The example shows a QtGui.QComboBox and a QtGui.QLabel. The combo box has a list of five options. These are the names of Linux distros. The label widget displays the selected option from the combo box.
combo = QtGui.QComboBox(self)
combo.addItem("Ubuntu")
combo.addItem("Mandriva")
combo.addItem("Fedora")
combo.addItem("Red Hat")
combo.addItem("Gentoo")
We create a QtGui.QComboBox widget with five options.
combo.activated[str].connect(self.onActivated)
Upon an item selection, we call the onActivated() method.
def onActivated(self, text):
self.lbl.setText(text)
self.lbl.adjustSize()
Inside the method, we set the text of the chosen item to the label widget. We adjust the size of the label.
