I hope these functions might help somebody. Sometimes you want to know the index of the selected item, or you might want to select the n-th item in the list.
These functions work well with combobox and treeview. They _should_ work with listview, too, since it uses a SelectionManager, but I have not tested it. /** * Gets the selected index for a combobox or treeview * returns -1 if nothing is selected. */ function getSelectedIndex (xwidget) { var mgr = xwidget.getManager(); if (mgr.getSelectedItem() == null) { return -1; } var items = mgr.getItems(); var i; for (i = 0; i < items.length; i++) { if (items[i] == mgr.getSelectedItem()) { return i; } } return -1; } /** * Gets the selected item by index for a combobox or treeview * You can pass "-1" to deselect all items, and if you pass an * index that is larger than the number of items (minus 1), the * last item will be selected. */ function setSelectedIndex (xwidget, idx) { var mgr = xwidget.getManager(); if (idx < 0) { mgr.setSelectedItem (null); return; } var items = mgr.getItems(); if (items.length == 0) { mgr.setSelectedItem (null); return; } var selitem = null; if (idx > items.length - 1) { idx = items.length - 1; } selitem = items[idx]; mgr.setSelectedItem (selitem); // we need to set the value of a QxComboBox explicitly to change // the value that is displayed. if (xwidget.setValue != null) { xwidget.setValue(selitem.getLabel()); } } ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
