In this article we will see how we can set a view to the combo box. View basically helps us to alter the view of the drop down item list. In order to set the view to the combo box we will use setView method.

Syntax : combo_box.setView(view) Argument : It takes view as argument Return : None

Below is the implementation –

Python3

# importing libraries
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
 
import sys
 
 
class Window(QMainWindow):
 
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
 
        # setting title
        self.setWindowTitle("Python ")
 
        # setting geometry
        self.setGeometry(100, 100, 600, 400)
 
        # calling method
        self.UiComponents()
 
        # showing all the widgets
        self.show()
 
    # method for widgets
    def UiComponents(self):
 
        # creating a combo box widget
        self.combo_box = QComboBox(self)
 
        # setting geometry of combo box
        self.combo_box.setGeometry(200, 150, 150, 30)
 
        # geek list
        geek_list = ["Sayian", "Super Sayian", "Super Sayian 2", 
                                               "Super Sayian B"]
 
        # making it editable
        self.combo_box.setEditable(True)
 
        # creating a view
        view = QTreeView()
 
        # setting view to combo box
        self.combo_box.setView(view)
 
        # adding list of items to combo box
        self.combo_box.addItems(geek_list)
 
 
 
# create pyqt5 app
App = QApplication(sys.argv)
 
# create the instance of our Window
window = Window()
 
# start the app
sys.exit(App.exec())
