# ComboBox


## Enum Combo Box

`QEnumComboBox` is a variant of [`QComboBox`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html)
that populates the items in the combobox based on a python `Enum` class.  In addition to all
the methods provided by `QComboBox`, this subclass adds the methods
`enumClass`/`setEnumClass` to get/set the current `Enum` class represented by the combobox,
and `currentEnum`/`setCurrentEnum` to get/set the current `Enum` member in the combobox.
There is also a new signal `currentEnumChanged(enum)` analogous to `currentIndexChanged` and `currentTextChanged`.

Method like `insertItem` and `addItem` are blocked and try of its usage will end with `RuntimeError`

```python
from enum import Enum

from superqt import QEnumComboBox

class SampleEnum(Enum):
    first = 1
    second = 2
    third = 3

# as usual:
# you must create a QApplication before create a widget.

combo = QEnumComboBox()
combo.setEnumClass(SampleEnum)
```

other option is to use optional `enum_class` argument of constructor and change
```python
combo = QEnumComboBox()
combo.setEnumClass(SampleEnum)
```
to
```python
combo = QEnumComboBox(enum_class=SampleEnum)
```


### Allow `None`
`QEnumComboBox` allow using Optional type annotation:

```python
from enum import Enum

from superqt import QEnumComboBox

class SampleEnum(Enum):
    first = 1
    second = 2
    third = 3

# as usual:
# you must create a QApplication before create a widget.

combo = QEnumComboBox()
combo.setEnumClass(SampleEnum, allow_none=True)
```

In this case there is added option `----` and `currentEnum` will return `None` for it.

## QSearchableComboBox

`QSearchableComboBox` is a variant of [`QComboBox`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html) that
allow to filter list of options by enter part of text. It could be drop in replacement for `QComboBox`.
