique id.

My ComboBox will list a QStandardItemModel, which contains a QStandardItem per project.

This is currently what I am doing:

for project in self.projects:

item = QtGui.QStandardItem()

item.setData(project['title'], QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole)

item.setData(project['id'], QtCore.Qt.UserRole)

item.setCheckable(False)

self.model.appendRow(item)

I then append the QStandardItemModel to the QCombobox and it displays the title as expected - sweet! However, I am not sure how I will go about retrieving the underlying id. Currently, I use projectList.currentText() Which works for getting the

current display value of the combo box, but how do I reach the underlying current QStandardItem and its id?

Also, if there's anything I have misunderstood regarding how to work with these elements I'd be happy if it got pointed out.

Thanks!

you can get the data for any role from the combobox itself

data = combo.currentData(role=QtCore.Qt.UserRole)

Nice! It works like a charm. Thanks, Russel!
