You didn't specify any version, so I'm assuming you're using the latest and greatest Qt Quick Controls 2. You can specify ComboBox::displayText to show any text you want on the button, and the popup you can access via ComboBox::popup, and call open() on it. - http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls2-combobox.html#displayText -prop - http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls2-combobox.html#popup-prop -- J-P Nurmi _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
